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.
