LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CytRx Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTR), a biopharmaceutical research and development company specializing in oncology, today announced compelling preliminary data from its global Phase 2b soft tissue sarcoma trial indicating that patients treated with aldoxorubicin had a significantly higher OVERALL RESPONSE RATE (ORR) of 22% as compared to those administered the widely used chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin with an ORR of 0%. Additionally, aldoxorubicin compared with doxorubicin produced statistically significant improvement in survival rates in animals with a human model of glioblastoma (brain tumor), and showed an improved and narrow distribution of aldoxorubicin within the human body in a pharmacokinetics trial. Results from the glioblastoma trial and pharmacokinetics trial were discussed in poster presentations at the 2013 European Cancer Congress (ECCO/ESMO/ESTRO) being held in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
