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.”
