—$126.1 Million in Fourth Quarter U.S. Net Sales of XTANDI—

—$392.4 Million in 2013 Full-Year U.S. Net Sales of XTANDI—

—Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time—

San Francisco, CA – February 27, 2014 – Medivation, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDVN) today provided a corporate update and reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013. U.S. net sales of XTANDI^® (enzalutamide) capsules for the quarter, as reported by Astellas Pharma Inc., were $126.1 million. U.S. net sales for the full year 2013, as reported by Astellas, were $392.4 million. Ex-U.S. net sales of XTANDI for the quarter, as reported by Astellas, were $35.8 million. Ex-U.S. net sales, as reported by Astellas, for the full year 2013 were $52.8 million.

“2013 was an extremely productive year for Medivation. In addition to the excellent commercial performance from XTANDI in mCRPC patients post chemotherapy, the year was highlighted by the statistically significant results from the Phase 3 PREVAIL study as well as the initiation and continued enrollment in numerous ongoing clinical studies evaluating enzalutamide in pre-chemotherapy CRPC patients, including both metastatic and non-metastatic disease, and also in breast cancer,” said David Hung, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Medivation. “Looking ahead, we remain focused on continued value creation for our shareholders, driving meaningful innovation and rapidly pursuing the most attractive business opportunities strategically and cost-effectively.”

Recent Developments

XTANDI^® (enzalutamide) capsules

•

U.S. net sales of XTANDI were $126.1 million in the fourth quarter and $392.4 million for the full year 2013. XTANDI was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have previously received docetaxel on August 31, 2012 and was made available for shipment on September 13, 2012. Medivation and Astellas are jointly responsible for commercialization and development of XTANDI in the U.S. and share equally in the costs (subject to certain exceptions), profits and losses arising from U.S. development and commercialization of XTANDI.

•

Ex-U.S. net sales of XTANDI were $35.8 million in the fourth quarter and $52.8 million for the full year 2013. XTANDI was granted marketing authorization in the European Union in June 2013.

Outside of the U.S., Astellas has responsibility for developing and commercializing XTANDI and pays Medivation a tiered royalty ranging from the low teens to the low twenties on aggregate net sales of XTANDI.

•

XTANDI is approved in more than 35 countries for the treatment of patients with mCRPC who have previously received docetaxel.

PREVAIL

•

Reported positive top-line results in October 2013 from the PREVAIL trial, a randomized, double-blind Phase 3 trial evaluating enzalutamide as compared to placebo in more than 1,700 pre-chemotherapy mCRPC patients. Given the overall survival benefit and the observed safety profile, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee considered the overall benefit-risk ratio to favor the enzalutamide arm and recommended unequivocally that patients receiving placebo be offered treatment with enzalutamide.

^¡

Compared to placebo, enzalutamide demonstrated statistically significant reductions in both the risk of death (29% risk reduction; HR=0.71; p<0.0001) and the risk of radiographic progression or death (81% risk reduction; HR=0.19; p<0.0001). Benefit in overall survival was observed despite greater use of subsequent life-extending therapies in the placebo group (70%) compared to the enzalutamide group (40%).

•

Additional results from the PREVAIL trial were shared in a late-breaking oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2014 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU) in January 2014. Enzalutamide achieved all of PREVAIL’s key secondary endpoints with strong statistical significance.

^¡

Men taking enzalutamide experienced a 17-month delay in the time to initiation of chemotherapy compared with placebo (28.0 months versus 10.8 months; HR=0.35; p<0.0001).

^¡

The majority of men (58.8%) with soft tissue metastatic disease treated with enzalutamide versus 5% of patients treated with placebo had objective responses (complete responses or partial responses) including complete responses in 19.7% of enzalutamide patients compared with 1% of placebo patients.

^¡

Enzalutamide extended the median time to PSA progression from 2.8 months (placebo) to 11.2 months (HR=0.169; p< 0.0001).

^¡

Nearly 4 out of 5 patients in the enzalutamide group experienced a PSA decline of 50% or more, compared to less than 4% in the placebo group (78% vs. 3.5%; p<0.0001).

^¡

The median times to deterioration in a measure of prostate cancer-specific quality of life, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate, or FACT-P, were 11.3 months for the enzalutamide-treated patients and 5.6 months for the placebo patients (HR=0.625, p<0.0001).

^¡

The median treatment duration for enzalutamide was more than 3 times longer than for placebo (16.6 versus 4.6 months).

^¡

Common side effects occurring during treatment and more common in the enzalutamide treated men included fatigue, back pain, constipation and arthralgia. Hypertension was observed in 13.4% of enzalutamide versus 4.1% of placebo-treated patients. Grade 3 or greater adverse events were observed in 42.9% of enzalutamide-treated versus 37.1% of placebo-treated patients. Investigators reported zero seizures in the enzalutamide-treated group and one in the placebo group prior to the data cutoff date. One seizure was reported in the enzalutamide group after the data cutoff date.

^¡

Regulatory applications are expected to be submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency in early 2014.

Enzalutamide Clinical Development Program

•

Initiated the Phase 3 PROSPER trial in December 2013 evaluating the safety and efficacy of enzalutamide in approximately 1,500 patients with non-metastatic CRPC. PROSPER will enroll a high-risk subgroup of patients with prostate cancer who are progressing despite androgen deprivation therapy, but who are asymptomatic with no prior or present evidence of metastatic disease. The primary endpoint of the trial is metastasis-free survival.

