BioVersys Announces Publication of BV100 Phase 1 Clinical Data in Journal of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy

 

Basel, Switzerland. March 04, 2026, 7am CET

 

  • BV100 Phase 1, single- and multiple-ascending dose clinical trial data include pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability data.
  • BV100 demonstrated a dose-proportional pharmacokinetic profile and was generally safe and well tolerated.
  • BV100 global Phase 3 clinical trial is initiated with read-out expected in H2 2027.
  • Additional Phase 2b to demonstrate clinical differentiation and further de-risk BV100’s registrational path to be initiated in 2026 with interim data read-out expected end of 2026.

 

BioVersys AG (SIX: BIOV), a multi-asset, clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on research and development of novel antibacterial products for serious life-threatening infections caused by multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria, announced today, the publication of Phase 1, single- and multiple-ascending dose (SAD and MAD) clinical trial data including pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of BV100 in healthy volunteers in the Journal of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.[1]

BV100 is a novel intravenous formulation of rifabutin based on the newly identified mode of action for the active uptake of rifabutin into the Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex. BV100 is being developed for MDR hospital infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii, including carbapenem-resistant strains.

BV100 demonstrated a dose-proportional PK profile and was generally safe and well tolerated. Based on these positive results, BV100 doses of 200-300 mg administered every 12 hours have been evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial in Ventilator Associated Bacterial Pneumonia (VABP) patients, for treating carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) infections. BV100 demonstrated a clear survival benefit, resulting in a 50% relative reduction in all-cause mortality (ACM) in VABP patients suffering from CRAB infections compared with best available therapy (BAT), and was generally safe and well tolerated.

In December 2025, BV100 advanced into a global registration Phase 3 clinical trial (RIV-TARGET), in HABP/VABP patients suffering from CRAB infections, employing a similar  study design to the successful Phase 2 trial. The first patient is expected to be dosed in the coming weeks, and Phase 3 read-out is expected in H2 2027.

A global open-label Phase 2b clinical differentiation trial (RIV-CARE) will be initiated in H1 2026 and will compare BV100 with best available therapy in multiple geographies. Primary efficacy, safety and secondary endpoints will be similar to the Phase 3 trial described above. An interim analysis of the Phase 2b trial is expected towards end 2026.

Dr. Glenn E Dale, Chief Development Officer: “Multi-drug resistant infections, especially those acquired in a hospital setting are a rising medical problem across healthcare systems worldwide. Following the regulatory interactions we have had with the FDA and the CHMP, we continue to make progress with our antibiotic candidate, BV100. We are now advancing BV100 into global registrational study program with our two trials RIV-TARGET and RIV-CARE. As the RIV-CARE trial will be open-label, we are looking forward to first interim data towards end 2026.”

About BV100

BV100 is a novel formulation of rifabutin suitable for intravenous administration, with a recently discovered novel mode of action showing an active uptake of rifabutin into the Gram-negative bacterial species, Acinetobacter baumannii. For the first time, the BV100 allows for the targeting of the RNA-polymerase enzyme in Gram-negative bacteria with a human-suitable dose. BV100 is being developed for the treatment of infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii calcoaceticus complex (ABC), including Carbapenem-Resistant ABC (CRAB) in critically important indications of ventilator associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) and bloodstream infections (BSI). BV100 was granted QIDP Designation by the U.S. FDA in May 2019 for use in the treatment of VABP, HABP and BSI, making BV100 eligible for priority FDA review, Fast Track designation, and a five-year extension of market exclusivity upon approval of the first QIDP indication.

