Exhibit 99.1
Replimune Announces Planned RP1 BLA Resubmission Following Productive
Discussion with FDA
WOBURN, Mass., May 29, 2026 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) - Replimune Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: REPL), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel
oncolytic immunotherapies, today announced that following collaborative communications with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
the Company and the FDA have aligned on a path forward for resubmission and reconsideration of the Biologics License Application (BLA)
for RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec) in combination with nivolumab for the treatment of advanced melanoma.
The company will resubmit the RP1 BLA in the coming days. The FDA has
indicated it will treat the BLA resubmission as an urgent matter upon receipt and will prioritize its review in recognition of the significant
unmet need for patients in the advanced melanoma community. This constructive dialogue represents an important step forward for the thousands
of patients living with advanced melanoma who have progressed on prior anti-PD-1 based therapy and have limited treatment options available
to them.
"We are grateful to the FDA leadership for their willingness to
engage in a collaborative dialogue towards finding a meaningful path forward for RP1," said Sushil Patel, Ph.D., Chief Executive
Officer of Replimune. "We are encouraged by the agency's commitment to supporting patients and U.S. innovation and look forward to
working closely with the FDA to bring this important therapy to the advanced melanoma community as swiftly as possible."
The BLA is supported by data from the IGNYTE clinical trial, which
evaluated RP1 combined with nivolumab in patients with confirmed progression on an anti-PD-1 containing regimen. Approximately 8,500 Americans
with advanced melanoma die each year, and standard of care checkpoint inhibitor therapy fails approximately half of all patients who receive
it, underscoring the urgent need for new treatment options.
About RP1
RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec) is Replimune's
lead product candidate, based on a proprietary strain of herpes simplex virus engineered and genetically armed with a fusogenic protein
(GALV-GP R⁻) and GM-CSF. RP1 is designed to maximize tumor killing potency, the immunogenicity of tumor cell death, and the
activation of a systemic anti-tumor immune response.
About Advanced Melanoma
Melanoma is the fifth most common cancer in the United States, with
approximately 112,000 new cases estimated in 2026 and the most lethal form of skin cancer, accounting for nearly 8,500 deaths annually.
Melanoma is considered advanced when the cancer has spread beyond the primary tumor. Standard of care therapy includes immune checkpoint
blockade, to which approximately half of patients will not respond or will progress after treatment, leaving a significant population
in need of effective therapeutic alternatives.
About Replimune
Replimune Group, Inc., headquartered in Woburn, MA, was founded in
2015 with the mission to transform cancer treatment by pioneering the development of novel oncolytic immunotherapies. Replimune’s
proprietary RPx platform is based on a potent HSV-1 backbone intended to maximize immunogenic cell death and the induction of a systemic
anti-tumor immune response. The RPx platform is intended to ignite local activity consisting of direct selective virus-mediated killing
of the tumor resulting in the release of tumor derived antigens and altering of the tumor microenvironment to then activate a strong and
durable systemic response. The RPx product candidates are expected to be synergistic with most established and experimental cancer treatment
modalities, leading to the versatility to be developed alone or combined with a variety of other treatment options. For more information,
