CUSIP NO. 232828 201                                                 Page 3 of 4


ITEM 1.       SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This statement ("Statement") is filed with respect to the common stock,
$0.001 par value per share, of CytRx Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("CytRx" or the "Issuer"). The Issuer's principal executive offices are located
at 11726 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 650, Los Angeles, California 90049.

ITEM 2.  IDENTIFY AND BACKGROUND.

         Items (a) - (c), (f). This statement is being filed by Steven A.
Kriegsman, and constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the original Schedule 13D filed by
Mr. Kriegsman on October 10, 2002 with respect to his ownership of common stock
of CytRx.

         Mr. Kriegsman is a citizen of the United States with his principal
business address at 11726 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 650, Los Angeles,
California 90049. Mr. Kriegsman's principal occupation and employment is as
Chief Executive Officer of CytRx.

         Items (d) - (e). During the last five years, Mr. Kriegsman has not been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (which for purposes of this Statement does
not include traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and has not been a party
to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction as a result of which he was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or
a final order enjoining future violations of or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any violation
with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         This Statement is being filed to correct and update the information
regarding Mr. Kriegsman's beneficial ownership of common stock of CytRx as
reported in his original Schedule 13D. The original Schedule 13D inadvertently
overstated Mr. Kriegsman's ownership of common stock, because it failed to
account for gifts by him of shares of Global Genomics Capital, Inc. ("GNC") made
to unrelated third parties prior to February 11, 2002, the date of the event
which required the filing of his original Schedule 13D. The gifts were of
120,000 shares of GNC common stock. Given the exchange ratio of .765967 share of
CytRx common stock for each GNC share applicable to the merger (the "Merger") of
GNC with CytRx as described in his original Schedule 13D, accordingly, Mr.
Kriegsman's ownership of common stock of CytRx as reported in his original
Schedule 13D was overstated by 91,916 shares.

         The Merger was completed effective July 19, 2002. As of July 19, 2002,
Mr. Kriegsman beneficially owned 4,021,100 shares of common stock of CytRx,
including 459,352 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase common
stock held by him. At the time of the original filing of his Schedule 13D on
October 10, 2002, the shares of the common stock beneficially owned by Mr.
Kriegsman constituted approximately 18.3% of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of CytRx based upon a reported 21,460,110 shares of common stock
outstanding as of August 13, 2002.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

         Mr. Kriegsman currently intends to hold the shares of common stock
reported herein, including shares that may be acquired pursuant to the exercise
of warrants, for investment purposes.

         Items (a) - (j).  Not applicable.

ITEM 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         As of February 10, 2004, the date of filing of this Statement, Mr.
Kriegsman owns beneficially 4,271,100 shares of common stock of CytRx, including
the shares originally reported by Mr. Kriegsman as described in Item 3 above and
250,000 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding and currently exercisable
stock options held by him. The stock options, which were granted to Mr.
Kriegsman by CytRx on June 20, 2003 as bonus compensation for his service as
Chief Executive Officer of CytRx, are exercisable at a price of $2.47 per share.
The stock options will expire on June 19, 2113, unless sooner exercised.

         The 4,271,100 shares of common stock of CytRx owned beneficially by Mr.
Kriegsman represent approximately 12.3% of the common stock of CytRx that would
be issued and outstanding, assuming the exercise in full of Mr. Kriegsman's
currently exercisable warrants and stock options, based upon a reported
33,705,613 shares of common stock of CytRx issued and outstanding as of November
10, 2003. Mr. Kriegsman has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to
all of the shares of common stock owned by him.

         Items (c) - (e).  Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDING OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
         SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

         Not applicable.
