Biophytis participates in H.C. Wainwright 24^th Annual Global Investment Conference

Paris (France), Cambridge (Massachusetts, U.S.), September 15th, 2022, 08 am CET – Biophytis SA (NasdaqCM: BPTS, Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS) (the “Company” or “Biophytis”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of therapeutics that slow the degenerative processes associated with aging, including severe respiratory failure in patients suffering from COVID-19, made a presentation to investors on the 12^th of September in New York, on the occasion of the 24th Global Investment Conference organised by the HC Wainwright bank, which is being held from 12 to 14 September 2022 in New York.

During this oral presentation, Stanislas Veillet, CEO of Biophytis, gave an update on the company's clinical results, presented the first results of the phase 2-3 COVA study in COVID-19-related respiratory failure and detailed the company's next key steps.

Stanislas Veillet, CEO of Biophytis, said: " I am very happy to share the very encouraging results obtained with Sarconeos (BIO101) in the fight against COVID-19. I think this is excellent news and in the public interest at a time when COVID-19 is becoming endemic and will persist for a long time. It is the only innovative drug candidate in Europe or the United States directly targeting respiratory failure that has demonstrated clinical efficacy in hospitalized patients with hypoxemia caused by COVID-19. It could be used in combination with certain anti-viral and/or anti-inflammatory drugs, which are now part of the medical practice.”

About the COVA study

As a reminder, the COVA clinical programme (identifier clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04472728) is an international, multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, group-sequential and adaptive two-part study. It is a phase 2-3 study evaluating Sarconeos (BIO101) in patients aged 45 years and older, hospitalised with severe respiratory manifestations of COVID-19. Part 1 of the COVA study is an exploratory Phase 2 proof-of-concept study designed to provide preliminary data on the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Sarconeos (BIO101) in 50 hospitalised patients with severe respiratory failure in patients suffering from COVID-19. Part 2 of the COVA study is a randomised phase 3 study investigating the safety and efficacy of Sarconeos (BIO101) on respiratory function in patients. Due to the evolution of the pandemia, the company decided
in April 2022 to stop enrolment at 237 patients.
