Rezolute Announces Further Evidence of RZ358's

Efficacy in Tumor-Mediated Hyperinsulinism

Redwood City, Calif.,

October 11, 2023 -- Rezolute, Inc. (Nasdaq: RZLT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing novel, transformative

therapies for serious metabolic and rare diseases, today announced results following administration of RZ358 to a patient with refractory

hypoglycemia due to tumor-mediated hyperinsulinism (tmHI) on a compassionate-use basis, under its expanded access program (EAP).

The Company previously

reported on the successful use of RZ358 for a patient with refractory hypoglycemia due to metastatic insulinoma, which has since

been published in a recent edition of the New England Journal of Medicine (389;8). As a result of that publication,

the Company recently received and granted a request from a physician-investigator who had FDA approval to use RZ358 for a patient

with refractory hypoglycemia due to a metastatic, insulin-secreting cervical cancer. The patient began receiving treatment with RZ358

in September 2023, which resulted in resolution of her hypoglycemia and enabled her to be discharged from the hospital to resume

cancer-directed therapy while continuing to receive RZ358 to control hypoglycemia. Notably, the individual with metastatic insulinoma

has remained on RZ358 for nearly a year.

"Not only is it gratifying to be able to

provide RZ358 to patients who desperately need new therapies for hyperinsulinism, we are extremely encouraged by the very favorable glycemic

outcomes achieved in these two patients with different types of tumor-mediated HI," remarked Brian Roberts, MD, Chief Medical

Officer at Rezolute. "We believe that this provides further validation of our long-held view of hyperinsulinism as a group

of related conditions, and RZ358 as a potential universal treatment for any of the various causes of hyperinsulinism, whether congenital,

induced by gastric bypass, or mediated by tumors. We are in the process of evaluating next steps to develop RZ358 in these additional

About Tumor-Mediated Hyperinsulinism

Hypoglycemia from tmHI may be caused by a variety

of benign and malignant pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (insulinomas), other non-pancreatic insulin-producing cancers, or sometimes

by non-islet cancers that make other substances with insulin-like effects. The prevalence of non-surgical and refractory forms of

these conditions is estimated at approximately 2,000 individuals in the US with no adequate available treatments, and therefore the

Company believes that it represents another rare disease with a substantial unmet need.

RZ358 is a fully human monoclonal antibody that works downstream from

the pancreas and instead binds to a unique allosteric site on insulin receptors in the liver, fat, and muscle. The antibody counteracts

the effects of elevated insulin in the body by modulating insulin's binding, signaling, and activity to restore glucose levels to a normal

range. Rezolute believes that RZ358 is ideally suited as a potential therapy for congenital hyperinsulinism (cHI) and other conditions

characterized by excessive insulin levels. Because RZ358 acts downstream from the pancreas, it has the potential to be universally effective

at treating cHI, regardless of the causative genetic defect, as well as acquired forms of HI such as those mediated by insulinomas and

other tumor types. RZ358 received Orphan Drug Designation in the United States and European Union for the treatment of cHI, as well as

Pediatric Rare Disease Designation in the US.

The Company's Phase 2b trial (RIZE) of RZ358

in patients with cHI, demonstrated that RZ358 was generally safe and well-tolerated, as well as highly effective in correcting hypoglycemia,

in participants who were failing available standard of care therapies. The Company is on track to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 trial of

RZ358 (sunRIZE) outside the US in individuals three months of age and older in Q4 2023. The addressable market for cHI is estimated to

be approximately 3,500 patients in the US and 10,000 patients overall in addressable markets.

About Rezolute, Inc.

Rezolute strives to disrupt current treatment

paradigms by developing transformative therapies for devastating rare and chronic metabolic diseases. Its novel therapies hold the potential

to both significantly improve outcomes and reduce the treatment burden for patients, treating physicians, and the healthcare system.
