Biophytis SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel therapeutics for age-related diseases, today announced upcoming oral and poster presentations at the 2019 International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR 2019) being held from February 20 to 22, 2019 in Miami Beach, FL. The Company will present details of its lead clinical drug candidate, Sarconeos (BIO101), including its history and unique mechanism-of-action that targets the MAS receptor for the preservation of muscle function in muscle wasting disorders. Additionally, the Company will present the clinical trial design of its ongoing SARA Phase 2 study of Sarconeos (BIO101) in sarcopenia.

Stanislas Veillet, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Biophytis said, “We are pleased to have been selected for three oral presentations and a poster at ICFSR 2019. We look forward to sharing the potential of Sarconeos (BIO101) for the treatment of sarcopenia and other muscular dystrophies with leading international clinicians and scientists from industry and academia. We believe Sarconeos (BIO101) is one of the most advanced drug candidates in clinical development for the treatment of sarcopenia, a severe geriatric muscle wasting condition with no currently approved medication.”
