Inventiva FIRST LOOK: FY23 update shifts lani phase 3 LPFV to 1H24

Inventiva reported FY23 cash and revenues, with the main update being the pause of the phase 3 (NATiV3) trial of lanifibranor in MASH due to elevated liver enzymes in 1 patient. The DMC recommended the trial continue with protocol amendments, and Inventiva expects to resume recruitment in 4-6 weeks. As a result, the timeline for the last patient first visit (LPFV) shits to 1H24 (previously 1Q24), though we note the company remains funded until early 3Q24 – beyond the new LPFV timeline, albeit just about. We expect some pressure on the shares today, which could be a buying opportunity ahead of the LEGED trial readout which is still expected in 1Q24. For now, we reiterate our BUY rating and € 13 TP.