 

About Acinetobacter baumannii

Acinetobacter baumannii calcoaceticus complex (ABC) are Gram-negative bacteria found in the environment (e.g., in soil and water) and an opportunistic pathogen in humans, typically infecting critically ill and immunocompromised patients, that can result in severe pneumonia and bloodstream infections in addition to affecting other parts of the body. ABC is considered a significant worldwide threat in the healthcare setting given its ability to survive for prolonged periods on surfaces, combined with its ability to develop or acquire resistance to standard of care antibiotics, e.g. carbapenems. Carbapenem-resistance as well as multi-drug resistance (MDR) rates for ABC are among the highest recorded for any bacteria in current times (The Lancet 2022; 399: 629–55). Incidence and resistance rates for ABC are trending upwards and COVID-19 has exacerbated this significantly. BioVersys forecasts the annual number of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii infections in hospitals to have surpassed one million globally and due to the limited treatment options, such infections come with high (up to 50%) mortality rates.

NVision Establishes First Strategic European Hub at University of Cambridge to Advance Clinical Translation of Quantum-Enhanced Metabolic MRI

The installation of the POLARIS™ platform at the Department of Radiology at the University of Cambridge supports research in oncology, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disease.

ULM, Germany & CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom — March 3, 2026 — NVision, a quantum healthcare company, today announced the establishment of its first long-term research partnership in Europe at the Department of Radiology, University of Cambridge. This deployment creates a European research center for POLARIS, NVision’s proprietary system that produces the metabolic imaging agent for standard MRI.

This partnership follows a year of international expansion. In 2025, NVision collaborated with leading institutions, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, to demonstrate the feasibility of standardized, high-throughput metabolic imaging. Building on this momentum, NVision and researchers at Cambridge University’s Department of Radiology are now establishing a translational research pipeline with POLARIS, creating a direct route for quantum-enhanced diagnostics to move from the lab to the clinic.

“In 2025, we demonstrated that quantum in healthcare is a deployed reality. In 2026, we are integrating POLARIS into leading translational research environments,” said Sella Brosh, CEO of NVision. “Together with our partners at Cambridge, we have two objectives: to develop clinical applications for quantum-enhanced metabolic MRI that have the potential to radically improve patient outcomes, and to establish robust metabolic biomarkers that accelerate decision-making in drug development.”

POLARIS boosts the MRI signal of sugars over 10,000x through a process known as hyperpolarization, making it possible for standard MRI systems to “light up” and measure cell metabolism in real-time. It is the first commercially available quantum-based polarizer, using parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) to produce metabolic imaging agent in under three minutes. By visualizing disease activity in real-time, POLARIS empowers researchers to assess therapy effectiveness within days rather than months.

The Cambridge team will leverage the POLARIS platform to conduct research across cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases, with an initial focus on:

  • Liver Cancer: Despite being the third leading cause of cancer deaths globally, liver tumors remain difficult to characterize in cirrhotic tissue using standard imaging. The team aims to use POLARIS to reveal early metabolic changes in the liver before tumors form.
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS): While standard MRI captures blood–brain barrier leakage and lesion burden, it offers limited insight into lesion biology or ongoing tissue injury. POLARIS provides a direct functional readout of tissue metabolism, offering deeper insights to better guide treatment for the 3 million people living with MS worldwide.

Leading this initiative at the University of Cambridge are Ferdia Gallagher, Head of the Department of Radiology, and Joshua Kaggie, Director of the Preclinical Imaging Facility. Their team will use POLARIS to uncover the drivers of these conditions and inform the development and validation of new drugs.

“Our team is excited to be able to use POLARIS to probe the metabolism of diseases, particularly in cancer and within the brain,” said Professor Ferdia Gallagher. “Our aim is to detect early changes in metabolism as a predictor of tumor formation, as well as differentiating more aggressive from less aggressive disease based on specific metabolic fingerprints. We also want to explore how changes in metabolism with treatment can be used as a measure of early and successful response to treatment. Ultimately, we plan to translate these findings into the clinic to benefit patients in the future.”

NVision plans to deploy systems at leading global research centers throughout 2026, with the goal of beginning clinical studies next year.

