Executive Summary
CytRx, based in Los Angeles, California, has once again raised money to support the clinical advancement of its oncology pipeline by spinning off a non-core asset. It has sold the worldwide rights to its three molecular chaperone compounds to the privately held Danish company Orphazyme Aps, in a deal that could bring CytRx total payments of up to $120 million, assuming all milestones are met, in addition to royalties.
