BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) has announced alignment with the FDA for its SUNRISE-PD trial to evaluate bezisterim (NE3107) in Parkinson's disease. The trial will assess the drug's effect on motor and non-motor symptoms in approximately 60 patients naive to carbidopa/levodopa. The FDA recommended including the MDS-UPDRS Part II score as a primary endpoint, which is already part of the trial design as a secondary endpoint. BioVie plans to initiate patient screening in Q4 2024. This Phase 2 study aims to explore bezisterim's impact on newly diagnosed patients, complementing earlier trials and potentially establishing its applicability for the entire Parkinson's patient population.

BioVie presented the upcoming SUNRISE-PD Phase 2 trial design at ATMRD 2024, evaluating bezisterim (NE3107) on motor and non-motor symptoms in early Parkinson's disease patients. The trial will involve 60 participants, randomized to receive either bezisterim or placebo for 12 weeks. Key objectives include assessing motor symptom improvements, non-motor symptoms, and overall PD symptoms. In parallel, they presented Phase 2a data showing bezisterim's potential as an adjunctive therapy to carbidopa/levodopa, with significant improvements in motor functions and non-motor symptoms like sleep and restlessness. These findings support further evaluation in a larger trial. If successful, participants may join a future long-term safety study.

BioVie (NASDAQ: BIVI), a clinical-stage company focused on neurological, neurodegenerative, and liver diseases, will host a live investor webinar on June 26, 2024, at 4:15 p.m. ET. The event, hosted by RedChip Companies, will feature CEO Cuong Do, discussing the company's clinical pipeline, including bezisterim (formerly NE3107). Bezisterim has shown promising results in reducing inflammation, insulin resistance, and improving symptoms in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

BioVie announced the formation of an Advisory Board to guide the Phase 2b trial of bezisterim for long COVID, funded by a $499,200 award from the U.S. Department of Defense. The board includes experts from UCSF and Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, and industry veterans.
The trial aims to evaluate bezisterim, an anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizer, for reducing neurocognitive symptoms in long COVID patients. The trial, involving 200 patients, will assess safety and efficacy over three months.
The Department of Defense may provide an additional $12.6 million upon successful completion of the planning phase and meeting specific milestones.
BioVie announced promising results from a Phase 2a trial of their drug bezisterim for Parkinson's disease. Data presented at the XXIX World Congress on Parkinson's Disease and Related Disorders showed that patients treated with bezisterim in combination with levodopa/carbidopa experienced significant improvements in both motor and non-motor symptoms compared to placebo. Notably, bezisterim-treated patients saw a -2.8 point improvement on the motor section of the MDS-UPDRS scale. For patients under 70, the improvement was -4.7 points. Additionally, bezisterim-treated patients showed significant gains in sleep/fatigue and leg restlessness symptoms. These findings suggest bezisterim's potential as an adjunct therapy, warranting further investigation in late-phase trials.
BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) secured up to $13.1 million from the U.S. Department of Defense for a Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating bezisterim (NE3107) in treating long COVID symptoms. Long COVID is a condition where symptoms persist post SARS-CoV-2 infection. The trial aims to assess the drug's effectiveness in reducing neurological symptoms associated with long COVID. Bezisterim, an anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizer capable of permeating the blood-brain barrier, targets inflammation, a key factor in long COVID. The trial is expected to begin in early 2025 and includes 200 patients.
