With no medications approved by the FDA specifically to treat ascites, the prognosis for these patients is very poor. Certain drugs which have been approved for other medical conditions (such as diuretics) combined with a salt restricted diet usually provide symptomatic relief in the initial stages of the disease. But as the ascites worsens their efficacy often diminishes. BioVie is working on a solution to address this critical unmet medical need.
Julie G. Anderson, Director. Anderson most recently served Catheter Connections, Inc. as its Vice President of Marketing until the company was sold last month. Previously she was Senior Director of Marketing for Durata Therapeutics, Inc., playing a key role in helping build the infrastructure and commercialization plan necessary to launch the novel antibiotic Dalvance. The team's efforts led to an acquisition of the company in 2014 by Actavis (now Allergan) in a deal valued at about $675 million. Prior to Durata, Julie worked for Sanofi-Synthelabo, Inc., Bayer Pharmaceuticals, and G.D. Searle in various marketing leadership positions. She originally trained as a nurse and earned a Masters of Management at the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University. As a critical care nurse, Julie treated patients at risk of death due to complications caused by chronic liver cirrhosis, and deeply understands the unmet medical need targeted by BioVie.
