Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the
upcoming September 23, 2016 deadline to file a lead
plaintiff motion in the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of
investors who purchased or otherwise acquired CytRx Corporation
(“CytRx” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CYTR) securities between
November 18, 2014 and July 11, 2016, inclusive (the “Class
Period”). CytRx investors have until September 23,
2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period,
Defendants made materially false and misleading statements
regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance
policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading
statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the clinical hold
placed on the Phase 3 trial of aldoxorubicin for soft tissue
sarcomas ("STS") would prevent sufficient follow-up for patients
involved in the study; (2) that, as a result, nearly half of all
patients would be censored (excluded) from the progression free
survival evaluation; (3) that, in response, CytRx would likely
conduct a second analysis; (4) that, as such, the results of the
trial could be materially affected and/or approval of aldoxorubicin
for STS could be delayed; and (5) that, as a result of the
foregoing, Defendants' statements about CytRx's business,
operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked
a reasonable basis.
On July 11, 2016, CytRx released the results of its Phase 3
clinical trial of aldoxorubicin, a product candidate designed for
patients with soft tissues sarcomas (“STS”), which did not show
noticeable improvement over other widely used cancer drugs.
Additionally, the Company announced that nearly half of the
patients in the Phase 3 trial were excluded from the data due to a
partial clinical hold back in November 2014. Following this
disclosure, shares of CytRx were down over 63% during intraday
trading on July 12, 2016.
If you purchased CytRx shares, you may move the Court no later
than September 23, 2016 to request appointment as
lead plaintiff. To be a member of the class you need not take any
action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take
no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish
to learn more about this action, or if you have any
questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests
with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith,
