Clinical Trial Progress: | Phase 2 completed (NCT03008070: In this phase 2b trial involving patients with active NASH, the percentage of patients who had a decrease of at least 2 points in the SAF-A score without worsening of fibrosis was significantly higher with the 1200-mg dose of lanifibranor than with placebo. These findings support further assessment of lanifibranor in phase 3 trials.) Phase 3 on-going (NCT04849728) |
Latest Progress: | Advanced in clinical trials |
