Lille, France; Cambridge, MA; June 23, 2021 - GENFIT (Nasdaq and Euronext: GNFT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with metabolic and liver diseases, today announced it will be making two poster presentations at two internationally-renown scientific and medical events in June 2021, including a thought-leadership documentary featuring Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs).
A poster presentation looking at the effects of age on the clinical performance of GENFITs proprietary diagnostic technology NIS4 in diagnosing at-risk NASH in patients with type 2 diabetes in comparison to a number of non-invasive tests, will be presented at the International Liver Congress 2021 on June 23-26, 2021, organized by the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL).
A poster presentation providing key insights into the performance of NIS4 technology either alone or in combination with other blood-based non-invasive tests in identifying at-risk NASH and advanced fibrosis in patients with and without type 2 diabetes, will be presented at the 81st Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) on June 25-29, 2021.
In addition, GENFIT is a key contributor to a thought-leadership documentary for ADA TV discussing, alongside KOLs, the link between NASH and patients with type 2 diabetes and how access to non-invasive diagnostic test kits to diagnose NASH, such as NASHnext, powered by GENFITs NIS4 technology, could provide an alternative to costly and invasive procedures and potentially benefit millions of patients. Featured KOLs include:

Both events will be held virtually and the full programs can be found on the American Diabetes Association website and on the International Liver Congress website.

ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL LIVER CONGRESS
The International Liver Congress is an annual congress and EASLs flagship event, attracting scientific and medical experts from around the world to learn about the latest in liver research.
ABOUT THE ADA
The ADA is the US leading voluntary health organization fighting to bend the curve on the diabetes epidemic and help people living with diabetes thrive. It holds annual scientific sessions to bring together the latest, cutting-edge advances in diabetes research, prevention and care.
ABOUT NIS4
NIS4 is GENFITs non-invasive, blood-based diagnostic technology, which was developed to identify patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and significant to advanced fibrosis (F>2), also referred to as at-risk NASH. In January 2019, GENFIT signed a licensing agreement with Labcorp to make NIS4 technology available for use in clinical research through their drug development subsidiary, Covance. In September 2020, GENFIT signed another licensing agreement with Labcorp to commercialize NIS4 in the US and Canada as a Laboratory Developed Test. Since April 2021, Labcorp has made NASHnext, powered by NIS4, available for use in the clinic. GENFIT also continues to explore opportunities to obtain formal marketing authorization of an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test supported by NIS4 technology in both the U.S. and European markets.

ABOUT NASH
NASH is a liver disease characterized by an accumulation of fat (lipid droplets), along with inflammation and degeneration of hepatocytes. The disease is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease along with long-term risk for progression to cirrhosis, leading to liver insufficiency and potential progression to liver cancer. NASH is a serious disease that often carries no symptoms in its early stages, but if left untreated can result in cirrhosis, cancer, and the need for liver transplant. The prevalence of NASH is rapidly increasing as a result of the growing obesity and diabetes epidemics and is believed to affect as much as 12 percent of people in the U.S. and six percent worldwide.
