CytRx (CYTR) Sarcoma Trial Positive Data, FormFactor (FORM) Raised Guidance, Upgraded

A sarcoma is a type of cancer that begins in any part of the body, such as the bone or soft tissue. Soft tissue sarcomas can develop from soft tissues like fat, muscle, nerves, fibrous tissues, blood vessels, or deep skin tissues. They can arise anywhere in the body at any age.

The American Cancer Society's estimates for soft tissue sarcomas in the United States for 2014 are (these statistics include both adults and children):

* About 12,020 new soft tissue sarcomas will be diagnosed (6,550 cases in males and 5,470 cases in females).

* 4,740 Americans (2,550 males and 2,190 females) are expected to die of soft tissue sarcomas.

CytRx Corporation (CYTR) reported updated results from its ongoing multicenter, randomized, open-label global Phase 2b clinical trial investigating the efficacy and safety of aldoxorubicin compared with doxorubicin as first-line therapy in subjects with metastatic, locally advanced or unresectable soft tissue sarcomas.

The updated trial results demonstrated that aldoxorubicin significantly increases progression-free survival (PFS), PFS at 6 months, overall response rate (ORR) and tumor shrinkage, compared to doxorubicin, the current standard-of-care, as a first-line treatment in patients with soft tissue sarcomas

CYTR holds the exclusive worldwide rights to aldoxorubicin.

CYTR is a biopharmaceutical research and development company specializing in oncology.
