   Biophytis to Present at the 15th International Congress of the European
                Geriatric Medicine Society in Krakow, Poland

Paris (France), Cambridge (Massachusetts, United States), September 26, 2019,
8:00 AM CEST - Biophytis SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS), a clinical-stage
biotechnology company focused on the development of drug candidates for the
treatment of age-related diseases, announces that Waly Dioh, VP Clinical
Development, will make a presentation titled, "Evaluation of Safety and
Efficacy of BIO101, a Mas Receptor Activating Drug for Sarcopenia: A
Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Randomized Clinical Trial" at the 15th
International Congress of the European Geriatric Medicine (EuGMS). The Congress
is taking place between 25th and 27th September 2019 in Krakow, Poland.

Biophytis' clinical development plan for Sarconeos (BIO101) for the treatment
of sarcopenia comprises:

* SARA-PK, a Phase 1 clinical trial that showed safety and tolerability in
  older healthy volunteers. The trial completed in 2017.
* SARA-OBS, an observational trial that was completed in Q2 2019 with the last
  patient out, and
* SARA-INT, an ongoing international Phase 2b trial with a 6-month follow-up
  period that is currently recruiting patients in the US and Europe. The
  primary endpoint of the study is the 400-meter walking test gait speed.

In his presentation Mr. Dioh will:

* Outline the SARA-OBS study, which was designed to characterize, pre-recruit
  and confirm the optimal patient population for the SARA-INT trial, and
* Provide data on the preliminary baseline characteristics and changes from
  baseline of the first set of SARA-OBS patients.

In addition, insights on the SARA-INT recruitment strategies, including
inclusion criteria, as well as the baseline characteristics of the first
patients, will be discussed.

The presentation will be made today at 2:30 PM CEST.

About Sarconeos (BIO101)
Biophytis's lead drug candidate, Sarconeos (BIO101), is an orally administered
small molecule for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases. Sarconeos (BIO101)
is a plant-derived pharmaceutical-grade purification of 20- hydroxyecdysone.
Pre-clinical studies have shown that (Sarconeos) BIO101 stimulates biological
resilience through activation of the MAS receptor, which suggests preservation
of muscle strength, function and mobility in various muscular wasting
conditions. Biophytis is currently testing Sarconeos (BIO101) in a global,
randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical
trial (SARA-INT) on patients with sarcopenia, a disease of ageing characterized
by a loss of muscle mass, strength and function in elderly people leading to
mobility disabilities, an increased risk of adverse health events and potential
death.

About Biophytis
Biophytis is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing
therapeutics that slow the degenerative processes associated with aging and
improve functional outcomes for patients suffering from age-related diseases,
with a primary focus on neuromuscular diseases.

Biophytis' lead drug candidate, Sarconeos (BIO101), is an orally administered
small molecule, which is currently in a Phase 2b clinical trial for sarcopenia
(SARA-INT) in the US and Europe. Sarconeos (BIO101) is also being developed for
the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Biophytis expects Sarconeos
(BIO101) to be ready to enter the clinic for DMD in 2020.
