The trial will include nearly half of its patients from an observational study, SARA-OBS, which has been conducted by Biophytis at some of the key clinical centres over the past year.
Remaining patients will be enrolled from 11 new clinical centres, which are in the process of opening.
With patient enrolment due for completion by the year-end, the trial plans to release preliminary and final results next year.
The study seeks to examine the safety and efficacy of two doses of BIO101 that will be administered orally for 26 weeks against placebo in a population of men and women aged 65 years and older.
