- Cash and cash equivalents at €124.6m as of September 30, 2020, allowing the Company to finance its operating activities through Q4 2022
- Revenues of €0.3m for the first nine months of 2020
Daix (France), November 12, 2020 – Inventiva (NASDAQ:IVA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral small molecule therapies for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and other diseases with significant unmet medical need, today reported its cash position as of September 30, 2020 and its revenues for the first nine months of 2020.
Cash PositionAs of September 30, 2020, Inventiva's cash and cash equivalents stood at €124.6 million, compared to €52.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and €35.8 million as of December 31, 2019.
Inventiva's net cash flow amounted to €88.8 million (net of (€2.4) million exchange rate effect) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to (€21.3) million for the first nine months of 2019.
Net cash used in operating activities was (€19.4) million for the first nine months of 2020, compared to (€28.3) million for the same period in 2019. This decrease is mainly due to the halt in the clinical development of lanifibranor for the treatment of systemic sclerosis in February 2019 and the savings generated by the Employment Safeguard Plan subsequently introduced mid-2019, with the first nine months of 2020 recording the full effect of the savings generated. The cash flow from operating activities was also positively impacted by the receipt in January 2020 of €4.2 million in respect of the 2018 Research Tax Credit (CIR - Crédit Impôt Recherche), and the receipt in April and June 2020 of €4.2 million in total in respect of the 2019 CIR.
Net cash from financing activities amounted to €111.6 million for the first nine months of 2020, driven by: the issuance of €15.0 million (gross proceeds) of ordinary shares in February 2020 to certain existing investors in the Company, the entry into €10.0 million credit agreements, guaranteed by the French State, with a syndicate of French banks in May 2020, and the receipt of €94.9 million2 (gross proceeds) following the successful IPO on the Nasdaq Global Market in July 2020, extending Inventiva's cash runway through the fourth quarter of 2022.
RevenuesThe Company's revenues for the first nine months of 2020 amounted to €0.3 million, compared to €3.4 million for the same period in 2019.

- FDA confirms that a single Phase III clinical trial may be adequate for submitting U.S. marketing authorization application
- Interim histology analysis may serve as the basis for seeking FDA accelerated approval
- Inventiva confirms planned initiation of pivotal Phase III clinical trial for H1 2021
- Based on positive feedback from the FDA, the Company has decided to focus its clinical efforts on the development of lanifibranor in NASH
Daix (France), November 10, 2020 – Inventiva (NASDAQ:IVA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral small molecule therapies for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and other diseases with significant unmet medical need, today announced conclusions from its end-of-phase II meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its lead drug candidate lanifibranor following the publication of positive topline results from its NATIVE Phase IIb clinical trial in NASH in June 2020.After the recent Breakthrough Therapy designation of lanifibranor in NASH, and based on the trial design presented by the Company, the FDA has indicated that Inventiva's clinical strategy to conduct a single pivotal Phase III trial may be sufficient to support the filing of a new drug application (NDA) in the U.S. The FDA also confirmed that Inventiva may request accelerated approval for lanifibranor in the event of a positive benefit-risk ratio determination based on an interim histology analysis to be conducted during the Phase III trial.
The Phase III trial preparations are progressing according to schedule and Inventiva will communicate details of the trial once it receives regulatory feedback from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2020. The initiation of the Phase III trial is planned for the first half of 2021.
Given the positive feedback from the FDA, which builds on the positive topline results shown by lanifibranor in the NATIVE Phase IIb clinical trial and its designation as Breakthrough Therapy by the FDA in October, Inventiva has decided to focus its clinical efforts on the development of lanifibranor for the treatment of NASH. As part of this decision, the Company will be reviewing all available options to optimize the development of its second clinical-stage asset odiparcil for the treatment of MPS VI, and during such time, will suspend all MPS-related R&D activities. As a consequence, the Phase I/II SAFE-KIDDS (SAFEty, pharmacoKInetics and pharmacoDynamics, Dose escalating Study) clinical trial evaluating odiparcil in MPS VI children and the Phase IIa extension clinical trial with odiparcil in MPS VI patients who completed the prior iMProveS Phase IIa clinical trial will not be initiated in the first half of 2021 as initially planned.
Pierre Broqua, Chief Scientific Officer and cofounder of Inventiva, commented: "We are extremely pleased by the promising and constructive feedback from the FDA, which has given us the green light to initiate the pivotal Phase III trial with lanifibranor, our lead drug candidate for the treatment of NASH. Importantly, the FDA provided clear guidance that accelerated approval may be achievable with an interim analysis. The recent key milestones achieved with lanifibranor and the FDA feedback reinforce our confidence in its potential to become a reference treatment for NASH. With this very promising perspective ahead, we believe it is important to shift our clinical focus and concentrate on this program while ensuring the ideal development path for odiparcil in MPS. We now look forward to continue working closely with the EMA on finalizing lanifibranor's clinical development plan, with a view to the initiation of the Phase III trial in the first half of 2021."
About lanifibranorLanifibranor, Inventiva's lead product candidate, is an orally-available small molecule that acts to induce anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory and beneficial vascular and metabolic changes in the body by activating all three peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor (PPAR) isoforms, which are well‑characterized nuclear receptor proteins that regulate gene expression. Lanifibranor is a PPAR agonist that is designed to target all three PPAR isoforms in a moderately potent manner, with a well‑balanced activation of PPARα and PPARδ, and a partial activation of PPARγ. While there are other PPAR agonists that target only one or two PPAR isoforms for activation, lanifibranor is the only pan‑PPAR agonist in clinical development. Inventiva believes that lanifibranor's moderate and balanced pan‑PPAR binding profile contributes to the favorable tolerability profile that has been observed in clinical trials and pre‑clinical studies to date. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designation to lanifibranor for the treatment of NASH.

