Pre-Market Analysis on Dendreon, ACADIA Pharma, Medivation, and Cell Therapeutics

Pre-Market Analysis on Dendreon, ACADIA Pharma, Medivation, and Cell Therapeutics

LONDON, April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Swiss pharmaceutical major Novartis AG recently lost a patent case related to its cancer drug in India. The development once again highlights that drug manufacturers are facing significant competition from generic drugs. Major pharmaceutical companies have already seen patents on several blockbuster drugs expire over the last one year. The key for pharma companies will be to boost their product portfolio through research and development. Pharma companies can also look to acquire or partner with biotechnology companies that have developed or are developing potential blockbuster drugs. Dendreon Corporation (NASDAQ: DNDN), ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ACAD), Medivation Inc. (NASDAQ: MDVN), and Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CTIC) are some of the biotechnology companies that could generate interest among major drug manufacturers. On Thursday, biotechnology stocks ended mostly higher, tracking gains in the broad market. StockCall has posted free technical research on DNDN, ACAD, MDVN, and CTIC which can be downloaded upon sign up at
