Current report
On April 23, 2025, we announced a positive outcome from an interim analysis of the sunRIZE study. An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) recommended to continue the study as planned in patients with congenital HI without an increase in the study sample size. We remain blinded to the results and information made available to the DMC to inform its decision making.
Current report
The interim analysis of the Phase 3 sunRIZE study was performed by an unblinded DMC and was based on a pre-specified analysis of the primary study endpoint (hypoglycemia events), after approximately half of enrolled patients completed the primary assessments. The analysis was intended to evaluate for study futility or otherwise to inform a potential sample size increase, for purposes of optimizing the study power and statistical confidence in the final analysis outcomes.

Ersodetug for tumor hyperinsulinism (tHI)
Current report
Based on clinical trial data across the overall HI program and a recognition of the mechanistic applicability to tumor HI, further validated by real-world experience in tumor HI patients who have been successfully treated with ersodetug throughout the U.S. in the Company's Expanded Access Program, ersodetug was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the FDA in the U.S. in May 2025. Utilizing this designation, we plan to engage further with FDA to discuss the registrational trial, including the necessary data package to support a BLA filing and potential approval for the tumor HI indication, as an expansion of the congenital HI indication.

2024 Underwritten Offering
Current report
The increase in R&D facilities and headcount related costs of $1.0 million was driven by (i) $0.7 million increase in R&D compensation costs attributable to an increase in the average number of R&D employees from 39 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to 48 employees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and (ii) increase in R&D facilities costs to support the increased headcount.
Current report
RZ402 costs decreased by $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was due to a $1.7 million reduction in RZ402 clinical costs as we completed the Phase 2 study in the prior year and are actively in discussion with potential partners to continue clinical development leading to minimal program costs in the current period.
Current report
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no warrant liabilities recognized. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized an expense of approximately $2.0 million, primarily due to the increase of $0.65 per share in our stock price, resulting in changes in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability related to the Exchange PFWs issued on March 8, 2024.
Current report
Nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

Previous report
On February 4, 2025, we announced completion of enrollment of 8 participants into the Open Label Arm (OLA) of the sunRIZE study (participants ages 3 months to 1 year old) and approval by an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) to continue further enrollment of this age group into the double-blind arms of the overall study. This decision was based on their review of safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data, which demonstrated that target exposures were safety reached at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg administered bi-weekly and monthly, which represent the dose levels being studied in the double-blind, pivotal portion of the study.
Previous report
An interim analysis of the primary endpoint (change in hypoglycemia events) is planned for this quarter, and we plan to announce the conclusions of the DMC and provide an overall study update early in the second quarter. We will continue to be blinded to the glucose results and efficacy outcomes.

Ersodetug for tumor hyperinsulinism (HI)
Previous report
RZ402 and other R&D costs decreased by $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.7 million reduction in RZ402 clinical costs as there is no active RZ402 study in the current period. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in R&D related facilities and headcount costs that was attributable to an increase in the average number of R&D employees from 43 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 to 46 employees for the three months ended December 31,2024.

Congenital HI is the most common cause of recurrent and persistent hypoglycemia in children. Individuals with congenital HI typically present with signs or symptoms of hypoglycemia shortly after birth. Hypoglycemia can result in significant brain injury and death if not recognized and managed appropriately.

recognized and managed appropriately. Additionally, recurrent, or cumulative, hypoglycemia can lead to progressive and irreversible damage over time, including serious and devastating brain injury, seizures, neuro-developmental problems, feeding difficulties, and significant impact on patient and family quality of life. In cases that are unresponsive to medical management, surgical removal of the pancreas may be required. In those with diffuse disease where the whole pancreas is affected, a near-total pancreatectomy can be undertaken, although ongoing medical treatment of hypoglycemia is generally required for several years after surgery, before eventual insulin-dependent diabetes ensues. There are no U.S. FDA approved therapies for all forms of congenital HI and the current standard of care treatments are suboptimal. The current treatments used by physicians include glucagon, diazoxide, somatostatin analogues and pancreatectomy. We estimate that in the U.S. alone the immediately addressable market for congenital HI is more than 1,500 individuals.

