Current report

BioVie Inc. (the “Company” or “we” or “our”) is a clinical-stage company developing innovative drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver disease.

Current report

The Phase 2 study of bezisterim (NE3107) for the treatment of PD (NCT05083260), completed in December 2022, was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics study in PD participants treated with carbidopa/levodopa and bezisterim (NE3107). Forty-five patients with a defined L-dopa “off state” were randomized 1:1 to placebo: bezisterim (NE3107) 20 mg twice daily for 28 days. This trial was launched with two design objectives: 1) the primary objective was safety and a drug-drug interaction study as requested by the FDA to measure the potential for adverse interactions of bezisterim (NE3107) with carbidopa/ levodopa; and 2) the secondary objective was to determine if preclinical indications of promotoric activity and apparent enhancement of levodopa activity could be seen in humans. Both objectives were met.

Current report

To extend this Phase 2 data in progressed patients, the Company has designed a new Phase 2 study of bezisterim (NE3107) as a potential first line therapy to treat patients with new onset PD. In July 2024, the Company submitted the new protocol and received a response from the FDA which permitted the Company to proceed with the study. The trial commenced in April 2025.

Current report

In April 2024, the Company was awarded a clinical trial grant of $13.1 million from the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”), awarded through the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. In August 2024, the FD&A and the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, Office of Human Research Oversight (“OHRO”) approved the Company’s plan, including the FDA approving the associated Investigation New Drug Application (“IND”), to evaluate bezisterim for the treatment of neurological symptoms that are associated with long COVID. The trial commenced in May 2025.

Current report

In liver disease, our investigational drug candidate BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin), which has been granted both FDA Fast Track designation status and FDA Orphan Drug status, is being evaluated as a treatment option for patients suffering from ascites and other life-threatening complications of advanced liver cirrhosis caused by non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatitis, and alcoholism. The initial target for BIV201 therapy was refractory ascites. These patients suffer from frequent life-threatening complications, generate more than $5 billion in annual treatment costs, and have an estimated 50% mortality rate within 6 to 12 months.

Current report

After receiving guidance from the FDA regarding the design of Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201 for the treatment of patients with cirrhosis and ascites, the Company is now targeting a broader ascites patient population. The Company is currently finalizing the protocol design for the Phase 3 study of BIV201 with a focus on demonstrating clinical benefit through a composite primary endpoint of complications and disease progression in patients with cirrhosis and ascites who have recently recovered from acute kidney injury (“AKI”). This patient population is not limited to those having refractory ascites. BIV201 is administered as a patent-pending liquid formulation with patents issued in US, China, Japan, Chile and India to date.

Current report

On November 29, 2023, the Company announced the analysis of its unblinded, topline efficacy data from its Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT04669028) of bezisterim in the treatment of mild to moderate AD. The study had co-primary endpoints looking at cognition using the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Scale (ADAS-Cog 12) and function using the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). Patients were randomly assigned, 1:1 versus placebo, to receive sequentially 5 mg of bezisterim orally twice a day for 14 days, then 10 mg orally twice a day for 14 days, followed by 26 weeks of 20 mg orally twice daily.

Current report

Upon trial completion, as the Company began the process of unblinding the trial data, the Company found significant deviation from protocol and current good clinical practices (“cGCPs”) violations at 15 study sites (virtually all of which were from one geographic area). This highly unusual level of suspected improprieties led the Company to exclude all patients from these sites and to refer the sites to the FDA Office of Scientific Investigations (“OSI”) for potential further action. After the patient exclusions, 81 patients remained in the Modified Intent to Treat population, 57 of whom were in the Per-Protocol population which included those who completed the trial and were verified to take study drug from pharmacokinetic data.

Current report

The trial was originally designed to be 80% powered with 125 patients in each of the treatment and placebo arms. The unplanned exclusion of so many patients left the trial underpowered for the primary endpoints. In the Per-Protocol population, which included those patients who completed the trial and who were further verified to have taken the study drug (based on pharmacokinetic data), an observed descriptive change from baseline appeared to suggest a slowing of cognitive loss; these same patients experienced an advantage in age deceleration vs. placebo as measured by DNA epigenetic change. Age deceleration is used by longevity researchers to measure the difference between the patient’s biological age, in this case as measured by the Horvath DNA methylation Skin Blood Clock, relative to the patient’s actual chronological age. This test was a non-primary/secondary endpoint, other-outcome measure, done via blood test collected at week 30 (end of study). Additional DNA methylation data continues to be collected and analyzed.

