Yup we still need to do another trail which would be bigger. This is why a partnership for NASH seems like the best bet.
As for BTD we still have time to hear about it. I thought the bar was pretty low for BTD and are results looked pretty good compared to the competition. I know it was a small sample size but idk figured BTD was a given. Guess we will have to wait.

???? What Leronlimab Does
• Target: CCR5 receptor (the same receptor people with the CCR5Δ32 mutation lack — like the “Berlin” and “London” patients who were cured after stem cell transplants).
• Effect: By binding CCR5, leronlimab blocks HIV entry into CD4 cells.
• Trial Data:
• In combination therapy trials, ~81% of patients achieved viral loads <50 copies/mL (suppression, not cure).
• As monotherapy, some patients maintained suppression for long stretches (months), but not universally.
⸻
???? Why It Might Be Seen as a “Cure”
• In theory, if you completely block CCR5 on all relevant cells, HIV can’t infect new cells.
• If existing infected reservoirs naturally decay without replenishment, the virus could eventually vanish.
• That’s exactly what happened in the Berlin/London patients — except through stem cell transplants with CCR5Δ32 donors, not a drug.
⸻
???? Why It Hasn’t Been Called a Cure (Yet)
1. HIV Reservoirs Persist
Leronlimab blocks new infection, but it doesn’t flush latent virus from cells. Once treatment stops, those reservoirs can reignite infection.
2. CCR5-Independent Pathways
Some HIV strains use CXCR4 or dual-tropism (CCR5 + CXCR4). Leronlimab won’t stop those.
3. Clinical Conservatism
Researchers avoid using the word “cure” unless patients remain off all therapy with no viral rebound for years. Leronlimab hasn’t shown that in trials.
⸻
???? So Could It Alone Cure HIV?
• In select cases (if someone’s virus is purely CCR5-tropic and their reservoirs naturally decay): maybe.
• But in the general population, it’s unlikely as a monotherapy cure. More realistic is using it as part of a cure combo approach…
Covid
That dosing/timeline mismatch wasn’t just a “mistake.” It sabotaged the trial.
• Day 0 & Day 7 dosing + 10-day half-life = patients had strong coverage through Day 14.
• But the FDA chose Day 28 as the evaluation point……. after drug levels had waned.
• That’s not science. That’s setting the bar where the drug was least likely to shine.
Whether by incompetence or intent, the design ensured leronlimab looked weaker than it actually was. That’s sabotage …..and the community knows it.
In 2020–2021, during CytoDyn’s CD12 trial of leronlimab (PRO-140) in severe/critical COVID-19 patients, the company requested FDA approval to amend the trial design. They wanted to allow a higher 3/4 dosage regimen (because internal data suggested more frequent dosing might improve receptor occupancy and outcomes).
• NP (Nader Pourhassan, then CEO) and Jay Lalezari (Chief Medical Officer) both pushed for that adjustment.
• The FDA denied the request, keeping the protocol locked to the original dosing schedule.
• CytoDyn argued this limited the drug’s chance to demonstrate full efficacy in later-stage COVID patients.
• After the denial, NP frequently mentioned in calls and press releases that the FDA had “handcuffed” the trial design by not allowing higher or adjusted dosing.
So yes….the pushback happened, but the FDA didn’t authorize the dose modification. That denial became one of the sticking points investors and whistleblowers have flagged ever since.
