Inventiva FIRST LOOK: Hepalys starts Ph1 with lani for Japan/South Korea

Inventiva makes progress in its exclusive licensing agreement with Hepalys that was announced in September 2023 to develop and commercialize lanifibranor for the treatment of MASH patients in Japan and South Korea. The first participant has now been dosed in a Ph1 study to assess the safety, tolerability and PK/PD profile of the drug. Upon completion of this study and following Inventiva's EU/US pivotal NATiV3 readout, Inventiva and Hepalys could advance into a pivotal study for the region. We see today's news as a step in the right direction, and reiterate our € 7 TP and Buy rating.
