University, “ The need to develop reliable NASH biomarkers is both clear and urgent as the utility of liver biopsy, the only diagnostic approach currently available, is limited due to its invasive nature, poor patient acceptability and sampling variability. So we are very much looking forward to working with Inventiva on lanifibranor, a drug candidate that has shown very promising results in the field of NASH. Given the efficacy shown by lanifibranor during the NATIVE Phase IIb trial and the promising biomarker dataset available, we are confident that we will be able to meet our objective to develop one or several robust biomarkers or composite biomarker score
