8:38AM CytRx reports FY12 results; beats on top and bottom line; outlines goals and milestones for 2013 (CYTR) 2.46 : Reports FY12 net loss of $0.78 per share vs ($1.11) CIQ est; revs of $100K vs $30K CIQ est. Co reports cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $38.3 mln as of December 31, 2012, which included $21.5 mln of net proceeds from an underwritten public offering completed on October 23, 2012.

Goals for 2013:
Co expects in 2013 to report results from clinical trials with aldoxorubicin as follows:

Second Quarter -- Phase 1b clinical trial results from 24 patients with advanced solid tumors to determine the maximum tolerated dose of a combination of aldoxorubicin and doxorubicin.
The clinical trial will continue with the combination aldoxorubicin and doxorubicin administered at the MTD to an expansion group of patients with chondrosarcomas or chordomas to determine safety and preliminary efficacy in these normally chemotherapy-insensitive malignancies.
The purpose of this trial is to extend the co's patent portfolio and potentially increase market penetration with aldoxorubicin for the treatment of patients with solid tumors.
First Half -- Pharmacokinetic results from an open-label, single-center Phase 1b clinical trial in patient with metastatic solid tumors.
Second Half -- Progression-free survival results from an international Phase 2b clinical trial in 105 patients comparing aldoxorubicin with doxorubicin as a first-line treatment for soft tissue sarcoma.

8:34AM CytRx receives recommendation from Data Safety Monitoring Committee to complete international Phase 2b trial with Aldoxorubicin as first-line treatment for soft tissue sarcoma (CYTR) 2.68 : No significant safety issues found with delivery of doxorubicin at 3.5 times its standard dose with aldoxorubicin, the first clinical-stage oncology candidate formed with CytRx's proprietary linker technology platform This Phase 2b trial allows for a head-to-head clinical comparison of the commonly used chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin with aldoxorubicin, CytRx's tumor-targeting doxorubicin conjugate. Doxorubicin is dose-limited at a level below its maximum anti-tumor capabilities due to toxicity, including cardiotoxicity. Data from the Phase 2b trial is expected in the second half of 2013.
