Phase 3 asset and first-in-class molecule targeting Alzheimer’s Disease
CEO Interview
Data from Phase 2 Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Trials
Company Overview
BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) is a clinical-stage company developing what it believes will be transformative therapies to overcome unmet medical needs in neurodegeneration and liver disease. The Company is developing NE3107 for Alzheimer’s (AD) and Parkinson’s (PD) and BIV201 for refractory ascites and HRS-AKI.
Interview
Positive Aging Data from Alzheimer’s Trial

A Different Approach to Potentially Curing Alzheimer's
Read out from Alzheimer’s Phase 3 anticipated by mid-2023.
Interim data read outs from planned Parkinson’s Phase 3 expected in 2023.
Multiple other efforts underway that may create additional catalysts and will be announced publicly when the company deems appropriate.

Neurodegeneration
NE3107 is the only inhibitor of neuroinflammation and insulin resistance in Phase 3 clinical trials for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)
NE3107 reduced inflammation and insulin resistance in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study. Potential to address the two factors described as key drivers of cognitive decline in AD.
Phase 3 patient enrollment under way; ramping up 45 centers for trial; data readout anticipated by mid-2023.
$10+ billion annual peak sales potential.
NE3107 also being developed for Parkinson’s disease (PD) since neuroinflammation, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress are common features in AD and PD. Remarkable parallels exist between AD and PD with respect to underlying disease pathology
Positive Phase 2 data reported in Q4 2022 demonstrating improved motor control
Patients treated with NE3107 and levodopa saw a 3+ point advantage in motor control compared to those treated with levodopa alone; NE3107 patients younger than 70 years older saw twice that level of advanatage
88.9% of patients <70 years old treated with NE3107 and levodopa experienced greater than 30% part 3 score improvements from baseline
$3+ billion annual peak sales potential.
Among competitive molecules exploring neuroinflammation and AD, NE3107 is the only one that:
Has published randomized, double-blinded, placebo Phase 2 results potentially suggesting reduction in inflammation and insulin resistance in a major population, and warranting further review in Phase 3.
Potentially inhibits both overarching mechanisms of AD pathology – inflammation and insulin resistance.
Potentially inhibits proinflammatory pathways without impacting homeostasis.
Is in Phase 3 clinical development, which is expected to have topline results by the end of 2022.
Liver Disease
BIV201 is the only drug currently in development for refractory ascites, a condition with 50% mortality rate. It has the potential to become first therapy since there are no approved drugs in the US
BIV201 is a novel formulation of terlipressin for continuous infusion; Orphan and Fast Track designations received.
Data from Europe/Asia supports development of BIV201; no drug-related SAEs in trials thus far.
Phase 2b underway with data readout anticipated mid-2023.
$900 million global peak sales potential.
