Phase 3 asset and first-in-class molecule targeting Alzheimer’s Disease
CEO Interview
Advancing Mid- and Late-Stage Drug Candidates for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
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.

Overview
People-Centered Science for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Ascites
Significant Catalysts
BioVie poised for significant catalysts in 2022
Data read outs from Ascites Phase 2 and Parkinson’s Phase 2 anticipated during the first half of 2022.
Read out from Alzheimer’s Phase 3 anticipated by the end of 2022.
Multiple other efforts underway that may create additional catalysts as early as 4Q21 and will be announced publicly when the company deems appropriate.
Pipeline
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 end of 2022.
$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
NE3107 was equally pro-motoric as levodopa in MPTP marmosets, decreased the severity of levodopa induced dyskinesia (LID), and preserved twice as many neurons when compared to untreated in preclinical studies.
Phase 2 trial expected to start 4Q21; data readout anticipated 2Q22.
$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 AEs in trials thus far.
Phase 2b underway with data readout anticipated early 2022. Phase 3 for HRS-AKI planned for 2022.
$1.3+ billion global peak sales potential.
