The Congress is taking place between 25 th and 27 th September 2019 in Krakow, Poland. Biophytis’ clinical development plan for Sarconeos (BIO101) for the treatment of sarcopenia comprises: • SARA-PK, a Phase 1 clinical trial that showed safety and tolerability in older healthy volunteers. The trial completed in 2017. • SARA-OBS, an observational trial that was completed in Q2 2019 with the last patient out, and • SARA-INT, an ongoing international Phase 2b trial with a 6-month follow-up period that is currently recruiting patients in the US and Europe. The primary endpoint of the study is the 400-meter walking test gait speed. In his presentation Mr. Dioh will: • Outline the SARA-OBS study, which was designed to characterize, pre-recruit and confirm the optimal patient population for the SARA-INT trial, and • Provide data on the preliminary baseline characteristics and changes from baseline of the first set of SARA-OBS patients. In addition, insights on the SARA-INT recruitment strategies, including inclusion criteria, as well as the baseline characteristics of the first patients, will be discussed. The presentation will be made today at 2:30 PM CEST. **** Ab About out Sarcon rconeos ( (BIO1 O101) Biophytis’s lead drug candidate, Sarconeos (BIO101), is an orally administered small molecule for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases. Sarconeos (BIO101) is a plant-derived pharmaceutical-grade purification of 20- hydroxyecdysone. Pre-clinical studies have shown that (Sarconeos) BIO101 stimulates biological resilience through activation of the MAS receptor, which suggests preservation of muscle strength, function and mobility in various muscular wasting conditions. Biophytis is currently testing Sarconeos (BIO101) in a global, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical trial (SARA-INT) on patients with sarcopenia, a disease of ageing characterized by a loss of muscle mass, strength and function in elderly people leading to mobility disabilities, an increased risk of adverse health events and potential death.
