VANCOUVER, Washington, Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: CYDY) ("CytoDyn" or the "Company), a clinical-stage oncology company advancing leronlimab, a first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor with therapeutic potential across multiple indications, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), today announced that it has closed on a financing of $16.5 million in gross proceeds, with Paulson Investment Company acting as placement agent.
The demand from investors reflects confidence in CytoDyn’s clinical progress and its versatile development strategy as the Company continues to advance leronlimab across its oncology programs.
“The successful execution of this financing demonstrates continued and strong investor support for our clinical strategy and the long-term potential of leronlimab,” said Robert E. Hoffman, CFO of CytoDyn. “We are encouraged by the continued commitment of our existing investors, as well as the strong engagement from new investors, which we believe underscores growing interest in leronlimab’s potential in immuno-oncology. With this financing expected to fund operations into the second half of 2027, we are well positioned to focus on clinical execution and the pursuit of strategic priorities that we believe will create meaningful long-term value for our shareholders.”
Net proceeds from the financing are expected to be used primarily to advance CytoDyn’s clinical development programs, including ongoing and planned clinical trials, regulatory activities and data analysis. The Company may also use a portion of the proceeds to support manufacturing readiness, regulatory and compliance infrastructure, and general working capital.
