Genfit is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative therapies and diagnostics for serious metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases. Founded and headquartered in Lille, France, the company has concentrated its efforts on nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an area of significant unmet medical need. By combining expertise in molecular biology, chemistry and medical imaging, Genfit aims to deliver products that can both treat disease and improve diagnosis and monitoring of liver conditions.
The company’s lead therapeutic candidate, elafibranor (GFT505), is a first-in-class, dual PPAR alpha/delta agonist designed to address the underlying metabolic and inflammatory processes that drive NASH. Elafibranor has completed multiple Phase II and Phase III clinical studies assessing its efficacy and safety in patients with NASH, including those at risk for progression to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Genfit continues to explore additional indications and combination strategies to broaden the potential applicability of its pipeline assets.
In parallel with its therapeutic programs, Genfit has developed proprietary diagnostic technologies to support the noninvasive assessment of liver health. Through a combination of imaging biomarkers and blood-based tests, the company seeks to provide physicians with tools for early detection, staging and monitoring of liver disease progression. Genfit’s diagnostics platform is designed to complement its drug development efforts and may be applied across diverse patient populations.
Genfit operates in Europe and the United States, collaborating with clinical sites, academic institutions and industry partners to advance its research. The company is led by an experienced management team with backgrounds in biotechnology, pharmaceutical development and medical research. Genfit continues to pursue regulatory interactions and strategic collaborations to bring its therapies and diagnostics to patients worldwide.
