Biophytis SA Launches OBA Phase 2 Clinical Study in Obesity with BIO101 (20-Hydroxyecdysone) Biophytis SA announced that it is launching a new clinical development program named OBA, with BIO101 (20-hydroxyecdysone) as a potential treatment for obesity in combination with GLP-1 receptor agonists. Obesity treatment can lead to loss of muscle mass and function, notably as a consequence of dieting when combined with the recently introduced GLP-1 receptor agonists. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) drugs are very effective drugs that lead to significant weight loss. Up to 40% of the total weight loss comes from muscle, which is a problem as muscle tissue's role is central in controlling metabolism, on top of its motor function. Promising results already obtained in obesity: BIO101 (20-hydroxyecdysone) is the first oral daily MAS receptor activator and has demonstrated metabolic effects on muscle and fat tissues in preclinical studies in obesity. These benefical effects of BIO101 (20-hydroxyecdysone) may translate into improved mobility and muscle strength in obese sarcopenic patients, as suggested in the SARA-INT phase 2 study. Furthermore, the 20-hydroxyecdysone molecule was already tested in obese patients during hypocaloric dieting in the Quinolia study, showing promising effects on muscle strength and fat mass loss. BIO101's (20-hydroxyecdysone) potential in the treatment of obesity in combination with GLP-1RAs to counteract the undesirable effects on muscle wasting associated with drastic weight-loss was highlighted in Nature Biotechnology ("After obesity drugs' success, companies rush to preserve skeletal muscle") on March 05, 2024. An accelerated clinical development with results expected in 2025: The OBA Phase 2 clinical study is expected to start mid 2024, upon regulatory approvals, with first patients expected to be treated in the second half of 2024. BIO101 (20-hydroxyecdysone) will be evaluated in obese patients treated with GLP-1 RAs, and following hypocaloric dieting. The Company expects the first results of the efficacy of drug candidate to be available in 2025. Further information on the OBA program and the clinical study is expected to be provided through the coming weeks. Duyuru • Feb 15

Biophytis S.A. Announces the Publication of the Results of its COVA Phase 2-3 Study in eClinicalMedicine, Part of The Lancet Biophytis S.A. announced the publication of an article on the results of its COVA phase 2-3 clinical trial in the treatment of respiratory symptoms in severe forms of COVID-19 in eClinicalMedicine, a medical journal part of the prestigious scientific review The Lancet. This publication is an endorsement of the strength of Biophytis' clinical research and the value of its drug candidate Sarconeos (BIO101) in the treatement of severe forms of COVID-19. Therapeutic advances are still needed in this pathology, as more than 230,000 patients will still have died of the virus worldwide in 2023, out of a total of nearly 7 million since the start of the pandemic. As a reminder, the objective of the COVA Phase 2-3 study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04472728) was to investigate the efficacy and safety of Sarconeos (BIO101), 350 mg BID in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with hypoxemia, at risk of respiratory failure and death. The proportion and time of onset of these adverse events were studied for 28 days, with mortality and safety monitored for more than 90 days. The main result was that in the study population (233 patients; 126 Sarconeos (BIO101) and 107 placebo), respiratory failure or early death by day 28, the primary end-point, was 11.4% lower in the Sarconeos (BIO101) (13.5%) than in the placebo (24.3%) group, (p = 0.0426). Sarconeos (BIO101) significantly reduced the risk of death or respiratory failure by 44%, supporting its use in adults hospitalized with severe respiratory symptoms due to COVID-19. To follow this publication, Biophytis will host two press conferences in France and the United States on 17 January 2024, alongside experts from the scientific and medical communities, to reiterate the potential and clinical benefits of Sarconeos (BIO101) in severe forms of COVID-19, and provide further details on the Group's strategic choice to explore the compound's potential in the treatment of other respiratory viral infections such as influenza.

