Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 6, 2010, CytRx Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) and Oncotherapeutics (“Oncotherapeutics”) entered into an Agreement for Clinical Services. Pursuant to the agreement, Oncotherapeutics will provide contract research services to us in connection with our Phase 2b clinical trial of our oncology drug candidate tamibarotene in combination with chemotherapeutical agents for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
The services to be rendered by Oncotherapeutics relate primarily to the design, management and implementation our Phase 2b clinical trial. We estimate that the total cost for these services, including for pass-through expenses paid by Oncotherapeutics on behalf of us, will be approximately $6.9 million, but the actual cost of these services will depend upon the type and quantity of such services required by the Company.
We may terminate the agreement at any time upon 30 days notice to Oncotherapeutics, in which case we will be obligated to pay for all of Oncotherapeutics’ services rendered through this termination date and in winding down or closing out its work.
