For our purposes, Tocilizumab is a non-starter since it's an IL-6 inhibitor only. Leronlimab targets IL-6 and the CCL5 (Rantes)/CCR5 pathway.

Some good outcomes on tocilizumab, but not randomized, as paragraph 2 of the Lancet paper notes: "a non-randomly selected subset of patients also received tocilizumab."
No question, the list of possible storm-treating drugs is narrowing to leronlimab (first with randomized trial results), tocilizumab and lenzilumab. And everyone understands we need storm-treating drugs.
