Biophytis SA (Nasdaq CM: BPTS, Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS), (“Biophytis” or the “company”),a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of therapeutics that are aimed at slowing the degenerative processes associated with aging and improving functional outcomes for patients suffering from age-related diseases, including severe respiratory failure in patients suffering from COVID-19 today announces topline results for SARA-INT phase 2 study will be released in August 2021. The full results with complete details will be presented during the digital ICSFR scientific & medical conference, next September 29-October 2 2021.

The objective of the SARA-INT Phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sarconeos (BIO101) in a randomized placebo-controlled study in patients over 65 years suffering from sarcopenia and considered at high risk of mobility disability. The primary endpoint of SARA-INT is patients’ mobility disability as measured by the gait-speed over the 400-meter walk test (400MWT).

The multicenter double-blind, interventional study recruited a total of 233 patients in 22 centers in Belgium and the US who were dosed orally at 175 mg b.i.d. and 350 mg b.i.d. with Sarconeos (BIO101) through a 26-week period. 196 of those patients have completed the trial despite the COVID-19 pandemic last December 2020.