Current report

The net loss for the year ended June 30, 2025, was approximately $17.5 million as compared to the net loss of $32.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2024. The net decrease of $14.6 million was primarily attributed to decline in research and development expenses of $13.8 million, and a net increase in other income, net of approximately $465,000.

Current report

Total operating expenses for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $18.1 million and $32.2, respectively. The net decrease of approximately $14.1 million was primarily due to the decrease in research and development expenses as a result of the completion of clinical trials in the prior fiscal year.

Current report

Research and development expenses were approximately $9.3 million and $23.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $13.8 million reduction was primarily attributed to the completion of the clinical studies in the prior fiscal year and comprised of a declines in direct study costs of approximately $7.4 million, and the related expenses such as the clinical team payroll of approximately $1.4 million, and consultants expenses of approximately $3.0 million, reflecting a declining use of consultants and a reduction in the use of regulatory and other consultants totaling approximately $496,000. Other decreases included a decrease in Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (“CMC”) and new drug discovery totaling approximately $1.2 million, and a decrease in travel & conferences of approximately $123,000, as well as publications of approximately $166,000.

Current report

The decrease in clinical studies of approximately $7.4 million represented the net decrease in clinical trial studies expense of approximately $10.8 million due to the completion of the clinical trials in the prior fiscal year offset primarily by the planning, development and launch of the two new clinical studies, Sunrise PD Phase 2 and Long Covid Program, totaling approximately $3.3 million. The table below summarizes the approximate expense amounts for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 by study:

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2025, was approximately $8.6 million and was comparable to approximately $8.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2024. The net fluctuations in expenses were primarily comprised of decreases in stock-based compensation for the executive team and directors of approximately $436,000 and $595,000, respectively, and investor and public relation fees of $210,000, offset by increases in directors’ cash compensation of approximately $101,000, other professional and consultancy fees of approximately $582,000, legal fees of approximately $468,000, and audit and accounting fees of approximately $82,000.

Current report

In October 2024, the Company closed three registered direct offerings totaling 825,600 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and two concurrent private placements of warrants to purchase up to 711,000 shares of Common Stock (the “October Common Warrants”) priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules at prices ranging from $15.00 to $28.30 per share (the “October Offerings”). The October Common Warrants have exercise prices ranging from $13.70 to $21.20 per share and are exercisable beginning six months following issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary date of the original issuance dates. The gross proceeds to the Company from the October Offerings totaled approximately $15.9 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses of approximately $2.5 million. Additionally, upon closing of the October Offerings, the Company issued placement agent warrants (the “October Placement Agent’s Warrants”) to purchase 41,321 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate exercisable at a per share price ranging from $18.80 to $35.40, which was equal to 125% of the offering price per share in the applicable October Offering. The October Placement Agent’s Warrants are exercisable during a five-year period commencing 180 days from each of the respective closing dates of the October Offerings.

About Inflammation and Bezisterim’s (NE3107’s) Mechanism of Action

Previous report

Parallels exist between AD and PD, among them activated microglia driving inflammation, involvement of TNFα, oxidative stress, protein misfolding, mitochondrial dysfunction, and insulin resistance. In preclinical and clinical studies, bezisterim (NE3107) reduced inflammation and enhanced insulin sensitivity, both of which are important to PD pathology. Preclinical studies in marmoset monkeys have shown bezisterim (NE3107) administered alone to be as pro-motoric as levodopa, underscoring the apparently critical role of inflammation in expression of PD motor symptoms. When bezisterim (NE3107) was administered with levodopa, the combination improved motor control better than either drug alone. Furthermore, in the marmoset study, bezisterim (NE3107) reduced the severity of LID concurrent with pro-motoric benefit and decreased neurodegeneration, preserving twice as many dopaminergic neurons compared to control.

