docket: 230042.429
USPC new status: patented case date of new status: 04/29/2026
The new status reflects the last status in public patent application information retrieval (pair) as of 11:59 p.m. et on the date noted above. The patent application 17/631,161, titled "Methods for treating metastatic colon cancer with leronlimab," has officially transitioned from "pending" to "patented" as of April 29, 2026.
This change signifies that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has concluded its examination, found the claims to be novel and non-obvious, and granted the legal rights for the described treatment methods to CytoDyn Inc..
Key Details of the Change: New Legal Status: Patented (formerly Pending). Effective Date: April 29, 2026.
Scope of Protection: The patent covers specific methods of using leronlimab (a humanized CCR5-targeting monoclonal antibody) to treat patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).Clinical Context: This grant coincides with recent clinical progress. In April 2026, CytoDyn reported early Phase 2 data showing that leronlimab, in combination with TAS-102 and bevacizumab, demonstrated biomarker activity and potential to modulate the tumor microenvironment in heavily pretreated mCRC patients.
Significance of the Grant By moving to "patented" status, the company now holds enforceable rights to prevent others from using, selling, or importing the specific therapeutic methods claimed in the application for the duration of the patent's term. This is a critical milestone for the commercial protection of the CLOVER clinical trial regimen (leronlimab + oral chemotherapy + VEGF inhibitor).