Biophytis S.A. Files for a Pre-Submission Meeting with the FDA for an Emergency Use Authorization of Sarconeos (BIO101) for the Treatment of COVID-19 Biophytis SA announced that it has filed for a pre-submission meeting request with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss filing for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the United States for Sarconeos (BIO101) in the treatment of severe forms of COVID-19. This is a further key step in defining the conditions for rapid market access in the United States for SARConeos(BIO101) in thetreatment of severe forms of COVID -19, following the similar process initiated with the European Medicine Agency (EMA) in May, in a context where COVID-19 is still associated with a public health problem in the United States and in Europe. Like influenza, this pathology has become an endemic respiratory infectious disease that can lead to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in elderly, immunocompromised or co-morbid patients. According to the WHO, the medical need remains high, with several thousand deaths per week in the United States and Europe. In this context, the positive clinical results of the phase 2-3 COVA study, with a 44% reduction in the risk of respiratory failure or early death, suggests that Sarconeos (BIo101) could become an important new therapeutic option alongside antiviral or anti-inflammatory treatments.

Biophytis Announces Positive Final Results of the Phase 2-3 COVA Study with Sarconeos (BIO101) in Severe COVID-19 Biophytis SA released the final results from its phase 2-3 COVA clinical study evaluating Sarconeos (BIO101) in the treatment of COVID-19-related respiratory failure. Biophytis announced final results following the reintegration of data from 54 patients, among 233 patients treated, that were missing in the Top Line analysis released on September 7, 2022. The final analysis demonstrates that COVA study met the primary endpoint, with a 44% statistically significant reduction (p = 0.043) in the risk of respiratory failure or early death in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19, in line with positive Post-Hoc analysis released on November 3, 2022. Biophytis is nowinitiating key regulatory activities to give access to Sarconeos (BIO101) to hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 at risk of respiratory failure and death in 2023. The strategy to give access to Sarconeos (BIO101) as quickly as possible is to file for Early Access Programs (EAP) in France and Brazil, while filing for conditional Marketing Authorisation (CMA) in Europe and Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the USA. An EAP has already been approved in 2022 in Brazil to treat COVID-19 patients at critical stage in Intensice Care Units (ICU) and the request to lift the hold given completion of the study and positive results is pending. The filing of the request for starting the EAP program in France is being prepared and will be made in First Quarter 2023 with the objective to be granted approval in Second Quarter 2023. Requests for pre-submission meetings regarding conditional Marketing Authorisation in Europe and Emergency Use Authorization in the USA are under preparation and will be sent in First Quarter 2023, targeting an approval later in 2023, depending on feedback from authorities. Biophytis will present the results in detail at the American Thoracic Society conference in Washington, DC, USA in May 2023 and at the European Respiratory Society Lung Science meeting in Estoril, Portugal, in March 2023. The objective of the study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of Sarconeos (BIO101), 350 mg BID in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with hypoxemia, at risk of respiratory failure requiring high flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation, and death. The proportion of patients and time to respiratory failure or early death were studied at 28 days in the primary analysis, corresponding to the maximum treatment period, with follow-up of mortality and safety for at least 90 days. The 233 treated patients (Intent To Treat, ITT population) were 63 years old on average, 64% of the patients were male, recruited in 37 centers in Europe, the US and Brazil between Third Quarter 2020 and First Quarter 2022, infected with the main SARS-Cov-2 variants. The trial ended early before reaching the 310 patients originally planned, due to stalled recruitment. The sub-population of patients without major protocol deviations (Per Protocol, PP sub-population) included 180 patients with similar baseline demographics and disease characteristics as the ITT population. The study met its pre-defined primary endpoint demonstrating a statistically significant difference between Sarconeos (BIO101) and placebo in the proportion of patients with respiratory failure or early death at day 28, representing a relative reduction of risk of 44% (p=0.043, Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test). Moreover, the analysis of time to respiratory failure or early death had shown significant differences over 28 days in the Kaplan Meier curves for Sarconeos (BIO101) versus placebo (p=0.022). The pre-specified analysis of time to death over the complete follow-up period over 90 days showed that mortality rate with Sarconeos (BIO101) was reduced compared to placebo in the ITT population (p=0.083) and in the PP population (p=0.038). Post hoc Kaplan-Meier analysis released on November 3, 2022 confirmed the effect of Sarconeos (BIO101) on the primary endpoint and on mortality at day 90. Duyuru • Jan 20
