MediGene confirms forecast for revenue increase in 2008

MediGene AG said that sales of its prostate-cancer treatment, Eligard (leuprolide acetate), and proceeds from the sale of the European rights to its dermatology treatment, Oracea (doxycycline), will help the company significantly increase revenues in 2008. While operating costs will increase, the operating loss will narrow this year compared with 2007. Figures were not given.
