New data presented by Ipsen in PBC and PSC
The set of data to be presented underscores Iqirvo®’s potential to address both disease progression and symptom burden across rare cholestatic liver diseases.
- Ipsen will be presenting six abstracts1 from the ongoing Iqirvo® (elafibranor) ELATIVE® study in Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), including two late-breaking presentations and one abstract in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC).
- Data in PBC continue to support Iqirvo®’s efficacy and safety profile towards modifying disease progression while improving multiple key symptoms including fatigue and pruritus (itch), in patients living with PBC.
- Data in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) from the elafibranor ELMWOOD Phase 2 study provide insights into the sustained efficacy and tolerability profile of elafibranor 120mg in patients with PSC.
GENFIT will also organize two events focusing on ACLF:
- ACLF Insights (November 7, 2025)
- ACLF Patient Advocacy Council (November 9, 2025)
