Rani Therapeutics Announces Successful Drug Delivery of High-Capacity Pill in Preclinical Studies

- Two preclinical studies of RaniPill® HC achieved 18/20 successful drug delivery of orally administered teriparatide resulting in a cumulative 90% success rate

- Rani will continue preclinical testing to confirm preliminary reliability rate and optimize device performance

- Increased payload of up to 20mg enables potential delivery of 90+ additional drug candidates -

SAN JOSE, Calif., September 7, 2023 -- Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (“Rani Therapeutics” or “Rani”) (Nasdaq: RANI), a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company focused on the oral delivery of biologics and drugs, today announced three new positive preclinical studies which support the development of a high-capacity oral biologics device known as the RaniPill® HC, a version of the RaniPill® capsule that is capable of delivering up to a 500%-plus higher drug payload than Rani’s existing oral biologics capsule.

“We are delighted to share that the orally administered RaniPill® HC was able to demonstrate successful drug delivery and high reliability across multiple preclinical studies, further supporting our development of the RaniPill® HC,” said Talat Imran, Chief Executive Officer of Rani. “The RaniPill® HC is designed to enable the potential delivery of 90+ additional drug candidates, opening up a significant market opportunity for Rani Therapeutics. We are excited about the difference the RaniPill® HC could make to alleviate the burden of painful injections for patients and provide a new solution for providers, and look forward to bringing the technology into the clinic through the initiation of a Phase 1 study of adalimumab RT-105.”

Preliminary Data Highlights:

Teriparatide Canine Studies

Rani conducted two preclinical studies of the RaniPill® HC containing 40ug of teriparatide. In the first study, two RaniPill® HC capsules were orally administered to 5 awake canine subjects sequentially, with a second RaniPill® HC capsule administered after the deployment of the previous device was confirmed. In the second study, a single RaniPill® HC capsule was administered to 10 awake canines.

•

RaniPill® HC achieved 18/20 successful drug delivery of teriparatide in the two studies, resulting in a cumulative 90% success rate.

•

Successful drug delivery was confirmed by positive drug signal for teriparatide in serum.

•

Devices used in these studies were separate iterations, and may not comprise all the same components expected in a final version.

•

Preliminary preclinical testing supports the potential for RaniPill® HC to have high reliability.

Fe57 Canine Study

Rani also conducted an additional preclinical study of RaniPill® HC containing Fe57 (iron) in 2 canine subjects.

•

The RaniPill® HC containing Fe57 showed a positive drug signal comparable to subcutaneous injection.

•

Initial analysis of drug delivery via the RaniPill® HC shows a potential for mimicking parenteral (subcutaneous) administration.

Anticipated Next Steps & Milestones:

•

Continue preclinical testing of the RaniPill® HC to confirm the preliminary reliability rate and optimize device performance.

•

Introduce RaniPill® HC into the clinic with the initiation of a Phase 1 trial of RT-105 containing adalimumab.

Obesity/Metabolic: GLP-1 Clinical Study Rani has demonstrated high bioavailability of the GLP-1 agonist exenatide Presented as a late-breaking abstract at the American Diabetes Association Conference 2023 Key Drivers: Large and growing patient population seeking treatment options for obesity Approved therapies for obesity are non-ideal Majority of obesity treatments are monthly or weekly injectables Low bioavailability leading some to explore extremely high dosing (up to145x SC dose [8]) Small molecules unlikely for multi-agonist approach Rani Strategy: Target 25% reduction in weight with multi-agonist Dosing flexibility Convenience of QW dosing Fractionated QD dosing with potentially improved tolerability

Oligonucleotides: Preliminary Research with ASO Key Drivers: Emerging area of drug development that offers a promising alternative to therapies targeting downstream processes Chemistry attempts at oral delivery have had mixed results in terms of bioavailability Rani Strategy: Provide a safe and efficacious way to deliver ASOs orally Some prior oral administration attempts have shown five-fold increase in liver concentration.[9] Rani could potentially couple this with serum bioavailability equivalent to SC injection ASO administered via endoscopic injection that mimics RaniPill route of administration PK profiles for Rani route of administration and SC administration were comparable

Fertility: FSH Preclinical Study Key Drivers: Rani Strategy: Provide oral option to expand market opportunity even further with minimal manufacturing burden FSH delivered via the RaniPill Yielded Bioavailability Comparable to SC Injection Market Poised for significant growth: IVF services estimated at $3B market and projected to grow at a 10% rate through 2024 [10] Between 2009 and 2016, number of women in the US who froze their eggs rose by more than 1,000% [11] Cash pay for high-cost treatment 7–14-day treatment Burdensome and difficult to administer injections
