Aldoxorubicin

Aldoxorubicin (INNO-206) is a tumor-targeted doxorubicin conjugate in development by CytRx. Specifically, it is the (6-maleimidocaproyl) hydrazone of doxorubicin. Essentially, this chemical name describes doxorubicin attached to an acid sensitive linker (N-ε-maleimidocaproic acid hydrazide, or EMCH).
The proposed mechanism of action is as follows:
Clinical trials.
Five phase I trials for safety characterization have been completed. Several phase II and III trials are underway.
Phase II.
As of January 2017, there are 6 phase II clinical trials in progress:
Phase III.
A phase III trial for patients with relapsed soft tissue sarcoma comparing aldoxorubicin with several other chemotherapeutics is expected to complete in 2018. In November 2016, CytRx announced that preliminary results had been positive.
