Inventiva FIRST LOOK: Phase 2 (LEGEND) trial of lani combo in MASH and T2D hits

Inventiva reported positive topline data from the phase 2 (LEGEND) trial of lanifibranor + empagliflozin in MASH and T2D. In addition to hitting on the primary endpoint (HbA1c), we note the stabilisation of weight as well as improvements in secondary outcomes (e.g. liver enzymes and fibrosis markers). In our view, the results boost lanifibranor's positioning in MASH, demonstrating its potential as a combination therapy, which is important given that combinations will likely be required to address the disease co-morbidities. We reiterate our BUY rating and € 10 TP.
