  • Inventiva planned a single global Phase 3 (NATIVE3) trial evaluating two doses of lanifibranor (800 mg and 1200 mg once daily) versus placebo
  • Trial design and clinical strategy was discussed with both FDA and EMA following the end-of-Phase 2 meeting
  • The primary endpoint is a composite one combining NASH resolution and ≥1 stage fibrosis improvement, based on 72-week histology analysis in ~900 patients
  • The trial is on track to be initiated in H1’21

Inventiva announced the strategy for lanifibranor’s Phase 3 global trial and accelerated approval

CI Scientists Remarks:

  • Inventiva’s lead product lanifibranor is an orally-available small molecule that acts to induce antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory and beneficial vascular and metabolic changes in the body by activating all three peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) isoforms, which are well-characterized nuclear receptor proteins that regulate gene expression

  • Inventiva planning to seek accelerated (US) and conditional approval (EU) for lanifibranor if they see positive intermediary trial results
  • With its convenient dosage regimen, Inventiva is hoping to position lanifibranor as a drug that induces NASH resolution and fibrosis, and a choice of two doses offering doctors the ability to use a lower dose without compromising the efficacy and to control side-effects such as edema
