Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Rezolute, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains an expanded access program (“EAP”) for the purpose of making the Company’s antibody therapy, RZ358, available on a compassionate use basis when all other therapeutic options have been exhausted and an individual’s hypoglycemia is unmanageable. In Q4 2022, the Company received and approved an EAP request from Dr. Mary Elizabeth Patti, Director of the Hypoglycemia Clinic at the Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Medical Center-affiliated Joslin Diabetes Center, for a patient with intractable hypoglycemia caused by a metastatic insulin-producing neuroendocrine tumor (“insulinoma”). Dr. Patti received US Food and Drug Administration approval and local institutional review board approval for an individual new drug application to treat the patient with RZ358. The patient began receiving the antibody therapy in Q4 2022 and continues to receive it at Dr. Patti’s direction. Dr. Patti has reported that the patient has safely achieved a substantial benefit in the correction of hypoglycemia and associated quality of life following the continued administration of RZ358.
Dr. Patti’s use of RZ358 for a patient that is suffering with insulinoma marks the first time that the Company has provided its therapy for use in this indication. Dr. Patti submitted an abstract related to this patient’s experience as a case-study to the 105th Annual Scientific Meetings of the Endocrine Society. The study, “Treatment of Severe Refractory Hypoglycemia Due to Malignant Insulinoma With A Novel Anti-insulin Receptor Antibody”, was accepted as a late-breaking abstract and was presented by Dr. Patti in poster form on Friday, June 16, 2023. The original abstract will be published in a supplemental issue of the Journal of the Endocrine Society. A link to the poster presentation of the abstract is available in the News and Publication section of Rezolute’s website.
