This is the kind of homework that you need to do. Their SEC filings are in order...lol


• 3 Abstarcts for Cytrx at Asco
1) Treatment of HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma with aldoxorubicin
2) Longer term cardiac safety of aldoxorubicin
3) Efficacy and safety of adding the retinoid tamibarotene or placebo to paclitaxel/carboplatin for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
From 2013 Tamibarotene Trial.....

".......Results: 127 randomized patients were analyzed by intent-to-treat criteria (59 Pb/P/C; 68 T/P/C). Median PFS for Pb/P/C was 9.2 months (95% CI 6.8-12.7) and for T/P/C it was 5.7 months (95% CI 2.8-7.9), p = 0.088; HR 1.54 (0.85- ). At the time of analysis median OS for Pb/P/C was 13.8 months (9.7- ) and for T/P/C it was 13.7 months (8.9-15.8), p = 0.24; HR = 1.48 (0.68- ). The ORR for Pb/P/C was 27.0% and for T/P/C it was 19.1% (p = 0.28). Grades 3&4 adverse events were generally greater in the T/P/C cohort and included anemia (8.2 vs 3.2%); hypertrigyceridemia (17.8 vs 1.6%); thromboembolism (8.2 vs 1.6%); febrile neutropenia (4.2 vs 0%). Grades 3&4 neutropenia were similar in both arms (12.3 vs 12.7%). Conclusions: The potent retinoid tamibarotene does not improve the outcome in NSCLC patients receiving paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy and is associated with increased toxicity. Clinical trial information: NCT01337154."

Treatment for HIV associated Kaposi's Sarcoma....

".......Results: 6/9 patients had a maximum TIS score of 3, 2 patients had a TIS score of 2 and 1 patient had a TIS score of 1 upon study entry. Only 1/9 patients had a grade 4 adverse event (neutropenia at 100 mg/m2A). 6/9 patients had either pulmonary KS (3 patients) or disease-associated adenopathy (3 patients); 4/6 patients (2 in each category responded to therapy. 1 patient (TIS 3) progressed after an initial response to therapy. 6/9 patients exhibited significant reductions in KSHV genome copies/cell . Doxorubicin could be detected in all tumor biopsies (11-35 ng/mg tissue). A subset of patients had improvements in quality of life, and all patients exhibited either improvement or stability in immuneologic and virologic HIV treatment parameters. Conclusions: In an initial cohort of patients with HIV-associated KS with advanced disease at enrollment, Aldoxorubicin was well-tolerated and was therapeutically active, including reductions in both pathological and radiographic disease. Aldoxorubicin may offer a safe and efficacious alternative to current therapy for KS. Clinical trial information: NCT02029430."


Methods: Aldoxorubicin has been investigated in clinical trials since 2011. We reviewed data on the cardiotoxicity of

Cardiotoxicty......

aldoxorubicin from 3 phase I studies and 1 phase IIb study (142 patients). Both MUGA and echocardiograms were administered at baseline then periodically thereafter (usually every 2 months) until either study withdrawal or death. All patients had normal cardiac function at baseline with LVEF 45% in some studies and 50% in others. Prior exposure up to 225 mg/m2of doxorubicin was permitted. Results: The dose range of aldoxorubicin was 175-350 mg/m2 administered i.v every 3 weeks (equivalent to 130-260 mg/m2 doxorubicin per cycle). There were 126 evaluable patients who received 1-21 cycles of treatment. While 14% of patients demonstrated a = 10% drop in LVEF, 21% had a = increase in LVEF. No patient exhibited a decrease in LVEF that was below 50% of their institution's normal value. Where it was collected, 3.9% of patients exhibited QTc 500 msec. No patient had a clinically significant increase in troponin concentrations. Patients have received up to 5,439 mg/m2 of doxorubicin equivalents, or 12 times the peak cumulative dose of standard doxorubicin, without any evidence of cardiotoxcity. Conclusions: Despite administering cumulative doses of over 1,500 mg/m2 to the majority of the 126 evaluable patients in these clinical studies, aldoxorubicin has shown no evidence of cardiotoxicty, distinguishing it from doxorubicin itself.

Never take advice from someone that has lost so much they can't
afford to get out of the stock they are pumping.
Beware of the Pumpers!!!