About NVision Imaging

NVision Imaging was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Ulm, Germany. By leveraging advances in quantum physics, NVision enables real-time visualization of metabolism on standard MRI, aiming to set a new standard for faster drug development, earlier diagnosis, and better therapy decisions.

Alexandre Capet, Chief Executive Officer of MindMaze Therapeutics, stated, “Building on solid foundations, we are executing our roadmap to expand access to evidence-based neurotherapies and further deliver meaningful clinical benefits to patients across the continuum of care. Since completing our business combination and public listing, our priority has been disciplined execution, streamlining our portfolio and organization to concentrate on our priorities. In the United States, we are actively engaging with provider groups to broaden adoption of our platform. In Europe, we are advancing reimbursement-focused initiatives. In parallel, we are progressing pharmaceutical collaboration discussions. The operational momentum achieved to date positions us well to deliver continued meaningful progress throughout 2026.”

Commercial Expansion in the United States
Leveraging compelling real-world evidence and its unique reimbursement code for at-home utilization, MindMaze Therapeutics is advancing discussions with selected U.S.-wide provider groups and commercial partners to broaden the adoption of its platform. The Company is working toward the potential finalization of an agreement in the near term.

The Company has also initiated measures to strengthen its U.S.-based commercial organization, including recruitment efforts for field specialists and continued consolidation of medico-economic evidence supporting improved clinical outcomes and cost efficiency across neurological indications, notably through anticipated clinical readouts from ongoing studies conducted at Vibra Healthcare hospitals and Mount Sinai Hospital.

Advancing Market Access in Europe
MindMaze Therapeutics is advancing reimbursement-focused clinical initiatives in Europe, including the planned initiation, in the coming weeks, of SwissNeuroRehab and React-AVC studies. These initiatives are designed to further demonstrate the clinical and socio-economic benefits of the Company’s integrated neurotherapeutic platform compared to standard models of care and to support broader reimbursement and market access across European markets.

The Company’s solutions are already deployed across more than 100 hospitals and neurorehabilitation facilities in Europe, including leading academic centers.

Organizational Focus, Integration and Governance Update
Following the completion of its business combination, MindMaze Therapeutics has defined a structured integration plan to optimize its organization and portfolio. For selected non-core assets outside neurology, the Company is evaluating strategic alternatives, including potential outlicensing or disposal. The integration plan is designed to enhance capital efficiency, reinforce strategic focus and maximize shareholder value.

In this context, Gregory Van Beek and Michael Stünkel have stepped down from the Board of Directors. The Board thanks Mr. Van Beek and Mr. Stünkel for their contributions and support throughout the business combination and subsequent transition period. Proposals for the election of successor directors will be submitted at the next annual general meeting of shareholders.

DocMorris AG announces changes to its Board of Directors

DocMorris AG is planning personnel changes to the Board of Directors in view of the upcoming Annual General Meeting. Prof. Stefan Feuerstein, Dr Christian Mielsch and Rongrong Hu will not be standing for re-election. The Board of Directors proposes the election of Thomas Bucher, Dr Thomas Reutter and Nicole Formica-Schiller at the Annual General Meeting.

After many years of successful service to DocMorris, three current members of the Board of Directors, Prof. Stefan Feuerstein, Dr Christian Mielsch and Rongrong Hu, have decided to step down at the end of the Annual General Meeting on 12 May 2026. Stefan Feuerstein has played a key role in shaping the strategic development of the company, first as its long-standing Chairman and most recently as Vice-Chairman. Christian Mielsch has provided important impetus in strategic matters with his financial expertise. After many years of commitment, both wish to make room for new personal priorities and will not stand for re-election. Rongrong Hu has effectively contributed her international tech expertise and played a key role in strengthening DocMorris’ positioning. Due to a new professional commitment, she does not wish to continue her mandate on the Board of Directors.

