Description: IVA Inventiva January 26, 2026

Inventiva S.A. (NASDAQ: IVA) is a French clinical-stage biopharma focused on oral small-molecule therapies, most notably Lanifibranor, a pan-PPAR agonist being evaluated in the NATiV3 Phase 3 trial for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). The company also advances Odiparcil for mucopolysaccharidoses and a pre-clinical TGF-β program targeting idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

As of the latest Q3 2025 shareholder update, Lanifibranor’s interim analysis showed a statistically significant 30 % relative reduction in fibrosis progression versus placebo (p = 0.021) and met the key secondary endpoint of NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis. Inventiva reported €150 million in cash and marketable securities at 31 Dec 2025, giving it an estimated runway into Q4 2027 assuming current burn of €30 million per quarter.

The MASH market is expanding rapidly; consensus forecasts from BloombergNEF place the global addressable market at ≈ $12 billion by 2028, driven by rising obesity rates and limited approved therapies. Concurrently, the broader biotech sector has benefited from a 12 % YoY increase in R&D capital inflows in Europe (2024-2025), supporting companies with late-stage pipelines like Inventiva.