- PPARs are shown to be attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of NASH, producing beneficial effects on the liver, improving features of the metabolic syndrome and mitigating the risk of related extra-hepatic diseases
Daix (France), November 2, 2020 – Inventiva (NASDAQ:IVA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral small molecule therapies for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and other diseases with significant unmet medical need, today announced the publication of a scientific paper on the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in the treatment of NASH by the peer-reviewed medical journal Nature Review Gastroenterology & Hepatology.Published in coordination with the panNASH™ initiative, the article, entitled "Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors", discusses the current literature on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), describes the role of PPARs in NASH and related metabolic diseases, and summarizes the preclinical and clinical data on the use of PPAR agonists.
NAFLD is a multisystem disease with extra-hepatic disease implications, including the development of type two diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). As the paper highlights, patients with NAFLD tend to present many features of the metabolic syndrome, such as central obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, hypertension, abnormal glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, and, in progression of NAFLD towards NASH, develop hepatic inflammation and often fibrosis.
According to the article, PPARs are key regulators of many of the adversely affected mechanistic pathways involved, making them attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of NASH. Reportedly, PPARs produce beneficial effects on the liver, improve various features of the metabolic syndrome and mitigate the risk of developing related extra-hepatic diseases such as T2DM and CVDs.
The paper also discusses the well-known side effects of PPARs, explaining that those, including excessive body weight gain and fluid retention, can be controlled by the use of biomarkers and recover after stopping the treatment.
Jean-Louis Junien, Chairman of Inventiva's Scientific Advisory Board, commented: "This scientific paper clearly illustrates that, although previous studies have shown limited efficacy of individual PPARs, ongoing clinical trials suggest a broader and more efficacious therapeutic potential especially of pan-PPAR agonists to treat the multisystem disease of NASH. This can in particular be attributed to their capacity to target different interrelated mechanisms in the pathophysiology of NASH. As such, lanifibranor, Inventiva's lead drug candidate and only pan-PPAR agonist currently in development for the treatment of NASH, is ideally positioned in this field as evidenced by the recent topline results of the Company's Phase IIb NATIVE clinical trial."

About panNASHTM
The panNASH™ initiative is a working group consisting of a committee of international independent experts that aims to increase the visibility and contribute to a better understanding of NASH, to share their expertise and to establish best practices for the treatment of the disease.
Established in 2018, the initiative is supported by Inventiva and includes European and American medical experts in areas related to NASH such as hepatology, diabetes and cardiology, along with renowned scientific experts dedicated to promoting a better understanding of the physiopathological mechanisms involved in the disease. Their aim is to play an active role in developing and disseminating their NASH expertise among the scientific community, patients and other key stakeholders within the healthcare system.
In particular, the experts group helps to develop and share new findings about NASH through publications, conferences and training sessions, focusing on the development of the disease, the identification of patients at risk, clinical markers and associated health risks, as well as the development of new treatments. Specifically, the committee contributes to increasing the knowledge of pathological mechanisms ranging from metabolic disorders to fibrosis and comorbidities, with a focus on the modulating role played by PPARs (a,d,g subtypes).

About the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD)1AASLD is the leading organization of scientists and health care professionals committed to preventing and curing liver disease. AASLD fosters research that leads to improved treatment options for millions of liver disease patients. We advance the science and practice of hepatology through educational conferences, training programs, professional publications, and partnerships with government agencies and sister societies.
About lanifibranorLanifibranor, Inventiva's lead product candidate, is an orally-available small molecule that acts to induce anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory and beneficial vascular and metabolic changes in the body by activating all three peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor (PPAR) isoforms, which are well‑characterized nuclear receptor proteins that regulate gene expression. Lanifibranor is a PPAR agonist that is designed to target all three PPAR isoforms in a moderately potent manner, with a well‑balanced activation of PPARα and PPARδ, and a partial activation of PPARγ. While there are other PPAR agonists that target only one or two PPAR isoforms for activation, lanifibranor is the only pan‑PPAR agonist in clinical development. Inventiva believes that lanifibranor's moderate and balanced pan‑PPAR binding profile contributes to the favorable tolerability profile that has been observed in clinical trials and pre‑clinical studies to date.
About the NATIVE Phase IIb trialThe NATIVE (NAsh Trial to Validate IVA337 Efficacy) clinical trial was a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIb clinical trial evaluating lanifibranor for the treatment of patients with NASH. The main purpose of the trial was to assess the efficacy of lanifibranor in improving liver inflammation and ballooning, the two histological markers included in the definition of the regulatory endpoint of NASH resolution. To be considered for inclusion, patients were required to have: a diagnosis of NASH confirmed by liver biopsy; a cumulative score of inflammation and ballooning (as measured using the SAF scoring system) of three or four out of four, indicating the presence of moderate to severe inflammation and ballooning; a steatosis score greater than or equal to one, indicating the presence of moderate to severe steatosis; and a fibrosis score less than four, indicating the absence of cirrhosis. The primary endpoint of the trial was a reduction in the combined inflammation and ballooning score of two points compared to baseline, with no worsening fibrosis, as measured by the SAF score. Secondary endpoints included NASH resolution, improvements in each of the steatosis, inflammation, ballooning and fibrosis scores from baseline as measured using the SAF score, improvements in various other fibrosis measures, improvements in several metabolic markers, improvements in steatosis, inflammation and ballooning as measured using the NAS score (NAFLD activity score), and safety.
The trial randomized 247 patients with NASH in 71 sites in Australia, Canada, Europe, Mauritius and the United States.