Previous wording
The Phase 3 registrational study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 24 participants who have inadequately controlled hypoglycemia because of tumor HI. Eligible participants will be randomized in 1:1 fashion (12 per treatment arm) to receive ersodetug 9 mg/kg per week or matched placebo, as an add-on to standard of care. Up to 24 additional participants may be enrolled into an open-label arm, in participants whose hypoglycemia is being managed by IV glucose in a hospital setting. Following an 8-week pivotal treatment period, all participants may receive ersodetug in open-label extension. The primary endpoint is the change in Level 2 (moderate) and Level 3 (severe) hypoglycemia events by self-monitored blood glucose. Additional endpoints include overall hypoglycemia events, time in hypoglycemia by continuous glucose monitor, patient reported quality of life, hospitalizations, and change in glucose requirements (for open-label hospitalized participants.

Previous wording
Current therapies for insulinomas and NICTs can be grouped into two main categories: (a) tumor-directed de-bulking therapies (e.g. surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy), which may indirectly and/or eventually lead to decreased levels of circulating insulin and/or insulin-like substances, and therefore control HI and related hypoglycemia; and/or (b) medical therapies such as glucocorticoids that are used to attempt to treat the hypoglycemia. Tumor-directed therapies do not directly treat hypoglycemia caused by insulinomas or NICTs. In many cases, tumor-directed therapies are administered concurrently with medical therapies for hypoglycemia and in other cases successful treatment of hypoglycemia often enables the initiation and/or continuation of tumor-directed therapies, as indicated. During the period from diagnosis to surgical treatment, or if surgery is contraindicated or refused, medical treatments are often necessary to directly manage the HI and hypoglycemia induced by the tumor. Additionally, chronic medical management of refractory hypoglycemia is often necessary for patients who cannot be cured by surgery, such as those with extensive disease of the pancreas, multi-focal insulinomas, inoperable or unresectable benign or malignant insulinomas, metastatic insulinomas, non-pancreatic insulinomas, or NICT hypoglycemia resulting from a variety of other tumors.

A significant unmet need exists for treatment options with improved efficacy and tolerability as normalization of glucose levels is crucial to prevent serious signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, improve patient quality of life and overall function, and even to ensure patients are fit to receive cancer treatment and to reduce mortality. Unfortunately, some patients are unresponsive to the current standard of care medical therapies for tumor HI and experience debilitating hypoglycemia that is otherwise untreatable. Currently available medical therapies are directed at reducing or eliminating insulin production and/or secretion from tumors, which may be challenging when the tumor is differentiated or dysregulated, and therefore not responding to usual control mechanisms for suppressing insulin production.

A significant unmet need exists for treatment options with improved efficacy and tolerability as normalization of glucose levels is crucial to prevent serious signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, improve patient quality of life and overall function, and even to ensure patients are fit to receive cancer treatment and to reduce mortality. Unfortunately, some patients are unresponsive to the current standard of care medical therapies for tumor HI and experience debilitating hypoglycemia that is otherwise untreatable. Currently available medical therapies are directed at reducing or eliminating insulin production and/or secretion from tumors, which may be challenging when the tumor is differentiated or dysregulated, and therefore not responding to usual control mechanisms for suppressing insulin production. In some cases, commonly utilized somatostatin analog therapies may even worsen hypoglycemia due to suppression of glucagon. Therefore, currently available medical therapies directed at suppressing insulin production may have limited effectiveness in tumor HI.
Previous wording
To date, we have received over 25 unsolicited inbound physician inquiries regarding the use of ersodetug in patients with tumor HI caused by metastatic insulinomas or non-islet cell tumors, which has thus far resulted in the request, approval, and initiation of ersodetug in nine patients with tumor HI. In the U.S., these requests have all been indvidually approved by the Division. The tumor HI patients dosed have been refractory to the standard of care therapies for chronic management of hypoglycemia. They were generally requiring continuous intravenous dextrose or nutritional infusion in order to prevent severe hypoglycemia, and were typically hospitalized and in life-threatening or hospice-bound condition at the time of request. Further treatment with tumor-directed therapies (e.g., embolization, radiotherapy, chemotherapy) was often deferred as a result of the debilitating hypoglycemia.
Current wording
We maintain an EAP for a variety of HI indications for the purpose of making ersodetug available on a compassionate use basis when available therapeutic options have failed, and an individual’s hypoglycemia is unmanageable. In clinical and real-world experience, ersodetug has been shown to counteract excessive insulin action downstream, at the insulin-receptor on target organs. The unique mechanism of action of ersodetug makes the therapy a potential universal treatment for any form of HI. To date, we have received over 25 unsolicited inbound physician inquiries regarding the use of ersodetug in patients with tumor HI caused by metastatic insulinomas or non-islet cell tumors, which has thus far resulted in the request, approval, and initiation of ersodetug in nine patients with tumor HI. In the U.S., these requests have all been individually approved by the Division. The tumor HI patients dosed have been refractory to the standard of care therapies for chronic management of hypoglycemia.

