Yes, collaborating with big money pharma again. In the meantime Cytodyn (CYDY) has done a trial on the mild to mid group and have just completed a blinded study on severe to critical patients (390) with results to be posted mid-January. No collaboration there even though it has possibly the best results of any therapeutic thus far -- but having to wait for numbers. They have also now started a

  And when they realize that CCR5 is over expressed in the brains of stroke victims, maybe they'll get still another trial opportunity with leronlimab, which is a CCR5 agonist.

  Hi Tdon.  Just wanted to clarify Leronlimab is a CCR5 "antagonist", which is probably what you meant.  Controlling the exaggerated immune response or cytokine/chemokine storm will play a major role in treating the severely ill/hospitalized.  Theralase has a realistic opportunity to reduce hospitalizations in the future with its focus on an alternative/better

Great discussion guys, Merry Christmas! I really hope that TLT can figure out how to roll out a Covid therapeutic that is simple to use in the clinics. We know 1433 is safe. We also know it should be effective. I also believe it can be used as a preventative? And it shouldn't matter too much what Covid 19 morphs into?

The potential for 1433 being applied to Covid and other viruses is very exciting. My major concerns are funding, research and clinical trials moving at glacier speed. Any kind of good news for this application would be icing on the cake. Let's hope 2021 brings the goods!

Charlierock. I agree that 1433 being applied to Covid and other viruses is a very exciting notion. Now my understanding, based on what I read in the pr and newspaper article, was that they were about to begin an animal trial with 1433 being applied to the  the unsuspecting animals and hopefully not killing any of them. Supposing the animals are for the most part cured - dosing being the most

I think it's the mother-in-law of one of the execs of CYDY is a stroke victim so they are very aware of it and it in their sights some place.
