About CytoDyn

CytoDyn is a late-stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications using Leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the CCR5 receptor. CCR5 plays a critical role in HIV’s ability to invade and infect healthy T cells, and appears to be implicated in tumor metastasis and immune-mediated diseases such as NASH.

CytoDyn successfully completed a pivotal phase 3 study of leronlimab in combination with standard antiretroviral therapies in HIV-infected patients who were highly experienced with limited treatment options. CytoDyn has been working diligently to re-submit its BLA for this HIV combination therapy since CytoDyn received a refusal of submission in July 2020. In July 2021, CytoDyn announced it had submitted a dose adjustment report to the FDA, and in November 2021 re-submitted the non-clinical report and manufacturing stages of the BLA, both integral steps in the BLA re-submission process, which is expected to end by the end of the first quarter of the calendar year 2022 will be completed. CytoDyn has also completed a Phase 2b / 3 study of leronlimab as a once-weekly monotherapy for HIV-infected patients. CytoDyn plans to initiate a registration-oriented study for the indication leronlimab monotherapy. If successful, it could support approval to extend the label. Clinical results to date from two studies have shown that leronlimab can maintain a suppressed viral load in a subpopulation of R5 HIV patients who have chosen to switch from daily pill therapy to a once-weekly subcutaneous dose of leronlimab. Several patients in the Phase 2b extension arm of leronlimab remained virally suppressed for nearly 7 years, and many patients in our Phase 2b / 3 study were on monotherapy for two and four years with suppressed viral load.

The story goes on

CytoDyn recently completed a phase 2 clinical study with leronlimab in mTNBC and a phase 2 basket study in solid tumor cancers (22 different cancer indications). A phase 2 study of post-acute sequelae of SARS COV-2, also known as COVID-19 long-distance runner, and a phase 2 clinical study for NASH are ongoing. CytoDyn has already completed a phase 2 and phase 3 study for mild to moderate or severe to severe COVID-19 patients in whom CytoDyn did not meet its primary or secondary endpoints, with the exception of the secondary endpoint in the critical one Study sick subpopulation.
