The Company

CytoDyn is a biotechnology company focused on the development of new therapies for combating infection with immune deficiency viruses and other antibody applications. Its proprietary drug candidate PRO 140 is a humanized monoclonal antibody which has demonstrated the ability to block the entry of HIV virus into human white blood cells by binding to a cell surface protein known as CCR5. PRO 140 has completed Phase I and Phase IIa human clinical trials. CytoDyn intends to continue to develop PRO 140 as a therapeutic anti-viral agent in persons infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”). In addition, CytoDyn is seeking partners for the development of another proprietary monoclonal antibody for the treatment of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (“FIV”), a retroviral infection in cats. CytoDyn recently filed for a provisional patent for the use of these anti-FIV antibodies as well as selected small molecule antagonists and agonists for the treatment of FIV, and filed an application for registration of the trademark CytoFeline, intended for use in conjunction with veterinary preparations for the treatment of FIV.