Previous report

In April 2024, the Company announced the grant of a clinical trial award of up to $13.1 million from the U.S. Department of Defense, awarded through the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. The award can provide up to 2 years of non-dilutive funding for a Phase 2 clinical trial that will assess bezisterim (NE3107) for the treatment of neurological symptoms that are associated with long COVID. The Company anticipates the trial to commence by early 2025. The study protocol has been finalized and submitted to the FDA for regulatory review in July 2024. The FDA notified the Company that the study can proceed on August 22, 2024.

Previous report

Long COVID is a condition in which symptoms of COVID-19, the acute respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, persist for an extended period of time, generally three months or more. The Centers for Disease Control recently reported that 6.8% of adults in the United States (more than 17 million individuals) currently or previously had long COVID. Symptoms, which include fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and sleep disturbances, are debilitating. The loss in quality of life and earnings and increased medical costs has an enormous economic impact estimated to be 3.7 trillion dollars. To date there are no therapies proven effective for treatment.

Previous report

Chronic inflammation is one of the main hypotheses that researchers have proposed to explain the persistence of symptoms in long COVID. Specifically in individuals with “brain fog,” sustained systemic inflammation and persistent localized blood-brain-barrier (“BBB”) dysfunction are key physiological features. Bezisterim (NE3107) permeates the BBB and has been shown to modulate inflammation via the inhibition of NF-kB activation, thus representing a novel oral treatment targeting an underlying cause of long COVID symptoms.

Previous report

The net loss was approximately $33.0 million and $50.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in net loss of approximately $17.3 million was comprised of a net decrease in research and development expenses of approximately $10.2 million and selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.7 million, and further reduced by an increase in interest income of approximately $574,000, a reduction in interest expense of approximately $1.4 million and the reduction in the fair value of derivative liabilities of approximately $3.3 million.

Previous report

Total operating expenses were approximately $32.2 million and $45.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The net decrease of approximately $12.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2024, was comprised of a decrease in research and development expenses of approximately $10.2 million and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.7 million.

Previous report

Research and development expenses were approximately $23.1 million and $33.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The net decrease of approximately $10.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2024, was primarily attributed to a reduction in expenses totaling approximately $13.8 million due to the completion of clinical studies, offset by increased expenses of approximately $3.6 million primarily comprised of the planning and development of new studies of approximately $836,000 which included the development of Sunrise 1 PD PH2b and Radiance 1 AD MCI Ph2b/3 studies which have been put on hold in the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30,2024 pending financing and were designed to be large potentially registrational studies. an increase in Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (“CMC”) expense of approximately $1.0 million for drug production and development, an increase in clinical team compensation from the clinical team expansion and the use of consultants totaling approximately $732,000 and $474,000, respectively, and other increases in regulatory and other consultants of approximately $362,000 and publications and travel of approximately $187,000. The decreased expenses from completed clinical studies of approximately $13.8 million were comprised of approximately $2.7 million from Ascites BIV201 Phase 2b study, approximately $2.1 million from the PD Phase 2 study, both studies were completed in the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, approximately $238,000 from the Investigator-Initiated Trial in MCI and Mild Alzheimer’s Disease, and approximately $8.8 million from the AD pivotal Phase 3 clinical study that completed on December 31, 2023.

Previous report

The following summarizes the expenses incurred during the fiscal years ending June 30, 2024 and 2023 for new developmental studies and the completed studies:

Previous report

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $8.8 million and $11.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net decrease of approximately $2.7 million was primarily attributed to decreased stock and cash compensation of approximately $2.8 million of the executives and directors, and a decline in investor relations fees of approximately $396,000, offset by insurance expense of approximately $248,000 and legal fees of approximately $306,000.

Previous report

On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with Cantor, pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time-to-time shares of the Company’s Common Stock through Cantor, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 333,749 shares of its Common Stock under the ATM Agreement with Cantor for total net proceeds of approximately $9.3 million after 3% commissions and cost totaling approximately $377,000.

