CytoDyn Inc.’s Vyrologix™ (leronlimab-Vyrologix) shows impressive results in critically ill COVID-19 patients

CytoDyn Inc., a late-stage biotechnology company developing CCR5 inhibiting drug leronlimab- Vyrologix, showed impressive results in improving the immune function of critically ill COVID-19 patients in the United States.