In order to specifically complement the expertise of the Board and support the next phase of the company’s development, the Board of Directors proposes the election of the following independent individuals to the General Meeting:

Thomas Bucher (1966) has many years of international experience in the financial sector. From 2021 to 2025, he served as CFO of Archroma Management GmbH in Basel. Previously, he held CFO positions at Alpiq Holding AG in Lausanne and Gategroup AG in Zurich. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Swiss Post AG in Berne and Primeo Holding AG in Münchenstein. He studied economics at the University of St. Gallen and completed the INSEAD International Executive Program in Fontainebleau and Singapore.

Dr Thomas U. Reutter (1967) is an attorney at law with extensive expertise in M&A, capital markets and corporate governance. He has been a senior partner and co-founder of the law firm Advestra AG in Zurich since 2021. Prior to that, he spent 15 years as a partner at Bär & Karrer AG in Zurich, where he also led the capital markets practice and served on the executive board. He studied economics and law at the University of St. Gallen and holds a doctorate in law.

Nicole Formica-Schiller (1977) is an expert in AI and digitalisation, with proven experience in driving digital transformation. She combines in-depth knowledge of European AI regulation (EU AI Act) with strategic consulting for the healthcare industry, supporting the modernisation and digitalisation of, among others, the German healthcare system. Since 2016, she has served as CEO of Pamanicor Health AG in Zug, a global consulting firm she founded. She has held and continues to hold various board and expert committee positions, with a particular focus on AI and digital health. She is a fully qualified lawyer with a degree from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, complemented by an additional degree in economics.

With these candidates, DocMorris ensures that the Board of Directors continues to have a balanced mix of industry knowledge, digital expertise and corporate governance experience.

“We would like to express our sincere thanks to Stefan Feuerstein, Christian Mielsch and Rongrong Hu for their great commitment and valuable work for DocMorris. They have accompanied the company through crucial phases of transformation. At the same time, we are delighted to be able to propose three distinguished individuals for election in Thomas Bucher, Thomas Reutter and Nicole Formica-Schiller, who will ideally complement our Board of Directors with their specific experience,” says Walter Oberhänsli, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The invitation to the Annual General Meeting, including detailed profiles of the new candidates, will be published on 17 April 2026.

Guidance 2026 –– New Share Buyback Program

 

 

The Executive Board of Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft, Hamburg, today resolved – with the approval of the Supervisory Board – the business plan for the financial year 2026.

 

The slowing skin care market and the volatile economic environment have a negative impact on the short-term growth outlook for Beiersdorf’s Consumer business segment. Despite these challenges, Beiersdorf will continue to pursue important planned strategic investments in its brands to secure mid- and long-term value generation. Against this backdrop, the Executive Board expects the Consumer business segment’s sales for the 2026 financial year to be flat to slightly growing organically and the EBIT margin (excluding special factors) to be slightly below previous year’s level.

 

For the tesa business segment, sales are expected to be flat to slightly growing organically for the 2026 financial year and – also due to investments in strategic growth areas – the EBIT margin (excluding special factors) is expected to be slightly below previous year’s level. On this basis, the Executive Board expects the Group to achieve flat to slightly growing organic sales in the 2026 financial year and an operating EBIT margin (excluding special factors) slightly below previous year’s level.

 

In the previous year 2025, organic sales growth was 2.4% with an operating EBIT margin (excluding special factors) of 14.0% at the Group level. In line with market expectations, the Consumer business segment achieved an organic sales growth of 2.5% with an operating EBIT margin (excluding special factors) of 13.6% and the tesa business segment an organic sales growth of 1.8% with an operating EBIT margin (excluding special items) of 16.1%.

 

Furthermore, the Executive Board today resolved – with the approval of the Supervisory Board – to buy back shares in the Company in the amount of up to €750 million over the next two years. This follows the successful completion of the share buyback programs in 2024 and 2025.
 

The Company will announce further details on the new share buyback program in accordance with the statutory provisions before the start of the share buyback program. Treasury shares held by the Company will be cancelled to the extent necessary to carry out the share buyback program.
