? The results of the GOLDEN-505 phase 2b study of Elafibranor in NASH have been selected for an exclusive oral presentation during the Presidential Plenary session.
? Additional data from the Phase 2b study will be described in oral presentations as well as in a poster session. Lille (France), Cambridge (Massachusetts, United States), October 2nd, 2015 – GENFIT (Euronext: GNFT; ISIN: FR0004163111), a biopharmaceutical company at the forefront of developing therapeutic and diagnostic solutions in metabolic and inflammatory diseases, that notably affect the liver or the gastrointestinal system, today announces the presentation of Elafibranor results during the annual meeting of the AASLD, “The Liver Meeting”, in San Francisco from November 13-17, 2015.
The results of the GOLDEN-505 Phase 2b study, showing the efficacy of Elafibranor (GFT505) for the treatment of NASH, have been selected by the scientific review committee for presentation in a Presidential Plenary session.
Professor Vlad Ratziu, principal investigator and international coordinator of the GOLDEN-505 study, will describe the efficacy and safety results during a plenary session presentation:
Monday, November 16 from 11am – 12:30pm
“AN INTERNATIONAL, PHASE 2 RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF THE DUAL PPAR ALPHA-DELTA AGONIST GFT505 IN ADULT PATIENTS WITH NASH” V Ratziu et al. (Abstract 105)

Additionally, the AASLD has selected two other abstracts for presentation on the GOLDEN-505 study:
- Professor Stephen Harrison will detail the beneficial effects of Elafibranor (GFT505) on cardiometabolic risk markers of NASH patients:
“BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF THE DUAL PPAR ALPHA-DELTA AGONIST, GFT505, ON HEPATIC AND CARDIOMETABOLIC MARKERS IN ADULT NASH PATIENTS” SA Harrison et al. (Abstract 162)
- Professor Arun Sanyal will analyze the hepatic and extra-hepatic responses linked to the treatment of NASH by Elafibranor:
“THE HEPATIC AND EXTRA-HEPATIC PROFILE OF RESOLUTION OF STEATOHEPATITIS INDUCED BY GFT-505” A Sanyal et al. (Abstract 2145)
One additional poster will be presented illustrating the efficacy of Elafibranor in a novel disease model of NASH that mirrors the histological effects observed in the GOLDEN-505 study. This model enables a better description of the mechanism of therapeutic action of Elafibranor:
“GFT505 (ELAFIBRANOR) PREVENTS NONALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS (NASH), HEPATIC FIBROSIS AND HEPATOCARCINOMA IN A NEW PRECLINICAL MODEL” B Noel et al. (Abstract 974)
Jean-François Mouney, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GENFIT, declared: “The AASLD meeting will constitute an important moment for GENFIT, both with a strong corporate and clinical presence at the meeting, also concurrent with the finalization of the design of our NASH phase 3 trial. With two oral presentations, including the Presidential Plenary, this will be an excellent opportunity for continued discussions with medical partners, clinicians, and important stakeholders who are eagerly awaiting further development and commercialization of a product that is both effective and safe for the growing numbers of patients in need of a treatment for NASH.”