•

Advanced the development program comparing enzalutamide’s effects on progression-free-survival when compared head-to-head versus bicalutamide, the most commonly used anti-androgen, in men who have progressed following medical castration with LHRH analog therapy or surgical castration.

^¡

Completed patient enrollment in the TERRAIN trial in July 2013, which enrolled approximately 370 men with mCRPC disease primarily in Europe; and

^¡

Continued patient enrollment in the STRIVE trial, which is enrolling approximately 400 men with either metastatic or non-metastatic disease primarily in the U.S.

•

Initiated the Phase 4 PLATO trial in November 2013 evaluating the efficacy and safety of continued treatment with enzalutamide plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone as compared to treatment with abiraterone acetate and prednisone alone in patients with pre-chemotherapy mCRPC whose disease has progressed following enzalutamide therapy. The purpose of the trial is to help determine the potential clinical benefit of continuing androgen receptor signaling inhibition with enzalutamide treatment and adding an additional therapy in patients with pre-chemotherapy mCRPC. The global randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is designed to enroll approximately 500 chemotherapy-naïve patients with mCRPC. The primary endpoint of the trial is progression-free survival.

Enzalutamide in Breast Cancer

•

Initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial in December 2013 evaluating enzalutamide in combination with exemestane in women with advanced breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) or progesterone receptor positive (PgR+) and human epidermal growth factor 2, or HER2 normal. The Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicenter trial plans to enroll approximately 240 patients in two parallel cohorts of 120 patients each. The first cohort will enroll patients who have not previously received hormonal treatment for advanced breast cancer. The second cohort will enroll patients who have previously progressed following one hormonal treatment for advanced disease. The primary endpoint of the trial is progression free survival in all patients and in the subset of patients whose tumor expresses the androgen receptor.

•

Continued patient enrollment in a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating enzalutamide as a single agent for the treatment of advanced, androgen receptor positive (AR+), triple-negative breast cancer, or TNBC. TNBC is a type of cancer which is not driven by the three most commonly targeted receptors in breast cancer: estrogen, progesterone and HER2. The Phase 2 open label, single-arm, multicenter trial plans to enroll approximately 80 patients with AR+, TNBC at sites in the United States, Canada and Europe. The primary endpoint of the trial is clinical benefit rate, defined as the proportion of patients with a best response of complete response, partial response or stable disease at > 16 weeks.

About XTANDI^® (enzalutamide) capsules

XTANDI was approved by the FDA on August 31, 2012 and is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have previously received docetaxel.

Important Safety Information for XTANDI from the Approved Prescribing Information

Contraindications- XTANDI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on its mechanism of action. XTANDI is not indicated for use in women. XTANDI is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.

Warnings and Precautions- In the randomized clinical trial, seizure occurred in 0.9% of patients on XTANDI. No patients on the placebo arm experienced seizure. Patients experiencing a seizure were permanently discontinued from therapy. All seizures resolved. Patients with a history of seizure, taking medications known to decrease the seizure threshold, or with other risk factors for seizure were excluded from the clinical trial. Because of the risk of seizure associated with XTANDI use, patients should be advised of the risk of engaging in any activity where sudden loss of consciousness could cause serious harm to themselves or others.

Adverse Reactions- The most common adverse drug reactions (³ 5%) reported in patients receiving XTANDI in the randomized clinical trial were asthenia/fatigue, back pain, diarrhea, arthralgia, hot flush, peripheral edema, musculoskeletal pain, headache, upper respiratory infection, muscular weakness, dizziness, insomnia, lower respiratory infection, spinal cord compression and cauda equina syndrome, hematuria, paresthesia, anxiety, and hypertension. Grade 1-4 neutropenia occurred in 15% of XTANDI patients (1% Grade 3-4) and in 6% on placebo (no Grade 3-4). Grade 1-4 elevations in bilirubin occurred in 3% of XTANDI patients and 2% on placebo. One percent of XTANDI patients compared to 0.3% on placebo died from infections or sepsis. Falls or injuries related to falls occurred in 4.6% of XTANDI patients vs 1.3% on placebo. Falls were not associated with loss of consciousness or seizure. Fall-related injuries were more severe in XTANDI patients and included non-pathologic fractures, joint injuries, and hematomas. Grade 1 or 2 hallucinations occurred in 1.6% of XTANDI patients and 0.3% on placebo, with the majority on opioid-containing medications at the time of the event.

Drug Interactions- Effect of Other Drugs on XTANDI: Administration of strong CYP2C8 inhibitors can increase the plasma exposure to XTANDI. Co-administration of XTANDI with strong CYP2C8 inhibitors should be avoided if possible. If co-administration of XTANDI cannot be avoided, reduce the dose of XTANDI. Co-administration of XTANDI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 inducers can alter the plasma exposure of XTANDI and should be avoided if possible.

Effect of XTANDI on Other Drugs: XTANDI is a strong CYP3A4 inducer and a moderate CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 inducer in humans. Avoid CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index, as XTANDI may decrease the plasma exposures of these drugs. If XTANDI is co-administered with warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate), conduct additional INR monitoring.
