Note 1. Organization CytoDyn Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002, under the name RexRay Corporation and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the clinical development of innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on its product candidate, leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (“CCR5”). The Company is currently working to further establish leronlimab via clinical development of its effects on chronic inflammation, oncology, and a number of other potential exploratory indications. Historically, the Company has investigated leronlimab as a viral entry inhibitor for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”), believed to competitively bind to the N-terminus and second extracellular loop of the CCR5 receptor. For immunology, the CCR5 receptor is believed to be implicated in immune-mediated illnesses such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”), replacement for the term nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). Leronlimab is being or has been studied in MASH, solid tumors in oncology, COVID-19, Long-COVID, and HIV indications where CCR5 is believed to play an integral role in the pathogenesis of disease. |
