Dr. Fauci warns new variant could pose threat to antibody drugs
I hesitate to write this because it is somewhat morbid, but I assume that could be yet another advantage for Leronlimab due to its different MOA.

A mutated and more infectious coronavirus strain first identified in South Africa is “disturbing” and could pose a threat to antibody treatments that are used to prevent people from falling seriously ill from Covid-19, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday.
So far, health experts have said there’s no evidence the mutations alter the effectiveness of current vaccines. However, there’s some concern that the variant found in South Africa, known as 501Y.V2, might be more resistant to monoclonal antibodies, which have helped some people fight the virus when administered early on in their infection.
