Today's news is note worthy since CYTR sold the drug rights to ANX which recently changed its name to MSTX, and they just won European orphan drug status. CYTR gets royalties and MSTX shares for reaching certain goals!!!! Need to go back about 12 months to the 8-Ks to get the details. MSTX has made this their lead drug!! ANX-188 IIRC is the name of the drug. Correction it is now MST-188!!!
