       Biophytis Gives Operational Perspectives on its Sarconeos (BIO101)
                 Ahead of its Upcoming AGM on April 26, 2021

Paris, France, Cambridge (Massachusetts, United States), April 26, 2021, 8am
CET - Biophytis SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS), 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 provides
updates and perspectives on its Sarconeos (BIO101) programs ahead of its
upcoming General Assembly on April 26, 2021.

The COVA phase 2-3 study against COVID-19:
Assuming Emergency Use Authorization from the US, and Conditional Market
Approval from EMA are obtained in Q3 2021, marketing preparation could possibly
start by end of 2021. Most of the commercialization would be envisaged from the
start of 2022. In that perspective, Biophytis is currently taking steps in
order to prepare for industrial scale ups and manufacturing with potential CMO
partners in due course.

The SARA-INT phase 2 study in Sarcopenia:
Depending on results from the ongoing Phase 2 SARA-INT trial in sarcopenia,
which are expected before end of Q2 2021, Biophytis could initiate a Phase 3
study of Sarconeos (BIO101) in the same indication. Amongst other options, the
Company may consider partnering on this study, which could start in early 2022.

The MYODA study in DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy):
Following the Company's receipt of the IND (Investigational New Drug
Application) obtained from the FDA and authorization from Belgian authorities
in early 2020, the study was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Biophytis
now intends to resume the preparation for launching the MYODA Phase 1/2
clinical trial of Sarconeos (BIO101) in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD),
which could now be initiated in mid-2021, depending on the evolution of the
pandemic.
