About sunRIZE The Phase 3 sunRIZE study (RZ358-301) was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ersodetug in patients with congenital hyperinsulinism (HI), ages 3 months to 45 years old, who were experiencing continued hypoglycemia on currently available standard of care (SOC). Eligible participants were randomized to one of three treatment arms to receive either ersodetug (5 or 10 mg/kg) or matched placebo-control as add on to existing SOC. Study drug was administered every other week during an initial loading phase, and then every 4 weeks during the 6-month controlled pivotal treatment period. Following the pivotal treatment phase of the study, participants could roll-over into an optional open-label extension phase to continue to receive ersodetug. The study enrolled 63 participants in more than a dozen countries around the world, inclusive of U.S. patients. The primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints in the study were the change from baseline in the average number of hypoglycemia events per week and the average percent time in hypoglycemia, respectively, over six months of treatment. In December 2025, the Company announced that the sunRIZE study did not meet its primary or key secondary endpoints. Although statistical significance for the secondary endpoint (% time in hypoglycemia by continuous glucose monitoring [“CGM”]) was not achieved at the Week 24/End of Treatment evaluation window, larger and often nominally statistically significant glycemic improvements compared to placebo were consistently observed throughout the maintenance dosing phase of the study, across time and numerous pre-specified and post-hoc CGM-based endpoints. As a next step for the program, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) encouraged Rezolute to submit comprehensive analysis datasets and summary outcomes for the agency’s independent evaluation. About Ersodetug Ersodetug is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds allosterically to the insulin receptor to decrease receptor over-activation by insulin and related substances (such as IGF-2) in the setting of hyperinsulinism (HI), thereby improving hypoglycemia. Because ersodetug acts downstream from glucose absorption, gastrointestinal incretin hormones, and pancreatic insulin secretion, it has the potential to be universally effective at treating refractory hypoglycemia due to a congenital or any acquired form of HI, including tumor HI (insulinoma, NICTH) or hypoglycemia as a complication of a variety of bariatric or non-bariatric gastrointestinal surgeries. About Rezolute, Inc. Rezolute is a late-stage ultra-rare disease company focused on treating refractory hypoglycemia caused by a congenital or any acquired form of hyperinsulinism (HI). The Company’s antibody therapy, ersodetug, has been studied in clinical trials and used in real-world cases for the treatment of refractory hypoglycemia due to a variety of causes of HI.

Study now 50% enrolled 6 of 8 participants have already met the responder criterion for the study’s primary endpoint Topline results for the fully enrolled open-label study are expected in the second half of 2026 REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rezolute, Inc. (Nasdaq: RZLT) (“Rezolute” or the “Company”), a late-stage ultra-rare disease company focused on treating refractory hypoglycemia caused by a congenital or any acquired form of hyperinsulinism (HI), today provided an interim update on its ongoing open-label Phase 3 study (upLIFT) of ersodetug in tumor HI. With 8 participants enrolled in upLIFT to date, comprising both insulinoma and non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia, the Company is midway through enrollment of the planned study sample size of 16 participants. Of the 8 participants enrolled, 6 have already met the responder criterion for the study’s primary endpoint, which is the number of participants achieving at least a 50 percent reduction from baseline in intravenous glucose requirements (glucose infusion rate; GIR) within the 8-week pivotal treatment phase. Each of these 6 participants also achieved a complete discontinuation of intravenous glucose requirements with the administration of ersodetug. One of the 8 enrolled participants withdrew study consent and discontinued ersodetug and all other non-palliative therapies prior to completion of the pivotal treatment phase. This patient had Stage 4 metastatic colon cancer and a poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG 4). The participant elected to be discharged from the hospital to receive hospice care at home, where they died one week later due to cancer progression. The reduction and eventual discontinuation of intravenous glucose were undertaken in the setting of hospice transition, so the participant is being counted as a non-responder for purposes of assessing the primary endpoint. The 8th participant was recently enrolled and is still dosing in the pivotal phase of the study. All participants that have completed the 8-week pivotal treatment period have elected to continue into the open-label extension, with a cumulative treatment duration of up to 6 months. Ersodetug has been well-tolerated in the pivotal and extension phases of the study, with no drug-related adverse events or other safety findings reported to date. "We are very excited by the interim observations from the upLIFT study as they largely mirror what we previously observed and reported from an initial case series of patients from our expanded access program for compassionate use," said Dr. Brian Roberts, Chief Medical Officer of Rezolute. "These results reveal the clinically impactful hypoglycemia-correcting activity of ersodetug in an unbiased GIR assessment in patients with HI caused by varying tumor types. This further highlights the aberrant outcome from the recently completed randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 sunRIZE study in pediatric congenital HI, where we believe that self-monitored glycemic measures were confounded by divergent caretaker behaviors stemming from functional unblinding to treatment status by real-time glucose monitoring. Importantly, these findings continue to support the potential for ersodetug to be a universal treatment option for patients with serious and refractory hypoglycemia caused by congenital and a variety of acquired forms of hyperinsulinism, including tumor HI and following bariatric and non-bariatric gastrointestinal surgeries. We look forward to announcing topline results of the fully enrolled upLIFT study in tumor HI in the second half of 2026, as well as continuing our engagement with FDA to determine the path forward for the congenital HI indication.” About upLIFT The Phase 3 registrational study is a single-arm, open-label, pivotal trial in approximately 16 participants with insulinoma or non-islet cell tumors who have uncontrolled hypoglycemia caused by tumor hyperinsulinism (HI). Eligible participants requiring continuous intravenous (IV) glucose will receive ersodetug 9 mg/kg per week for 8 weeks, as an add-on to standard of care. Following this 8-week pivotal treatment period, all participants may receive ersodetug in long-term extension. The primary endpoint is the proportion of participants achieving at least a 50 percent reduction from baseline in IV glucose requirements (glucose infusion rate; GIR). Additional endpoints include the number of participants and time to discontinuation of GIR, time to discharge from the hospital, extent of hypoglycemia events and hypoglycemia time in the outpatient setting by self-monitored blood glucose and continuous glucose monitor, respectively, and patient reported quality of life. About Tumor Hyperinsulinism Tumor hyperinsulinism (HI) is a rare disease that may be caused by two distinct types of tumors: islet cell tumors (ICTs) and non-islet cell tumors (NICTs), both of which lead to hypoglycemia as a result of over-activation of the insulin receptor. Insulinomas are the most common type of ICT and cause hypoglycemia by stimulating the over production of insulin. A variety of different NICTs, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma, can cause hypoglycemia by producing and secreting insulin-like paraneoplastic substances such as variants of IGF-2 that bind to and activate the insulin receptor. With high morbidity and mortality rates within tumor HI, there remains a significant unmet need for new therapies directed at hypoglycemia treatment. Ersodetug has shown real-world benefit in patients with insulinoma and NICTs.
