Hi, my name is Dr. Davelyn Hood, and I head Medical and Patient
Affairs at Rezolute.
I am also a congenital HI mom to an amazing young man who was born
in 2000 with severe, diffuse HI requiring a subtotal pancreatectomy at just 2 weeks of age when available therapies (the same that
are available today) failed to adequately manage his life-threatening hypoglycemia.
Following many years of volunteering with an international patient
advocacy group, I joined the amazing team at Rezolute to help move forward ersodetug, a new and promising first-in-class treatment
for HI that is now being studied in a global Phase 3 clinical trial.
The story you're about to watch is just one of a number of congenital
HI patients and families who live in a shadow of fear because their daily lives are profoundly disrupted by persistent, unmanageable
hypoglycemia - and how ersodetug is demonstrating the potential to safely reduce hypoglycemia while significantly improving the patients'
Paula participated in our last Phase 2 clinical study at the age of
10. At the time of filming of this video, Paula has been on ersodetug for nearly 2.5 years through our Expanded Access Program.
As Rezolute continues to study ersodetug as a potential treatment for
all forms of hyperinsulinism, we are hopeful many more lives may be positively impacted, just like Paula's.
There was no hanging out with friends, I couldn't go to
the pool, or go to sleep at a friend's house. I couldn't really do anything, not even go out alone in the town for a few hours.
This illness makes me have low blood sugar and when my sugar drops
my pancreas keeps producing insulin, which makes it drop even faster.
I often get sugar drops, especially if I've eaten a lot of sugar,
which then causes a rise, and then that rise turns into a strong drop.
When I have a drop, I get headaches and I feel like everything
is spinning, I get really dizzy.
The worst part of having hyperinsulinism is that it often limits me.
Before the medication, I was limited so much in the things I could do.
I remember when they finally said it was hyperinsulinism, they were
actually very quick (at diagnosing the disease) at the hospital when she was born, so I asked, well, what does this mean for the
You imagine that when your baby is born you go home, and you start
a new life with everything you imagined. And then suddenly, it's like boom', and all of that shatters.
Every week, every single week, I'd have to pick her up from
school once or twice because of a sugar drop, or I'd have to go with her on school trips, or change all our plans, even things like
Christmas Day because Paula had a sugar drop.
Cancel trips, cancel dinner plans, cancel everything, because I'd
be on my way to meet friends, and suddenly she would have a drop in the car.
Fear, the fear is that she might not be the same. That she might not
be the same. Because despite everything, she's always been super happy, super curious, asking questions.
And what if that's no longer there? What if it's gone
It's like this constant shadow, this fear. What if this time
she doesn't recover? What if it's done some damage to her brain? What if she doesn't come back from this one?
What if she's not the same Paula anymore? It's a shadow that's always there.
The decision to join the trial came together because of several things, Paula
had entered a really complicated time when it came to keeping her sugar stable. It was a very tough time.
But wow the medication worked super well from the beginning, and we
said ok let's just keep going and going.
Because thanks to this, she can have a normal life.
Honestly, I do hope to keep taking the medication because it works
well for me. I feel much better. Not only can I do so much more stuff, but I also feel much better.
Simply the fact of having to eat that much, I would have to eat
and then eat again and again which was usually the case.
My life has changed so much with the medication. For example, on trips, I
don't have to check my sugar anywhere near as much, and at school, the machine doesn't beep as much, which distracted my classmates.
And so now I don't need to be constantly drinking juice and stuff like that.
Before, she couldn't swim for more than half an hour in the pool,
and now she can swim for four hours without her sugar dropping. Before, after every half hour on the bike, we had to stop.
Now, we go 2, 3, 4 hours on the bike and she's fine. Before,
she couldn't stay over at friends' houses because I was afraid, and the people she would stay with were also afraid of her
Now she's started going to dinner with her group of friends.
And she has a better quality of life, a normal teenage life, that she wouldn't have had without this medication.
It's not that I imagine it, it's that I know, that if Paula
stops taking this medication, we're going to go back to the same situation.
Paula has a great quality of life thanks to this medication. And I
think that if Paula continues to be the Paula that she is now, she's going to help a lot of people.
