BioVie to present Long COVID and Parkinson’s trial results at American Neurological Association meeting

BioVie Inc. reported that its experimental Parkinson's drug, bezisterim, improved motor and non-motor symptoms in early-stage patients with higher inflammation, according to Phase 2 SUNRISE-PD trial results. In the subgroup of 28 patients, those treated with bezisterim showed improvement, while placebo patients worsened slightly. Across all 57 patients, 25% on bezisterim saw meaningful improvement versus 4% on placebo.

BioVie Inc. (BIVI) reported Phase 2 trial results for bezisterim in early-stage Parkinson’s patients. In a subgroup with high inflammation, bezisterim improved motor and non-motor scores versus placebo. Overall, bezisterim patients were 6.25x more likely to show meaningful improvement. Adverse events were lower in the treatment group. The trial enrolled untreated patients using a hybrid design. BioVie focuses on neurological and liver disease therapies.

BioVie reported Phase 2 trial data showing bezisterim improved symptoms in Parkinson’s patients with higher platelet counts compared to placebo. Safety profiles were similar. The results were exploratory and require further Phase 3 trials for confirmation, according to the company.
