Inventiva shares climbed after the company said its treatment for diabetes and MASH appeared effective in a trial.
The stock was up 15% to $2.50 after the market close on Wednesday.
The biopharmaceutical company, which develops treatments for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), said a proof-of-concept trial met its primary efficacy endpoint.
The trial was evaluating the impact of a treatment for MASH and type-2 diabetes. Results demonstrated a significant reduction in HbA1c levels among patients.
The trial also showed therapeutic efficacy with statistical significance across multiple secondary endpoints, including markers of liver injury, glucose and lipid metabolism and hepatic steatosis.
