Inventiva Plans To Start Lanifibranor Combo Study In NASH, Diabetes In 2022

Inventiva IVA announced the design of Phase 2a combination trial of lanifibranor in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
The trial will assess lanifibranor combined with Eli Lilly And Co's LLY Jardiance (empagliflozin).
The trial's primary efficacy endpoint is a change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at the end of the 24-week treatment compared to baseline.
Secondary endpoints include changes in liver enzymes, glycaemic and lipids parameters, inflammatory markers, and body fat composition.
63 patients with non-cirrhotic NASH and T2D will be randomized into the trial.
The Company plans to initiate the trial in 1H of 2022, with top-line results in 2H of 2023.
