    DBV Technologies to Present Data from Epicutaneous Immunotherapy at EAACI 2019

    Data presented highlights potential long-term benefit of Viaskin® Peanut 

    DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that abstracts highlighting clinical and pre-clinical data for epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT®), the basis for its Viaskin technology platform, were accepted for poster and oral presentation at the European Academy of Allergy & Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress in Lisbon, Portugal, June 1-5, 2019. The abstracts were published on the EAACI meeting website on June 1, 2019. 

    The Company will present two late-breaking abstracts on safety, efficacy and tolerability from the Viaskin Peanut Phase III program at the Congress. The Consortium for Food Allergy Research (CoFAR) will also present open label follow-up data from the Phase II academic study of Viaskin Peanut in peanut-allergic children and adolescents ages 4-25. Results highlight the potential benefit of longer-term treatment with Viaskin Peanut.

    Viaskin Peanut is an investigational therapy which aims to deliver biologically active compounds to the immune system through the skin to potentially safeguard peanut-allergic children in the event of accidental exposure to peanuts.

    “By using the skin to activate the immune system, EPIT may provide potential benefit to patients with food allergies in a non-invasive manner,” said Dr. Hugh Sampson, Chief Scientific Officer and interim Chief Medical Officer of DBV Technologies and Kurt Hirschhorn Professor of Pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “We’re excited to highlight Viaskin Peanut, if approved, as a potential treatment option for peanut allergy, which can be life-threatening. In addition to the data being presented at EAACI, we look forward to continuing to explore the potential benefit of long-term treatment with Viaskin Peanut, with year-three results from our ongoing open label PEOPLE trial expected around the end of the year.”
