About Lanifibranor
Lanifibranor, Inventiva's most advanced drug candidate, is an orally administered small molecule whose mechanism of action consists of inducing antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory effects as well as beneficial vascular and metabolic changes by activating all three-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ("PPAR") isoforms. PPARs are well-characterized nuclear receptors that regulate gene transcription. Lanifibranor is a PPAR agonist designed to activate all three PPAR isoforms in a moderate and equipotent manner, with balanced activation of PPARα and PPARδ, and partial activation of PPARγ. While other PPAR agonists exist that target one or two PPAR isoforms, lanifibranor is the only pan-PPAR agonist currently in clinical development. The Company believes that lanifibranor's moderate and balanced pan-PPAR modulator profile also contributes to the favorable safety and tolerability profile that has been observed in the clinical trials and preclinical studies in which it has been evaluated. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted lanifibranor both Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designations for the treatment of MASH.
