Scientific and clinical resources for healthcare professionals
Inventiva Medical Affairs
Inventiva Medical Affairs supports scientific exchange and provides resources for healthcare professionals, researchers, and qualified stakeholders interested in MASH and lanifibranor.
About MASH
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis is a progressive liver disease associated with metabolic risk factors and significant long-term complications.
MASH can lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is also closely associated with cardiometabolic disease, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia.
Medical Affairs resources are intended to support balanced scientific exchange and help qualified audiences understand the evolving clinical landscape.
About Lanifibranor
Lanifibranor is an investigational pan-PPAR agonist being evaluated for the treatment of MASH.
Lanifibranor is designed to activate all three PPAR isoforms: alpha, delta, and gamma. This multimodal approach is intended to target pathways involved in inflammation, fibrosis, and metabolic dysfunction.
The safety and efficacy of lanifibranor have not been established by regulatory authorities. It remains an investigational therapy.
Lanifibranor is currently being studied in a Phase 3 clinical development program.
