CARSON CITY, Nev., June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioVie Inc., (NASDAQ: BIVI) (“BioVie” or the “Company”) a clinical-stage company developing innovative drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver disease, today announced that a poster highlighting the decentralized design and patient experience of its Phase 2 SUNRISE-PD clinical trial evaluating bezisterim (NE3107) in early Parkinson’s disease will be presented in poster session at the upcoming Adv ...

Core Viewpoint - BioVie Inc. is advancing its clinical-stage drug candidate bezisterim (NE3107) for the treatment of early Parkinson's disease, with a Phase 2 clinical trial named SUNRISE-PD set to present findings at the IAPRD 2025 conference in New York City [1][2]. Company Overview - BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) focuses on developing innovative drug therapies for neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and long COVID, as well as advanced liver disease [13]. - The company's lead candidate, bezisterim, is designed to modulate inflammation and enhance insulin sensitivity without immunosuppressive effects, potentially addressing multiple disease indications [8][13]. Clinical Trial Details - The SUNRISE-PD trial is a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study lasting 20 weeks, evaluating bezisterim's safety and efficacy in patients with early Parkinson's disease [3][4]. - Patients can participate either from home or at clinical sites, with remote supervision by neurologists during assessments [4]. Parkinson's Disease Context - Parkinson's disease is characterized by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons, leading to motor and non-motor symptoms that significantly impact patients' quality of life [5]. - Traditional treatments like levodopa have limitations, including long-term complications such as motor fluctuations and dyskinesia [6]. Mechanism of Action - Bezisterim targets chronic inflammation and insulin resistance, which are linked to the progression of Parkinson's disease, by modulating neuroinflammation and metabolic dysfunctions [7][8]. Expected Outcomes - Topline data from the SUNRISE-PD trial is anticipated in late 2025 or early 2026, with previous studies indicating bezisterim's potential to improve motor control and reduce adverse events when combined with levodopa [9][10].
