Interesting that Barons mentioned it as 1st Antiviral - I could not see any other name

Antivirals
Leronlimab is an antiviral medication that was originally developed for HIV treatment. It’s a “humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody” that inhibits the ability for a virus to enter a cell. CytoDyn (ticker: CYDY) started testing Leronlimb on Covid-19 patients earlier in 2020.
What the company said Wednesday is that patients given shots of Leronlimb improved more than patients given placebos. The results were statistically significant.
Wednesday evening, small-cap biotech company CytoDyn announced it had asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to grant the company’s drug, Leronlimab, an emergency-use authorization to treat mild to moderate Covid-19 cases.
