CARSON CITY, Nev., Oct. 23, 2024 (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, is pleased to invite investors to a webinar on November 7, 2024, at 4:15 p.m. ET.

The exclusive event, hosted by RedChip Companies, will feature Cuong Do, President and CEO of BioVie, who will share insights and developments on the Company's pipeline mid-to-late-stage clinical programs in Parkinson's disease (PD), long COVID (LC), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and ascites associated with advanced liver disease.

BioVie's lead asset, bezisterim (formerly NE3107), has demonstrated the ability to modulate TNFα production, leading to significant clinical improvements. In clinical studies, patients treated with bezisterim experienced reduced inflammation and insulin resistance, improved motor control and "morning on" symptoms in =PD, and slowing of cognitive decline and better brain imaging scans in AD as well as reduced DNA methylation levels. The Company's strategic priorities include launching a Phase 2b trial for PD in late 2024 or early 2025, launching an exploratory Phase 2 trial that has been fully funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) in LC in early 2025 and initiating a Phase 3 trial for AD in late 2025 with a new once-daily formulation of bezisterim. The Company is also continuing partnering discussions for bezisterim's geographic rights, and plans to commence an ascites Phase 3 trial for BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) upon identifying a suitable partner.

About BioVie Inc.
BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) is a clinical-stage company developing innovative drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders (Long COVID, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease) 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 (e.g., insulin signaling and neuron growth and survival). Both neuroinflammation and insulin resistance are drivers of AD and 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 (continuous infusion terlipressin), with FDA Fast Track status, is being evaluated and discussed with guidance received from the FDA regarding the design of Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201 for the reduction of further decompensation in participants with liver cirrhosis and ascites. The active agent is approved in the U.S. and in about 40 countries for related complications of advanced liver cirrhosis. For more information, visit
