Biophytis Files IND Application with FDA for Sarconeos (BIO101) to Support
Planned MYODA Clinical Program in Patients with DMD

Paris (France), Cambridge (Massachusetts, U.S.), November 15, 2019, 8:00 a.m.
CET - Biophytis SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS), a clinical-stage
biotechnology company with a primary focus on the treatment of neuromuscular
diseases, announces it has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application
with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which if granted, would allow
it to begin the MYODA clinical development program with Sarconeos (BIO101) in
patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in 2020. The Company plans to
file similar clinical trial applications to the applicable regulatory agencies
in Europe before the year end.

Biophytis' proposed MYODA clinical program is based on a seamless trial design
from Phase 1 to 3 and a composite score to assess the safety and efficacy of a
pediatric formulation of Sarconeos (BIO101) for both ambulatory and
non-ambulatory patients with DMD.

Stanislas Veillet, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "This IND filing is another
key milestone in Biophytis' strategy to maximize the clinical utility of
Sarconeos (BIO101) in patients with neuromuscular disease. Based on the
pre-clinical data we have generated, we believe that Sarconeos (BIO101) could
become an important new treatment option for patients with DMD. Our MYODA
clinical program incorporate a seamless trial design that aims to clearly
demonstrate the functional, including respiratory, benefits that Sarconeos
(BIO101) could deliver to this underserved patient population."

In June 2019, Biophytis and AMF-Telethon entered a collaboration agreement for
the development of Sarconeos (BIO101) for the treatment of DMD.
