SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - February 14, 2011) - Medivation, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDVN) and Astellas Pharma Inc. today announced that new, long-term, follow-up data from the Phase 1-2 trial of MDV3100 in patients with advanced prostate cancer will be presented in a poster session at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GU) in Orlando, Fla. MDV3100 is a novel, triple-acting, oral androgen receptor antagonist.

The abstract (#177), titled "Antitumor activity of MDV3100 in pre- and post-docetaxel advanced prostate cancer: long-term follow-up of the Phase 1-2 study" will be available tomorrow, Tuesday, February 15, at 6:00 p.m. ET on the ASCO website at www.ASCO.org. The full poster (poster board #A71) will be presented on Thursday, February 17, from 4:50 - 6:20 p.m. ET during the General Poster Session B: Prostate Cancer in the Exhibit Hall at the Orlando World Center Marriott. The poster will include the most up-to-date data from this trial and will expand upon the results originally submitted in the abstract.

"We look forward to presenting promising new efficacy data from the Phase 1-2 trial of MDV3100," said Lynn Seely, M.D., chief medical officer of Medivation. "As part of these data, we will be sharing results of median time to prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression. We will be presenting PSA progression data calculated using three distinct reporting criteria: the criteria specified in the Phase 1-2 trial protocol; the most recent published PSA reporting consensus criteria (the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 2, or PCWG2, criteria)(1); and an older commonly used reporting method (the Prostate-Specific Antigen Working Group 1, or PSAWG1, criteria)(2)."
