BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) has received a Notice of Allowance from the Japan Patent Office for its novel liquid formulation of terlipressin acetate. This formulation, which is stable at room temperature for up to 24 months, can be packaged in a pre-filled syringe, offering significant advantages for treating patients with cirrhosis and ascites, particularly in home-care settings.
The company has now secured patents for this formulation in the United States, India, Japan, and Chile, with pending applications in eight additional markets. This development strengthens BioVie's intellectual property protection and enhances the value of its BIV201 program, which aims to provide a more patient-centric ambulatory treatment for ascites and hepatic failure.
Terlipressin is currently used in over 40 countries to treat complications of liver cirrhosis, but the recent US approval is for a lyophilized powder form requiring reconstitution and refrigeration. BioVie's liquid formulation offers improved convenience and safety, potentially benefiting patients with cirrhosis and ascites, who currently face treatment options and poor survival rates.

BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) has received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for a patent application covering a novel liquid formulation of terlipressin acetate. This formulation demonstrates room-temperature stability for up to 24 months and can be packaged in a pre-filled syringe. The patent is expected to be listed in the Orange Book and supports BioVie's development of a more patient-centric ambulatory treatment for patients with ascites and hepatic failure.
The liquid formulation offers significant advantages over the recently approved lyophilized powder form of terlipressin in the US, which requires reconstitution and refrigerated storage. BioVie's formulation could improve dosing convenience and safety, particularly in home-care settings. The company has also secured patents for this formulation in India and Chile, with applications pending in nine additional markets.

BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) has secured all scientific approvals needed to receive an additional $12.6 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Defense for a planned Phase 2 trial of bezisterim in long COVID. The U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, Office of Human Research Oversight (OHRO) approved BioVie's plan to evaluate bezisterim for treating neurological symptoms associated with long COVID. This approval follows the FDA's Safe to Proceed designation in August 2024.
The Phase 2 study, expected to commence by early 2025, will be a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving approximately 200 patients to assess the safety, tolerability, and potential efficacy of bezisterim in reducing neurocognitive symptoms of long COVID over a 3-month treatment period. Bezisterim, which can cross the blood-brain barrier, targets inflammation via NF-kB activation, addressing a suspected underlying cause of long COVID symptoms.
BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) has received FDA authorization for its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to evaluate bezisterim in a Phase 2 trial for treating neurological symptoms associated with long COVID. This milestone puts BioVie on track to receive an additional $12.6 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Defense and initiate the trial. The planned study will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial involving approximately 200 patients to assess the safety and efficacy of bezisterim over a 3-month treatment period.
Long COVID affects about 5.5% of U.S. adults, with approximately 3.6 million people reporting significant activity modifications due to the illness. Bezisterim's potential to modulate inflammation by activating NF-kB and its ability to permeate the blood-brain barrier make it a promising candidate for addressing the underlying mechanisms of long COVID symptoms.
BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) presented clinical data on bezisterim at the 11th Aging Research and Drug Discovery Meeting, revealing its potential to modulate inflammation and the biological aging process. Key findings include:
1. Patients treated with bezisterim experienced a 2-4 year age deceleration advantage compared to placebo.
2. Bezisterim modulated DNA methylation of proinflammatory genes and appeared to promote the transition of M1 proinflammatory to M2 anti-inflammatory macrophages.
3. The drug was associated with a 1.5 to 2.3 'fold enrichment' on gene control for hundreds of genes in pathways linked to neurodegenerative disorders and biological processes.
These results suggest bezisterim's potential to impact various age-related diseases and inflammation-related conditions.
