B38 blocks SARS-CoV-2 from binding to the ACE2 receptor (light pink) of a human cell, ACE2 is what the virus uses to infect cells. One advantage of this class of therapeutics is that the timelines for their development, testing, and approval are typically shorter than those for drugs made of chemical compounds, called small molecules.

In gene therapy, re-engineered adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have been produced using various methods such as machine learning or directed evolution. These re-engineered vectors now have better tropism and require smaller doses, potentially avoiding the toxicities associated with the adverse events in previous therapies.
