VANCOUVER, Washington, March 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytoDyn Inc. (OTC.QB: CYDY), (“CytoDyn” or the “Company"
, a late-stage biotechnology company developing leronlimab (PRO 140), a CCR5 antagonist with the potential for multiple therapeutic indications, announced today that the Company filed a modified IND and protocol for its Phase 2 clinical trial with leronlimab (PRO 140) as a therapy for patients who experience respiratory complications as a result of contracting Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The modification came at the behest of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in response to the Company’s filing of its IND and protocol for its Phase 2 clinical trial on March 9, 2020.

Patients enrolled in the trial are expected to have a treatment window of approximately 6 weeks.
Jacob Lalezari, M.D., CytoDyn’s Interim Chief Medical Officer commented: “We appreciate the FDA’s timely input on protocol design and hope to start the treatment study in the very near future.”
Nader Pourhassan, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of CytoDyn said: “We are pleased with the new trial design and are rapidly sending supplies of leronlimab to the clinics to begin patient treatment.”
With respect to the Company’s press release issued on March 12, 2020, management announces the following correction: Patient #1 had missed one treatment of carboplatin and will continue to be treated with carboplatin and leronlimab. Additional updates about this patient will be included in the next Company update on all cancer patients.
