Press Release

RedHill Biopharma Advancing Opaganib Options for Novel

Dual Host Directed and Direct Acting Antiviral Approach

for Ebola Outbreak Biodefense Platforms

Amid the rapidly evolving Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak involving the rare Bundibugyo

ebolavirus sub-type, for which there are no approved medications or vaccines, RedHill Biopharma

is actively discussing potential collaborations for clinical advancement of opaganib¹, including the

World Health Organization’s (WHO) SOLIDARITY CORE clinical trial platform

Opaganib EVD rationale (analogous to EVD treatment pathway):

Phase 3 clinical antiviral activity (severe COVID-19) showing²:

70.2% mortality reduction with opaganib given as add-on to best available standard of care (remdesivir + corticosteroids): 6.98% (n=3/43) opaganib + SoC vs. 23.4% (n=11/47) placebo + SoC (p=0.034))

Improved median time to viral RNA clearance by ≥4 days in opaganib-treated patients (median 10 days vs. not reached by Day 14 in placebo, HR 1.34, p=0.043)

Demonstrated safety and tolerability profile in 470 clinical trial participants

Preclinical EVD activity (United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)-funded studies showed³:

Opaganib inhibition of EVD in human macrophages

Increased survival for opaganib group (one of two animal models)⁴

Synergistic effect when opaganib combined with Gilead Sciences’ remdesivir (Veklury^®)

Opaganib’s potential dual mechanism of action against EVD and filovirus-class activity⁵:

Opaganib's therapeutic target—SPHK2 inhibition—disrupts host-cell components essential for filovirus entry and replication that are conserved across Filoviridae

PI3K/Akt pathway inhibition (required for filovirus entry and membrane trafficking)

NLRP3 and IL-6/TNFα inflammasome suppression and S1P-mediated vascular permeability reduction (addressing immune dysregulation and vascular leak in viral hemorrhagic fever)

Published literature explicitly validates sphingosine kinases as targets for filovirus inhibition⁶

Opaganib, an investigational SPHK2 inhibitor drug, offers a novel potential approach to strengthen global infectious disease preparedness and biodefense:

Host-directed therapeutic (HDT) – providing for a possible two-pronged approach to viral defense with potential for co-administration with direct-acting EVD-focused antivirals (i.e. Gilead’s remdesivir and obeldesivir, Regeneron's maftivimab, and Mapp's MBP134) with minimal expected drug-drug interactions

Oral administration, ease of storage and distribution supporting clinical evaluation and possible stockpiling requirements

With the WHO suggesting the current outbreak was outpacing response efforts⁷, the Company has

provided available supply readiness, safety and efficacy data to aid rapid discussions to enable

clinical exploration of the potential synergies of opaganib host-directed therapy in addressing a

growing global public health threat

TEL-AVIV, Israel / RALEIGH, NC, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDHL) (“RedHill” or the “Company”), a specialty biopharmaceutical company, today announced that it is actively discussing potential collaborations for advancement of its investigational oral drug, opaganib, to combat EVD, which can be fatal in approximately half of all cases^[8], including the World Health Organization’s (WHO) SOLIDARITY CORE clinical trial platform and pharma collaborations. Opaganib is an easily stored, distributed and orally administered, host-directed, small molecule SPHK2 inhibitor with demonstrated antiviral properties in advanced clinical stage.

“Recent remarks from the WHO, and health authorities worldwide, point to the urgent need for options to combat the current Ebola outbreak, involving the rare Bundibugyo ebolavirus sub-type - which appears to be outpacing response efforts. Opaganib has shown a potential dual mechanism of action against EVD and filovirus-class activity, EVD-specific preclinical activity, showing inhibition of EVD, increased survival, and synergistic effects with directing acting antiviral therapy, significantly improving potency while maintaining cell viability, and clinical antiviral evidence of a 70.2% mortality reduction as add-on therapy to the remdesivir + corticosteroids subgroup in our Phase 3 severe COVID-19 trial. This along with its demonstrated clinical safety profile and ability to be easily stored, distributed and administered without the need for complex cold store distribution chains strongly supports the need for clinical evaluation of opaganib in light of the deadly current outbreak,” said Gilead Raday, Chief Operating Officer and Head of R&D at RedHill. “Opaganib sits in a distinct category as a host-directed agent which can be added to direct-acting antivirals, representing an opportunity to enhance global infectious disease preparedness and biodefense infrastructure against EVD, while also being preferentially suited to the logistical challenges found on the ground during these tragic outbreaks.”

