Imagine if Covid-19 was just a bad cold. 176,000 Americans might not have died. We would not have destroyed the economy. Twenty million Americans would not have lost their jobs or shut their businesses. Debt and deficits would not be exploding - putting generations at risk. Covid-19 needs to go away but a vaccine might not be the answer to our emergency. We need an effective treatment now, one that reduces Covid-19 to a common cold. CytoDyn’s molecule, Leronlimab, does just that.
Vaccines, which are all the talk, might not be around the corner. There is still no HIV/AIDS vaccine after huge sums of money spent by the government. Now the government is spending huge sums of money again in search of a Covid vaccine. One might eventually emerge but when it does, production has to be scaled up because most people will need to take it...repeatedly. And the vaccine maker will somehow need to account for the fact that the virus mutates. That all represents a very long and complicated process that ultimately, may or may not work.
Leronlimab is a monoclonal antibody knocking on the door of an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA. President Trump has scheduled a press conference today to announce a “breakthrough” therapy. It has to be Leronlimab whose owner, CytoDyn (CYDY) just presented favorable data from a double blinded placebo controlled study. It is the only drug to have done so. The drug showed efficacy and safety in a difficult population to address: mild to moderate patients. So while Gilead’s (GILD) Remdesivir (the only other drug with an EUA for Covid), remains controversial, there’s an opening for something better and Leronlimab certainly is that.
Leronlimab has the coolest sounding function: it calms the cytokine storm. As you probably know, the Covid-19 virus is not as bad for you as your body’s immune response to it. It sets off a reaction that gets out of control, especially in the lungs. The virus invades the body infecting, injuring and killing cells. This causes infection. The injured cells scream “help” by releasing cytokines. Cytokines summon chemokines which rush to fight the infection but this causes more infection in a vicious cycle. In severe Covid disease, a “cytokine storm” takes place in the lungs causing acute respiratory distress syndrome. Leronlimab calms the cytokine storm and it does so in three days. It has proven to be a life saver. If approved, it will also save the economy.