Previous wording
Generally, dosing for tumor HI patients has been either 6 mg/kg or 9 mg/kg every 1-4 weeks. In all cases to date, ersodetug has led to substantial improvement in hypoglycemia and has been well tolerated. Within a relatively short period of time after administration of ersodetug, continuous intravenous dextrose was discontinued or substantially reduced and hospitalized patients were able to be discharged and receive maintenance ersodetug doses on an outpatient basis, with durable benefit. In several cases, other background medical therapies to prevent hypoglycemia were able to be weaned or stopped, and patients were able to resume tumor-directed therapies for treatment of their underlying cancer. No participants have discontinued the therapy due to lack of response or safety, and the duration of treatment has ranged from several months to more than 1 year in several instances, in this subset of tumor HI patients with significantly advanced and metastatic tumor burden. Presently, 5 patients are receiving ersodetug in an ongoing fashion, including one patient who has been successfully treated for 15 months, and several other patients have recently been brought to our attention and are currently under consideration for possible treatment.

On June 13, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement for the planned issuance and sale of equity securities in an underwritten public offering (the “2024 Underwritten Offering”). The 2024 Underwritten Offering provided for the issuance of (i) 11,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share for gross proceeds of $45.0 million, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,750,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $3.999 per pre-funded warrant (the “2024 PFWs”) for gross proceeds of $15.0 million. The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $4.00 per share, less underwriting discounts of 6.0% of the gross proceeds. The underwriters’ option was partially exercised for 1,786,589 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $7.1 million. Closing occurred on June 24, 2024, whereby the aggregate gross proceeds amounted to $67.1 million. The net proceeds of the 2024 Underwritten Offering amounted to approximately $62.6 million. In July 2024, we utilized approximately $59.7 million of the net proceeds from the 2024 Underwritten Offering to purchase investments in marketable debt securities with maturities that range from October 2024 through December 2025.

We account for investments in marketable debt securities as available-for-sale securities whereby they are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Interest income consists of accrued interest earned based on the coupon rate of the security, plus the impact of accreting discounts and amortizing premiums to maturity using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. Unrealized gains and losses due to subsequent changes in fair value of the investments are reported in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The individual debt securities in our portfolio are subject to credit risk in the event of default by the issuers. We review the components of our portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities, using both quantitative and qualitative factors, to determine if declines in fair value below amortized cost have resulted from a credit-related loss or other factors. To the extent that declines in fair value are due to a deterioration of credit quality of the issuer, we will recognize an allowance for credit losses related to such investments with a corresponding loss in the consolidated statements of operations. Allowances for credit losses may be reversed in subsequent periods if conditions improve and credit-related losses are no longer expected. For a decline in fair value that is solely due to changes in interest rates, impairment is not recognized if we have the ability and intent to hold the investment until maturity. The cost basis of any securities sold prior to maturity will be determined using the specific identification method.

cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award. For awards that contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award was, in substance, a single award. We recognize the impact of forfeitures in the period that the forfeiture occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for share-based compensation. For stock options that are voluntarily surrendered by employees, all unrecognized compensation is immediately recognized in the period the options are cancelled.

