About Bezisterim
Bezisterim (NE3107) is an oral drug that crosses the blood-brain barrier and works to reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity without suppressing the immune system and with a low risk of drug-drug interactions. By modulating key pathways involved in neuroinflammation (ERK, NFκB, TNF-α), bezisterim may have therapeutic potential in several disease indications, including Parkinson’s disease, Long COVID, and Alzheimer’s disease.
In Parkinson’s disease, BioVie has already completed a Phase 2 study that showed patients with moderate- to severe Parkinson’s taking bezisterim with levodopa had better motor control and fewer morning symptoms compared to those taking levodopa alone. Few drug-related side effects were observed. The current SUNRISE-PD just completed enrolling 60 patients to evaluate whether bezisterim alone can help improve motor and non-motor symptoms for Parkinson’s patients who have not been treated with carbidopa/levodopa. Topline results are expected in mid‑2026.
For Long COVID, the ADDRESS-LC trial is enrolling about 200 patient to evaluate if bezisterim can reduce brain fog, fatigue, and other lingering neurological symptoms associated with Long Covid, which are believed to be triggered by persistent circulation of spike protein fragments that trigger inflammation via NFκB activation (which bezisterim has been shown to modulate). Topline data is expected mid-2026.
In Alzheimer’s disease, BioVie has conducted both Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials. Early results suggest improvements in cognition and biomarkers, supporting further trials to evaluate its potential as a therapy for the six million Americans living with Alzheimer’s.
About BioVie Inc.
BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for neurological disorders and advanced liver disease. Its lead candidate, bezisterim (NE3107), targets neuroinflammation and insulin resistance, which are believed to be key drivers of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Bezisterim is also being studied for long COVID, where persistent inflammation is thought to underlie symptoms such as brain fog and fatigue.
In liver disease, BioVie is advancing BIV201, a continuous infusion of terlipressin treatment that has received FDA Orphan and Fast Track designations. The active agent is approved in the U.S. and in about 40 countries for related complications of advanced liver cirrhosis, and the Company plans to study BIV201 in a Phase 3 trial for the reduction of further decompensation in patients with cirrhosis and ascites.

1. U.S. equities gained over the week, while crypto assets declined, reflecting a divergence in risk appetite. From October 3 to 9, the S&P 500 rose 1.15% and the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.24%, while BTC, ETH, and SOL fell 2.31%, 6.84%, and 7.99%, respectively. The U.S. Dollar Index advanced 0.27%, and although the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declined 3.3 basis points, it remained elevated at 5.244%. High funding costs therefore continued to weigh on risk asset valuations. 2. Weak employment data have not eliminated inflation concerns, while AI and on-chain finance face growing scrutiny over commercial viability. September nonfarm payrolls increased by just 29,000, yet the minutes of the Federal Reserve's September meeting still pointed to the possibility of further rate hikes before year-end. This week's CPI release and major bank earnings will provide important tests of growth and inflation pressures. Revenue recognition and reporting practices in AI, underlying asset rights in RWA, and operating costs for Layer 2 networks are also becoming increasingly important measures of commercial viability. 3. Bitget has completed its phased service restoration, while the Bitget Alliance Program continues to support clients' trading and capital management needs. We completed the planned restoration on October 2 and replenished the Protection Fund to more than $300 million on September 30. According to DefiLlama, assets tracked on the platform rebounded from approximately $5.647 billion on October 1 to $6.223 billion on October 11. This report also outlines VIP level protection, user rewards, and institutional fee incentives to help high-value clients plan their trading activities according to their account type. Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, PUMP, gold, JPM, BAC, and ASML. Key areas of focus this week: The October 14 U.S. CPI release; bank net interest income and credit costs; AI cash flow generation; and post-recovery trends in assets held on Bitget, settlement efficiency, and trading conditions. Market data are current through October 9 or the latest local trading day. Official announcements and promotion terms were reviewed through October 12.
