BioVie (BIVI) Plunges After Alzheimer’s Drug Fails Phase 3 Due to “Protocol Deviations” at Trial Sites – Hagens Berman

Key Takeaway: BioVie Inc. (BIVI) is facing significant backlash after its Phase 3 clinical trial for the Alzheimer’s drug, NE3107, failed due to major protocol deviations and Good Clinical Practice violations at multiple sites. After initially announcing the completion of the trial, the company disclosed findings of possible scientific misconduct during routine data monitoring. Subsequently, this led to the exclusion of patients from 15 sites, resulting in the trial missing its statistical significance. The revelations have severely impacted BioVie's stock price and raised investor concerns over the company's transparency and adherence to regulatory norms.

BioVie Inc. (BIVI) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on the propriety of BioVie’s disclosures concerning its adherence to Good Clinical Practice (“GCP”) and protocols related to its Phase 3 clinical trial of NE3107, a potential Alzheimer’s disease drug.
On Sep. 26, 2023, BioVie announced completion of the last treatment visit in its Phase 3 clinical trial of NE3107.
But on Nov. 8, 2023, BioVie shocked investors when it revealed that “during routine monitoring of blinded data from our Phase 3 study of […] NE3107, we uncovered what appears to be potential scientific misconduct and significant non-compliance with GCPs and regulations at six sites[]” and “[w]e have alerted the FDA’s Office of Scientific Integrity (‘OSI’) about these issues[.]”
Then, on Nov. 29, 2023, BioVie announced that the Phase 3 trial missed statistical significance “due to site exclusions” and blamed the miss on “significant deviation from protocol and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) violations at 15 sites” leading it to exclude all patients from these sites and referrals of them to the OSI.
On an event call, BioVie’s management suggested that the company became aware of Phase 3 deviations beginning as early as July 2023.
In response to these disclosures, the price of BioVie shares fell sharply.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and are investigating whether BioVie may have intentionally concealed GCP and protocol violations,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
