   Biophytis presented its Phase 2-3 COVA study results in severe
   forms of Covid-19 at the WCID in Paris



   Paris (France) and Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA), July 01st,
   2024 - 07:00am CET - Biophytis SA (Euronext Growth Paris :
   ALBPS), ("Biophytis" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage
   biotechnology company specialized in the  development of
   therapeutics for age-related diseases,  presented the roll-out
   and results of its phase 2/3 COVA study in the treatment of
   severe forms of Covid-19 at the 6th edition of the World Congress
   on Infectious Diseases, held from June 24 to 26, 2024 in Paris,
   France.



   Professor Valerie Pourcher MD, PhD, Chaiman of the Infectious
   Diseases department at Pitié Salpetriere, presented the COVA
   phase 2/3 clincial study results in a context where the number of
   Covid cases rises again. Dr. Claudia Ferreira MD, PhD, Medical
   Director at Biophytis, opened the conference with a keynote
   presentation on the risk of infectious diseases and further
   pandemic developments associated with the Paris Olympic games
   including an increase of +52 %  in emergency room (ER) visits due
   to SARS-CoV-2 on the week of 10-17 June 2024 in France. She also
   chaired several roundtables.


   Valerie Pourcher detailed the results of the randomised,
   placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 COVA study and the efficacy of oral
   BIO101 (20-hydroxyecdysone) administered orally in adult patients
   hospitalised for severe forms of COVID-19.


   The results of this phase 2-3 study, evaluating BIO101 in the
   treatment of severe hospitalised COVID-19 patients, are positive
   and show, in addition to a very good safety profile, a
   statistically significant reduction in the relative risk of early
   respiratory failure or death of 43.8% and a 44.6% reduction in
   the death rate over 90 days.


   Stanislas Veillet, CEO of Biophytis, stated: " The Covid pandemic
   is far from over: according to the World Health Organization,
   134,797 new cases of Covid-19 and 1,691 deaths have been reported
   worldwide in the last 28 days as of June 9 - a figure that is
   underestimated due to under-reporting. Our COVA program, which
   showed very positive resullts, positions BIO101
   (20-hydroxyecdysone) as a leading  drug candidate for severe
   forms of Covid-19, particularly in elderly patients with
   co-morbidities, that is independent of the SARS-COV2 strain."

   objectives, the design and the results of the study, can be
