Synta Pharmaceuticals announced on February 26, 2009 the suspension of all clinical trials involving Elesclomol due to safety concerns.

The study was halted when it was determined that addition of elesclomol to paclitaxel didn't significantly increase progression-free survival.Studies in preclinical models suggested that Elesclomol may be effective in Ewing sarcoma cells with elevated levels of cellular oxidative stress.
