CytRx (NASDAQ: CYTR) today presented interim results from its ongoing phase 1b/2 trail of aldoxorubicin in combination with ifosfamide/mesna in patients with advanced sarcomas, pushing shares higher in morning trade. At the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2016 Congress being held in Copenhagen, Denmark, CytRx reported that: over 25% of sarcoma patients achieved a partial response for the target lesion while 61% had prolonged stable disease; six patients with unresectable tumors achieved greater than 50% tumor shrinkage, allowing some of them to become eligible for surgery; and there were no signs of cardiotoxicity, including in patients that received approximately 10 times the cumulative maximum dose of doxorubicin. “The results to date demonstrate that aldoxorubicin combined with ifosfamide provides significant clinical benefit for sarcoma patients,” Sant Chawla, M.D., F.R.A.C.P., the trial’s principal investigator and director of the Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica, California, stated in the news release.
