CytoDyn’s purpose is to help enhance the lives of patients with life-threatening diseases. Our mission is to alleviate human suffering and improve patients' quality of life through innovation and collaboration. We are committed to performing our duties with respect, integrity, and a unified vision of serving humanity. 

CytoDyn is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. Leronlimab is being studied for oncology and inflammation, as well as other potential indications, including but not limited to HIV and MASH. Leronlimab is a competitive rather than allosteric inhibitor of the CCR5 receptor. We believe this mechanism of action, of binding competitively to the CCR5 receptor, differentiates leronlimab from all other CCR5 antagonists.

Leronlimab in Oncology

Developing CCR5 Technology in Cancer Indications

Based on the work of leading oncologists and researchers who played an instrumental role in identifying the role of CCR5 in cancer indications, we continue to explore the role of leronlimab in oncology and have obtained promising results from various pre-clinical studies.

Leronlimab and Inflammation

A Fully Humanized Monoclonal Antibody

With the advent of effective antiretroviral therapy, premature cardiovascular disease and other effects of immune activation and systemic inflammation have become the major cause of morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV. CytoDyn is following up on promising data on the activity of leronlimab to reduce inflammation as measured by reduced levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in a prior study. Inflammation has emerged as a key factor in a number of serious diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, obesity, diabetes, and a variety of other infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
