An experimental HIV drug that has been used to successfully treat COVID-19 patients is in its second phase of testing with the Food and Drug Administration and could potentially be approved for use in four weeks, its manufacturer says.
Leronlimab, made by the biotech company CytoDyn, was used to treat a handful of severely ill patients in New York City hospitals; a couple were able to be removed from their ventilators.

“Leronlimab”
Sounds like Lebron James’ long lost brother.
Trump hasn’t mentioned this drug so the media will hype it as sent from above.
who put the 4 segments of HIV on SARS-CoV-2.
Soros’ company
Soros is a clear and present danger and should be treated with extreme prejudice. What it take to get this bastard dealt with.
This drug is apparently similar to one by ATHX. Both stocks are hot.
This may be the more-expensive and not-Trump-endorsed drug that they’ve been looking for.

Or the name of a small Pakistani Army garrison town.
I bet this one is expensive!
FDA is fast tracking and it may be approved in 4 weeks.
Somehow a “handful” of patients is not “anecdotal”.
Goddess Aviva looks HOT!!
“This may be the more-expensive and not-Trump-endorsed drug that they’ve been looking for.”
That was my first thought too. Hopefully this will be good for the more serious cases and Trump Pills will keep patients from advancing to that stage.
Yeah. It will be marketed as Bunchamunni. < /s >
(Hydroxycholorquinine is just too cheaply and plentifully available at 1/1000 the price)
Its a monoclonal antibody, which means its a biologic drug...definitely not inexpensive.
Where’s the hydroxychloroquine? It’s cheap and been used for decades. My bad, no money in it.
Lol!
You really don’t need the </s>
What is the cost of this drug compared with HCQ which I’ve read is $20 or so per month?
How about comparative effectiveness?
For HIV....”price will be $60,000 per patient per year with a $45,000 floor price.”
Expect them to push this one big time!
Another “mab” drug biologic. Immunomodulator
