CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002 under the name RexRay Corporation (its previous name) and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company 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. CCR5 appears to play a key role in the ability of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”) to enter and infect healthy T-cells. The CCR5 receptor also appears to be implicated in human metastasis and in immune-mediated illnesses such as graft-vs-host disease (“GvHD”) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (“NASH”). The Company’s lead product candidate, leronlimab, belongs to a class of HIV therapies known as entry inhibitors. These therapies block HIV from entering into and infecting certain cells.
The Company has developed a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to address unmet medical needs in the areas of HIV and GvHD. In addition, we are expanding the clinical focus with leronlimab to include the evaluation in certain cancer and immunological indications where CCR antagonism has shown initial promise.
