Genfit is a biopharmaceutical company at the forefront of developing therapeutic and diagnostic solutions to address high unmet patient needs in metabolic and inflammatory diseases, with a particular focus on the liver and gastroenterology.
Conscious of the importance of strategically aligning our company with patient needs, our R&D efforts are focused on contributing to bringing new medicines to market for patients with serious diseases whose treatment options are limited or non-existent.Our rigorous drug discovery and development process, and our commitment to improving health through innovation, have resulted in the creation of a pipeline dedicated to areas where we can lead and make a significant impact.
Our lead pipeline product Elafibranor (GFT505) has recently completed a positive Phase 2b study in NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis) and is currently launching a Phase 3 study. This metabolism-related liver disease, which can progress to cirrhosis and even liver cancer, shows a dramatically increasing prevalence worldwide. Elafibranor represents a major hope for patients and their physicians, who currently have no efficient treatment for NASH.
In addition to Elafibranor, our R&D pipeline relies mainly on our world-renowned scientific expertise in gene regulation and nuclear receptors.
It is comprised of multiple drug candidate research programs targeting novel mechanisms of action including the inhibition of RORγ-t.
