Rezolute, Inc. Highlights Results from Natural History Outcomes Studies and Its Ersodetug Clinical Program in Hyperinsulinism At Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society Rezolute, Inc. highlighted four data presentations delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society (ENDO). Two poster presentations highlighted results from systematic analyses of the natural history and adverse neurologic and health-economic outcomes resulting from congenital HI, using a meta-analysis of the literature as well as a claims-based approach to quantifying congenital HI complications, respectively. This is an important step toward consolidating and quantifying the disease-impact and informing future health economics and outcomes research that will facilitate the development and potential future launch of the Company’s therapy, ersodetug, in this indication. A third poster presentation highlighted favorable outcomes from a case series report of 9 patients with refractory hypoglycemia due to malignant insulinoma and non-islet cell tumors (tumor HI), demonstrating that 75% of the patients receiving IV dextrose/total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in the EAP achieved a complete discontinuation of IV dextrose/TPN. In an oral presentation, Huseyin Demirbilek, M.D., Professor, Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey, and Principal Investigator of the Phase 3 sunRIZE study of ersodetug in congenital HI, reviewed previously reported sunRIZE results. Each of the Company’s full data presentations from ENDO can be found on the Publications and Presentations page of the Rezolute website. 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.

Rezolute, Inc. Provides Positive Interim Data For Its Phase 3 UpLIFT Study Of Ersodetug In Tumor Hyperinsulinism Rezolute, Inc. 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% 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. 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% 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. 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. 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.
