`As expected, Medivation's Xtandi handily beatAstraZeneca’s Casodex in the STRIVE
`prostate—cancer study, too.
`
`Median progression-free survival (PFS) of 19.4 for Medivation's (ticker: MDVN ) Xtandi
`versus 5.7 months for AstraZeneca’s ( fl ) Casodex in the STRIVE study, versus
`15.7 versus 5.8 months (Xtandi versus Casodex) in the TERRAIN study. The longer
`PFS in STRIVE versus TERRAIN is expected, given that STRIVE included both MO and
`M1 (both nonmetastatic and metastatic) patients (396 patients, all U.S.), while
`TERRAIN included only M1 (metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC))
`patients (375 patients in North America and Europe).
`Median time on treatment was 14.7 versus 8.4 months for Xtandi versus Casodex,
`respectively, and 11.7 versus 5.5 months in TERRAIN. Adverse events (AEs)were
`reported in 29.4% versus 28.3% (Xtandi versus Casodex) in STRIVE, and 31.1%
`versus 23.3% in TERRAIN. G3 or higher cardiac AEs were 5.1% versus 4.0% (Xtandi
`versus Casodex), in line with 5.5% versus 2.1% in TERRAIN. There was one seizure in
`the Xtandi ann versus none in the Casodex arm, versus twoforXtandi and none for
`Casodex, in TERRAIN.
`The data are positive and very consistent with the TERRAIN data and oonlimi the
`drug's good activity and safety. Seizures are still there, but one in about 200 patients in
`STRIVE and two in about 200 in TERRAIN, bi.it this looks like an acoeptable risklbenelit
`and physicians have already been comfortable with it. We believe these data will help
`the drug get additional penetration in the pre-chemo setting, where we believe it will
`have the upper hand over [Johnson & Johnson's ( @ )] Zytiga, mainly due to
`convenience. However, we believe that significant adoption in the earlier stages of the
`
`disease will require Phase 3 data, which will take many years to read out.
`We believe Xtandi is a very active and well-tolerated agent that would have the upper
`hand in the pre-chemo setting given Zytiga’s need for steroid use, so we project that
`Xtandi will eventually become the dominant player in these settings. However, given
`that Medivation shares this asset with Astellas Phamia [of Japan] (gets 50% of U.S.
`sales, low-teens to low-205 royalties outside the U.S.), and despite projecting very
`generous Xtandi sales ($9 billion in 2026), we think Medivation shares already rellect
`the drug’s potential and we would look for a better entry point into this story.
`
`[We rate Medivation at Sector Perfonn.]