Concentration of Credit Risk in the Financial Service Industry

Previous report

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

Investments in U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities greater than three months, are accounted for as available for sale and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains were included in other comprehensive income in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Previous report

We determine the fair values of our financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and establishes that the fair value of an asset or liability shall be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Previous report

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Previous report

Level 2 - Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Previous report

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs based on our assumptions.
Reworded paragraphs (6)

Previous wording

The Company acquired the biopharmaceutical assets of NeurMedix a privately held clinical-stage pharmaceutical company and a related party in June 2021*.* The acquired assets included NE3107. In April 2024, the Company announced that the United States Adopted Names Council, and the World Health Organization International Nonproprietary Names expert committee had approved “bezisterim” as the non-proprietary (generic) name for NE3107. Bezisterim (NE3107) is an investigational, novel, orally administered small molecule that is thought to inhibit inflammation-driven insulin resistance and major pathological inflammatory cascades with a novel mechanism of action. There is emerging scientific consensus that both inflammation and insulin resistance may play fundamental roles in the development of AD and PD, and bezisterim (NE3107) could, if approved by FDA, represent an entirely new medical approach to treating these devastating conditions affecting an estimated 6 million Americans suffering from AD and 1 million Americans suffering from PD.

Current wording

The Company acquired the biopharmaceutical assets of NeurMedix, Inc. (“NeurMedix”) a privately held clinical-stage pharmaceutical company and a related party in June 2021. The acquired assets included NE3107 (or “bezisterim”). Bezisterim, the approved generic name for NE3107 is an investigational, novel, orally administered small molecule that is thought to inhibit inflammation-driven insulin resistance and major pathological inflammatory cascades with a novel mechanism of action. There is emerging scientific consensus that both inflammation and insulin resistance may play fundamental roles in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) and Parkinson’s disease (“PD”), and bezisterim could, if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), represent an entirely new medical approach to treating these devastating conditions affecting an estimated 6 million Americans suffering from AD, 1 million Americans suffering from PD and Long COVID affects approximately 20 million adults in the US, and millions more worldwide.

Previous wording

Parkinson’s disease (PD), which affects an estimated 1 million Americans, is driven in large part by neuroinflammation and activation of brain microglia, leading to increased proinflammatory cytokines (particularly TNF). Multiple daily administrations of levodopa (converted to dopamine in the brain) is the current standard of care treatment for this movement disorder, but levodopa effectiveness diminishes over time necessitating increased dosage and prolonged daily administration leads to side effects of uncontrolled movements called levodopa-induced dyskinesia, commonly referred to as LID, which is exacerbated by high dose levodopa. Although levodopa provides symptomatic benefit, it does not slow PD progression.

Other income, net was approximately $59,000 compared to other expense, net of $5.2 million, for the year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net increase in other income of approximately $5.2 million was primarily driven by the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of approximately $3.3 million, reduction in interest expense of approximately $1.4 million due to amortization and accretion of the financing costs, unearned discount, and premium relating to the note payable, and an increase in interest income of approximately $574,000 from the investment in U.S. Treasury Bills.

Current wording

Other income, net was approximately $524,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to approximately $59,000 for the year ended June 30, 2024. The net increase in other income of approximately $465,000 was comprised of a decrease in the change in fair value of the related derivative liabilities of approximately $1.8 million, offset by the decline in interest expense, net $2.6 million due to the payoff of the notes payable on December 1, 2024 and decline in interest income of approximately $284,000.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of approximately $14.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $23.8 million, stockholders’ equity of approximately $15.5 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $334.2 million. Additionally, the Company had a net loss of approximately $32.1 million and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $27.9 million during the year ended June 30, 2024. In addition, the Company has not generated any revenues to date and no revenues are expected in the foreseeable future. The Company’s future operations are dependent on the success of the Company’s ongoing development and commercialization efforts, as well as its ability to secure additional financing as needed. Projected cash flows could be extended if further measures are taken to delay planned expenditures in our research protocols and slow the progress in the Company’s development and launch of next phase clinical programs.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

Neuroinflammation, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress are common features in the major neurodegenerative diseases, including AD, PD, frontotemporal lobar dementia, and ALS. Bezisterim (NE3107) is an orally bioavailable, blood-brain permeable, small molecule, with potential anti-inflammatory, insulin sensitizing, and ERK-binding properties that may allow it to selectively inhibit ERK-, NFκB- and TNF-stimulated inflammation. Bezisterim’s (NE3107’s) potential to inhibit neuroinflammation and insulin resistance forms the basis for the Company’s work testing the molecule in AD and PD patients.
