FDA OKs emergency IND for use of CytoDyn’s leronlimab in Covid-19

CytoDyn (OTCQB:CYDY) announces that two COVID-19 patients in New York City were treated with leronlimab under an emergency IND granted by the FDA.
The company says leronlimab inhibits (binds to) a protein on the surface of certain immune cells called Cysteine-Cysteine Chemokine Receptor 5 (CCR5) which plays a key role in modulating immune cell trafficking in sites of inflammation, so it may have potential to treat COVID-19.
