Inventiva appointed Axel-Sven Malkomes as its new chief financial officer ahead of the company's planned readout of Phase 3 trial results for lanifibranor, a liver-disease treatment.

Current Chief Financial Officer Jean Volatier will stay on as the biopharmaceutical company's executive vice president, finance & corporate social responsibility.

Malkomes most recently served as CFO of CureVac. He has also served as CFO of Cardio, helping lead its acquisition by Novo Nordisk, as well as CFO and chief business officer at Midigene.

The company also named Susan Coles as its chief legal officer and Pamela Herbster as its chief people officer.

Coles was previously head of legal and finance for Vivet Therapeutics. She also served two stints as Inventiva's general counsel, from 2012 to 2014 and from 2019 to 2021.

Herbster previously led human resources and business operations at Sage Therapeutics.

They are joining Inventiva in advance of its readout of trial results for lanifibranor, a treatment for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. That readout is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026, the company said.

Nathalie Harroy, who currently serves as head of human resources, will also stay with the company.
