Rezolute Announces Oral Presentation of Results
From its Phase 3 sunRIZE Study of Ersodetug in Patients with Congenital Hyperinsulinism at the Pediatric Endocrine Society Annual Meeting
Includes results from additional continuous
glucose monitoring (CGM)-based outcomes which demonstrate significant and consistent improvements in glycemic control in ersodetug treatment
arms compared to placebo, across multiple pre-specified and post-hoc endpoints
Participation, retention, and treatment duration
in the open-label extension (OLE) phase of the study is high and has resulted in continued glycemic benefit, concurrent with the reduction
and/or discontinuation of background standard of care (SOC) therapies
CITY, Calif., May 1, 2026 - Rezolute, Inc. (Nasdaq: RZLT) ("Rezolute" or the "Company"), a
late-stage rare disease company focused on treating hypoglycemia caused by all forms of hyperinsulinism (HI), today announced that expanded
analyses from the Phase 3 sunRIZE study of ersodetug in patients with congenital HI were presented at the Pediatric Endocrine Society
(PES) 2026 Annual Meeting. The oral presentation was made by Diva D. De Le n-Crutchlow, M.D., M.S.C.E., Chief of the Division
of Endocrinology and Diabetes, Director of the Congenital Hyperinsulinism Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Principal
Investigator of the sunRIZE study. In addition to the previously reported topline results, the presentation included additional results
from pre-specified and post-hoc sunRIZE analyses, which the Company believes reiterates evidence of target engagement and highlights the
potential therapeutic benefit of ersodetug.
As discussed in today's presentation, although statistical significance
for the secondary endpoint (% time in hypoglycemia by CGM) was not achieved at the Week 24/End of Treatment evaluation window, larger
and often nominally statistically significant glycemic improvements were consistently observed throughout the maintenance dosing phase
of the study, across time and numerous pre-specified and post-hoc CGM-based endpoints. These outcomes are summarized below and depicted
by the Forest Plot in Figure 1.
Summary of Key Additional Data Presented
Average weekly hypoglycemia events by CGM : clinically relevant and nominally statistically significant reductions of ~50-65% (FAS) and ~50-80% (PPS), compared to placebo across multiple timepoints
Average daily AUC 70 to 180 mg/dL (Exposure to Normoglycemia) by CGM : clinically relevant and nominally statistically significant increases of ~25-50% (FAS and PPS), compared to placebo across multiple timepoints
Average blood glucose (mg/dL) by CGM : clinically relevant and nominally statistically significant increases of ~10-15% (~10-15 mg/dL) in both the FAS and PPS, compared to placebo across multiple timepoints

The Company is also assessing the longer-term efficacy and safety of
ersodetug in a real-world setting in an ongoing OLE phase of the study, including the roll-over of placebo participants. Following the
conclusion of the randomized and placebo-controlled phase of sunRIZE, all 59 study completers elected to enter the OLE, as previously
reported by the Company. Reflecting no change since last reported, 57 participants continue to attend regular study visits at sunRIZE
study centers to receive ersodetug in the OLE, now representing a cumulative ersodetug exposure duration in the study ranging from approximately
6 to 24 months. Preliminary OLE observations demonstrate continued glycemic benefit, including a clinically significant change in glycemic
control in the rolled-over placebo participants compared to the controlled period of the study. These glycemic benefits have enabled a
concurrent significant overall reduction in background SOC therapies (e.g. diazoxide, somatostatin analogs, and/or regular tube feeds),
with a significant number of patients now receiving ersodetug as monotherapy.
Notably, a summary of these same CGM-based study outcomes and preliminary
observations from the OLE phase of the study were recently discussed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of the Company's
Type B meeting held on March 17, 2026. The meeting resulted in the agency acknowledging challenges associated with the study primary
endpoint (events by finger-stick self-monitored blood glucose [SMBG]), and concluded with the agency requesting that the Company submit
the broader study data for the agency's comprehensive evaluation to inform next steps for the program.
"We are pleased to highlight that deeper analyses of the sunRIZE
outcomes and ongoing observations from the extension phase of the study consistently indicate evidence of target engagement, drug activity,
and the potential for meaningful therapeutic benefit from ersodetug," said Brian Roberts, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Rezolute.
"These results underscore our confidence in the potential of ersodetug to transform the HI treatment landscape and embolden our
mission to achieve alignment with FDA on an acceptable path to approval in this indication, so that we can keep delivering ersodetug to
patients and families living with congenital HI."

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.
Although sunRIZE demonstrated reductions from baseline in hypoglycemia events,
the study did not meet its primary endpoint, which assessed change in average weekly hypoglycemia events by self-monitored blood
glucose (SMBG) compared to placebo. The reductions observed were not statistically significant, which the Company believes was a
result of functional unblinding of the SMBG endpoint, leading to divergent and confounding glucose-modifying behaviors between
treatment groups, and a pronounced study effect in the placebo arm.
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 the pancreas, it has the potential to be universally effective
at treating hypoglycemia due to any congenital or acquired form of HI.
