- LadRx Corporation (NASDAQ: LADX) develops and commercializes innovative oncology therapeutics and companion diagnostics targeting difficult-to-treat cancers. The company offers a pipeline of targeted drug candidates, including aldoxorubicin, a conjugated form of the anthracycline doxorubicin designed for improved efficacy and reduced cardiotoxicity in solid tumors such as soft tissue sarcomas, small cell lung cancer, and glioblastoma; and other antibody-drug conjugates and linker technologies for precision oncology applications. Its services encompass clinical-stage development programs, proprietary linker technology platforms for site-specific drug conjugation, and companion diagnostic assays to identify responsive patient populations; the company previously marketed products under brands like Biorubicin in select international markets. LadRx Corporation operates primarily in the United States and Europe, with clinical trials conducted globally, and maintains research collaborations with academic institutions and biotech partners. Founded in 1985 as Cytrx Corporation and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, the company underwent a significant rebranding to LadRx Corporation in 2024 to better reflect its focus on leadership in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technologies for cancer treatment; this name change coincided with strategic shifts including pipeline prioritization on ADC programs, divestiture of non-core assets, and enhanced partnerships for manufacturing scale-up announced in late 2024. In 2025, LadRx expanded its oncology portfolio through a key licensing agreement for a novel ADC payload technology and initiated Phase 2 trials for aldoxorubicin combinations in metastatic breast cancer, marking major advancements in its clinical development efforts.
