VANCOUVER, Washington, March 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytoDyn Inc. (OTC.QB:CYDY) announces the formation of a Scientific Advisory Board to advise on the development of PRO 140 in certain immunologic disorders. PRO 140 is a humanized monoclonal antibody under development by CytoDyn that targets the CCR5 receptor, a molecule that modulates the immune cell trafficking crucial for the development of certain inflammatory conditions.
“It is a privilege to assemble this group of prominent authorities in immunology, oncology and drug development to advise on the development of PRO 140 in immunologic disorders,” said Denis R. Burger, Ph.D., Chief Science Officer of CytoDyn. “PRO 140 has potential applications in cancer progression, transplantation rejection, autoimmunity, and chronic inflammation. Based on the strength of preclinical and clinical study data combined with human safety and efficacy data from our HIV program, we believe PRO 140 warrants further development across a range of immunological indications.”
Members of CytoDyn’s Scientific Advisory Board are as follows:
David Hinrichs, Ph.D., is a research scientist at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Portland, Oregon and Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). He received a B.S. in Biology from Mankato State and Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Arizona.
Patrick Iversen, Ph.D., is adjunct professor at Oregon State University and scientific founder and Chief Science Officer of LS Pharma, LLC., a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel RNA-based therapeutics. Dr. Iversen earned a B.S. degree from Westminster College and Ph.D. in Biochemical Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University of Utah School of Medicine.
Daniel Lindner, MD, Ph.D., is Director of Animal Tumor Core of the Taussig Cancer Institute at the Cleveland Clinic. He received a BS in biology from MIT, medical degree from Georgetown University, Ph.D. in microbiology from the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Richard Pestell, MD, Ph.D., MB.BS, FRACP, FACP, FAAAS, MBA, FRS of Medicine, is President of the Pennsylvania Cancer and Regenerative Medicine Research Center and Distinguished Professor at the Baruch S. Blumberg Institute. He received a medical degree from the University of Western Australia, Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne and conducted postdoctoral research at the Harvard School of Medicine and Massachusetts General Hospital. He received his executive MBA from New York University Stern School of Business.
David L. Porter, MD, is the Jodi Fisher Horowitz Professor of Leukemia Care Excellence and Director of Cell Therapy and Transplantation at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his medical degree from Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
Jonah Sacha, Ph.D., is associate professor at OHSU and has appointments in the Vaccine & Gene Therapy Institute and Oregon National Primate Research Center. He received his Ph.D. in Medical Microbiology & Immunology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and B.S. in Biology from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Quote:PRO 140 extended the life of treated mice and decreased tumor growth compared to control mice by greater than 50%, which was statistically significant. These results were dose dependent and were repeated in separate experiments. Current ongoing preclinical studies are defining the mechanisms involved in the anti-tumor efficacy of PRO 140.
