More progress has been made in the burgeoning field of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) treatment, with positive data from small molecule specialist Inventiva (Euronext: IVA).

Based in Daix, in Eastern France, the company is testing the anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory agent lanifibranor, in the Phase IIb NATIVE trial.
