About The Society on Sarcopenia, Cachexia, and Wasting Disorders (SCWD)

The Society on Sarcopenia, Cachexia and Wasting Disorders was founded in 2008 on the initiative of Dr. Stefan D. Anker and Dr. John E. Morley, whose leadership and vision guided the expansion of clinical expertise and research in this field. The Society on Sarcopenia, Cachexia and Wasting Disorders is a non-profit scientific organization comprised of an international and multidisciplinary group of health-care professionals primarily active in these fields. The SCWD seeks to further research on cachexia and sarcopenia and wasting disorders and bring practical solutions to health-care teams worldwide grappling with treatment. The spectrum of clinical disorders represented by the SCWD Society includes, but is not limited to cachexia, sarcopenia, the syndrome of muscle wasting associated to cancer, COPD, diabetes, heart failure, aging and other chronic conditions. In recent years, there has been tremendous growth in new diagnostic information, pharmacological and nutritional treatments for wasting disorders, as well as a greater number of associated clinical trials.

About SARCONEOS

Sarconeos is a first-in-class drug candidate based on the activation of the MAS receptor (major player of the renin-angiotensin system) restoring muscular anabolism, inhibiting myostatin, and that had demonstrated meaningful activity in animal models of muscular dystrophies. Sarconeos is developed in the treatment of sarcopenia, an age-related degeneration of skeletal muscle, leading to loss of mobility in elderly people. This condition, for which no medical treatment currently exists, was first described in 1993 and has entered the International Classification of Diseases (M62.84) in 2016. It affects more than 50 million people worldwide.

About BIOPHYTIS

Biophytis SA (www.biophytis.com), founded in 2006, develops drug candidates targeting diseases of aging. Using its technology and know-how, Biophytis has begun clinical development of innovative therapeutics to restore the muscular and visual functions in diseases with significant unmet medical needs. Specifically, the company is advancing two lead products into mid-stage clinical testing this year: Sarconeos (BIO101) to treat sarcopenic obesity and Macuneos (BIO201) to treat dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The business model of BIOPHYTIS is to ensure the conduct of the project until clinical activity in the patient is proven, then to license the technologies in order to continue the development in partnership with a pharmaceutical laboratory.

The company was founded in partnership with researchers at the UPMC (Pierre and Marie Curie University) and also collaborates with scientists at the Institute of Myology, and the Vision Institute.
