ITEM 8.01

Other Events

On April 7, 2026, Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) reported that it has voluntarily withdrawn its marketing authorization application (“MAA”) for VIOKAT prolonged-release tablets (diazoxide choline), which is marketed in the United States as VYKAT^TM XR, its medicinal product for the treatment of adults and children aged 4 years and older with Prader-Willi syndrome (“PWS”) who experience hyperphagia. The Company had previously announced that the application has been under review by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), with a decision expected in mid-2026.

The Company’s decision to withdraw the MAA is based on business and strategic considerations. Withdrawal of the application preserves the Company’s ability to re-engage with regulators at a later date should there be an appropriate pathway to progress the program.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for the factual statements made herein, information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K consists of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words and expressions reflecting optimism, satisfaction or disappointment with current prospects or future events, as well as words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans” and similar expressions, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and actual actions or events could differ materially from those contained in such statements. For example, there can be no assurance that the Company will re-engage with the EMA. Reference is also made to other factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Company assumes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in information, events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, unless required by law.
