BioVie completed enrollment of 60 patients in its Phase 2 SUNRISE-PD clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of bezisterim on motor and non-motor symptoms in individuals with early-stage Parkinson's disease who have not been treated with carbidopa/levodopa. SUNRISE-PD explores whether bezisterim can affect the progression of Parkinson's symptoms in patients diagnosed with PD within the past four years who need treatment for their symptoms. The trial uses a hybrid, decentralized Phase 2 trial designed to reduce common barriers to participation in PD research, including delayed diagnosis, limited mobility, geographic constraints, and access to specialized care. The study's flexible design allows participants to complete their study visits either at home or in a clinic, improving access and flexibility while maintaining rigorous data quality and centralized oversight

Analyst Views on BIVI
About BIVI
BioVie Inc. is a clinical-stage company developing innovative drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver disease. In neurodegenerative disease, the Company's drug candidate bezisterim inhibits inflammatory activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and the transcription factor nuclear factor-kB, and the associated neuroinflammation and insulin resistance, but not ERK and NFkB homeostatic functions (such as insulin signaling and neuron growth and survival). Both neuroinflammation and insulin resistance are drivers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Persistent systematic inflammation and neuroinflammation are key features in patients with neurological symptoms of long COVID. In liver disease, the Company's orphan drug candidate BIV201, is being evaluated for Phase III clinical testing for the reduction of further decompensation in participants with liver cirrhosis and ascites.