Peer-reviewed published data shows opaganib’s host-direction action stems from its ability to simultaneously inhibit three sphingolipid-metabolizing enzymes in human cells (SPHK2, DES1 and GCS), altering the cellular lipid balance and enabling inhibition of replication of viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and Ebola. In EVD specifically, opaganib offers a potential dual mechanism of action; blocking the PI3K/Akt pathway critical for filovirus entry and suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome and reducing IL-6/TNFα and S1P-mediated vascular permeability (addressing immune dysregulation and vascular leak).

Proactively, and upon request, the Company has provided information to relevant government, industry and other organizations, regarding supply readiness and all available clinical and preclinical safety and efficacy data to aid rapid clinical and regulatory discussions.

Opaganib is in development for multiple oncology, viral, inflammatory and diabetes and obesity-related indications. Opaganib is an investigational new drug. It has not been approved by any regulatory authority and is not available for commercial distribution. Inclusion in the WHO CORE platform cannot be guaranteed.

About Ebola virus disease:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Ebola disease is a rare and often deadly illness, caused by infection by one of a group of four viruses, known as ebolaviruses. Transmission of the disease is mostly through contact with an infected animal (bat or nonhuman primate) or a sick or dead person infected with an ebolavirus. The course of the illness typically progresses from “dry” symptoms initially (such as fever, aches and pains, and fatigue) and then progresses to “wet” symptoms (such as diarrhea, vomiting and unexplained hemorrhaging, bleeding or bruising) as the person becomes sicker. Currently only Inmazeb™ (atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), a combination of three monoclonal antibodies and Ebanga™ (ansuvimab-zykl, Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, LP), a single monoclonal antibody, are FDA-approved to treat EVD. Both are intravenously administered, direct acting, monoclonal antibody antivirals that bind to glycoproteins on the Ebola virus’s surface to prevent the virus from entering a person’s cells. There is an urgent need for host-directed small molecule therapies that may be effective against multiple strains of ebolavirus, less likely to be impacted by viral mutation, and that are easy to store, distribute and administer, especially in areas where healthcare services and infrastructures may be sub-optimal.

About Opaganib (ABC294640)

Opaganib is a proprietary first-in-class investigational, orally administered sphingosine kinase-2 (SPHK2) selective inhibitor drug. Potentially broad-acting, it is in development for multiple oncology, viral, inflammatory, metabolic (diabetes and obesity) and additional indications.

Opaganib's suggested mechanism of action, published in the journal Drug Design, Development and Therapy, is host-directed and potentially broad-acting and is expected to maintain its effect against emerging viral variants. Opaganib is thought to work through the inhibition of multiple pathways, the induction of autophagy and apoptosis, and disruption of viral replication, through simultaneous inhibition of three sphingolipid-metabolizing enzymes in human cells (SPHK2, DES1 and GCS).

Opaganib has received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for the treatment of neuroblastoma and cholangiocarcinoma. A Bayer-supported 80-patient placebo-controlled randomized Phase 2 study is ongoing to evaluate the efficacy of opaganib in combination with Bayer's darolutamide in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), testing the potentially enhancing effect of opaganib in patients with a poor prognosis^[9]. Opaganib also has a Phase 1 chemoradiotherapy study protocol ready for FDA-IND submission.

Opaganib has demonstrated its safety and tolerability profile in more than 470 participants in multiple clinical studies and expanded access use, including a large global Phase 2/3 study in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19, published in Microorganisms².
