About Medexus Pharmaceuticals
Medexus Pharmaceuticals (TSX: MDP, OTCQX: MEDXF) is a North American specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to providing innovative and rare disease treatment solutions. With a strong commercial platform spanning Canada and the United States, Medexus focuses on addressing unmet medical needs in therapeutic areas such as oncology, hematology, rheumatology, autoimmune diseases, allergy, and dermatology.
Core Business Model
Medexus operates primarily through exclusive licensing agreements with global pharmaceutical developers, enabling the company to commercialize and distribute niche pharmaceutical products in North American markets. The company’s revenue streams are derived from product sales, supported by strategic investments in market access, regulatory compliance, and commercialization infrastructure. This model allows Medexus to capitalize on high-value markets while mitigating the risks associated with in-house drug development.
Therapeutic Focus and Product Portfolio
Medexus’s portfolio includes a diverse range of specialty pharmaceutical products targeting rare and complex conditions:
- Hematology-Oncology: Products like Trecondyv® (treosulfan for injection) in Canada and GRAFAPEX™ in the United States are used as preparative regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
- Autoimmune and Rheumatology: Rasuvo® and Metoject®, methotrexate-based therapies, offer solutions for autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
