About CytRx Corporation
CytRx Corporation (NASDAQ: CYTR) is a biopharmaceutical company
with expertise in discovering and developing new therapeutics to
treat patients with cancer. CytRx's most advanced drug conjugate,
aldoxorubicin, is an improved version of the widely used
anti-cancer drug doxorubicin and has been out-licensed to NantCell,
Inc.
About Centurion BioPharma Corporation
CytRx's wholly owned subsidiary, Centurion BioPharma
Corporation, is focused on the development of personalized medicine
that will transform solid tumor treatment. This transformational
strategy combines a portfolio of novel, anti-cancer drug candidates
that employ LADR™ (Linker Activated Drug Release) technology, a
discovery engine designed to leverage Centurion's expertise in
albumin biology and linker technology for the development of a new
class of breakthrough anti-cancer therapies with a unique albumin
companion diagnostic (ACDx) that can help identify patients who are
most likely to benefit from treatment with the LADR™-derived
therapies. A critical element of the LADR™ platform is its ability
to bind anti-cancer molecules to circulating albumin, the most
ubiquitous protein in human blood plasma, and then to release the
highly potent cytotoxic payload at the tumor site. This technology
allows for the delivery of higher doses of drug directly to the
tumor, while avoiding much of the off-target toxicity observed with
the parent molecules.