The increase in R&D expenses of $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to $2.8 million net increase in ersodetug R&D costs, partially offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in RZ402 and other R&D related costs.
Current wording
The increase in R&D expenses of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to (i) a $3.5 million increase in ersodetug R&D costs, and (ii) a $1.0 million increase in R&D headcount costs, partially offset by a decrease of $1.7 million in RZ402 and other R&D related costs.
Previous wording
The increase in ersodetug R&D costs was driven by (i) $2.8 million of manufacturing related costs for pre-commercial batch production of drug product and (ii) $0.6 million in clinical costs due to startup activities in 2024 for the tHI phase 3 study expected to be initiated in the Q2 of calendar 2025. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, there were no clinical costs incurred for tHI related program spend. These increased were offset by decreases of $0.6 million in preclinical and toxicology related ersodetug costs. This decrease was due to increased costs related to toxicology studies pursued to release the partial clinical hold on the sunRIZE study.
Current wording
The increase in ersodetug R&D costs was driven by (i) $1.9 million of manufacturing related costs for process performance qualification batch production of drug product, (ii) $1.0 million in clinical costs due to startup activities in 2024 for the tumor HI phase 3 study which we are in preparation for first patient enrollment anticipated in the second quarter of calendar 2025, and (iii) a $0.9 million increase in clinical trial costs due to the ongoing enrollment of patients in the cHI phase 3 clinical study. These increases amount to $3.8 million and were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in preclinical, toxicology and other ersodetug costs after the partial clinical hold on the sunRIZE study was lifted by the FDA in September 2024, requiring no further toxicology studies for that specific purpose. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no clinical costs incurred for tumor HI related program spend as this study had yet to be initiated and there were fewer clinical costs for cHI as we had not enrolled any patients in the sunRIZE study as of March 31, 2024.

The increase in R&D expenses of $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of $4.1 million related to ersodetug R&D costs, (ii) an increase of $0.9 million in other preclinical, toxicology and facility related costs, and (iii) an increase of $0.2 million in R&D compensation and benefits costs. These increases amount to $5.4 million and were partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in costs related to RZ402 program spend as there is no active RZ402 study in the current period.
Current wording
The increase in R&D expenses of $4.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of $8.2 million related to ersodetug R&D costs and (ii) an increase of $1.5 million in other R&D costs. These increases amount to $9.7 million and were partially offset by a $5.7 million decrease in costs related to RZ402 program spend as there are no active RZ402 studies in the current period while we are actively seeking a partner to continue development of this program.
Previous wording
The net increase in ersodetug costs of $4.1 million was attributable to (i) $4.5 million of manufacturing related costs for pre-commercial and phase 3 clinical drug supply, (ii) $0.7 million of clinical related costs incurred for the tHI phase 3 study and (iii) $0.3 million of sunRIZE related clinical trial costs due to increased enrollment. These increases amount to $5.5 million and were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in preclinical, toxicology and other ersodetug costs that were eliminated after the partial clinical hold on the sunRIZE study was lifted by the FDA in September 2024.
Current wording
The net increase in ersodetug costs of $8.2 million was attributable to (i) $6.3 million of manufacturing related costs for process performance qualification batch production of drug product, which will also continue support both phase 3 studies and EAPs, (ii) $1.8 million of clinical related costs incurred for the tumor HI phase 3 study for which startup activities were initiated in August 2024 after clearance of our IND application and anticipating enrollment of the first patient in the study in the second quarter of calendar 2025 and (iii) $0.9 million of costs for the sunRIZE clinical trial which did not enroll its first patient until April 2024, and we are tracking to complete enrollment in the study in May 2025. These increases amount to $9.0 million and were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in preclinical, toxicology and other ersodetug costs that were no longer required to support our efforts to remove the partial clinical hold on the sunRIZE study, which was lifted by the FDA in September 2024.

Current therapies for insulinomas and NICTs can be grouped into two main categories: (a) tumor-directed de-bulking therapies (e.g. surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy), which may indirectly and/or eventually lead to decreased levels of circulating insulin and/or insulin-like substances, and therefore control HI and related hypoglycemia; and/or (b) medical therapies such as glucocorticoids that are used to attempt to treat the hypoglycemia. Tumor-directed therapies do not directly treat hypoglycemia caused by insulinomas or NICTs.

On April 23, 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement for the planned issuance and sale of equity securities in an underwritten public offering (the “2025 Underwritten Offering”). The 2025 Underwritten Offering resulted in the issuance of (i) 20,786,923 shares of common stock at a price of $3.25 per share for gross proceeds of $67.6 million, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 6,905,385 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $3.249 per pre-funded warrant (the “2025 PFWs”) for gross proceeds of $22.4 million. The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 4,153,846 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $3.25 per share. The underwriters’ option was fully exercised for all 4,153,846 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $13.5 million. Closing occurred on April 24, 2025, whereby the aggregate gross proceeds amounted to $103.5 million.
