Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Medivation (NASDAQ: MDVN) price target of $95.00.

Analyst, Biren Amin, said, "Interest has increased in MDVN's PREVAIL study in 1,680 chemo-naive CRPC patients after Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) release of the '302 data in a similar setting. After JEF-hosted investor meetings w/ mgmt, we learned a critical difference in the design of the PREVAIL Phase III trial which increases its odds of success/minimizes risk of postprogression contamination. MDVN shares may appreciate after JNJ '302 data at ASCO and into PREVAIL interim data in Q2 '13."
