BioVie Inc (NASDAQ:BIVI, NASDAQ:BIVIW) said its drug candidate bezisterim met the prespecified endpoints of a Phase 2 trial in early-stage Parkinson's disease, with patients showing improvements in blood-based inflammatory markers and a range of clinical outcomes compared with placebo. The SUNRISE-PD trial was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with early-stage Parkinson's disease who had not previously been treated with carbidopa/levodopa.

Patients treated with bezisterim demonstrated statistically significant improvements compared to placebo on both motor and non-motor symptoms, as assessed by MDS-UPDRS 1 Parts I, II, and III, as well as a composite endpoint comprising 15 clinically relevant measures. Bezisterim treatment appeared to have a beneficial impact on plasma biomarkers of neurodegeneration and reduced biomarkers of both neuro- and systemic-inflammation.
