DBV Technologies Provides BLA Submission Update For The VIASKIN Peanut Patch In Children Aged 4 Through 7 Years DBV Technologies provided an update on the Biologics License Application (BLA) submission seeking marketing approval of the VIASKIN Peanut Patch in children aged four through seven years. Over recent weeks, DBV has had ongoing detailed and iterative engagement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the objective of ensuring a complete, efficient, and timely review of the Company’s upcoming BLA for children aged four through seven years. DBV and the FDA have collaborated through meetings, information exchanges, and filings for the VIASKIN Peanut Patch Investigational New Drug Application (IND). Through this process and based on its review, DBV received valuable, actionable input from the FDA, specific to the organization, mapping, and formatting of existing data sets for the CMC and biostatistical elements of the BLA. The FDA has not requested additional data. The Company will take the required time to incorporate that feedback and now anticipates filing of the BLA to occur in the third quarter of 2026. The VIASKIN Peanut Patch is a novel and complex product with no regulatory precedent. Epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT), the VIASKIN Peanut Patch is designed to introduce microgram amounts of a biologically active compound to the immune system through intact skin. EPIT is a new class of non-invasive treatment that seeks to modify an individual’s underlying allergy by re-educating the immune system to become desensitized to allergen by leveraging the skin’s immune tolerizing properties. The Company’s food allergy programs include ongoing clinical trials of VIASKIN Peanut Patch in toddlers (1 through 3 years of age) and children (4 through 7 years of age) with peanut allergy.

DBV Technologies Presents New Positive Data from VITESSE Study and Previews Recently Initiated THRIVE Study at EAACI Congress 2026 DBV Technologies announced new positive data from its Phase 3 VITESSE study of the VIASKIN Peanut Patch in children ages 4 through 7 years with peanut allergy, and a preview of the design of its Phase 2 THRIVE study in infants ages 6 through 12 months with peanut allergy. Both will be presented in oral abstract sessions at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress 2026, taking place June 12 – 15, 2026 in Istanbul, Turkey. In the Phase 3 VITESSE study, VIASKIN Peanut Patch demonstrated statistically significant efficacy vs. placebo in the subgroups of children with peanut allergy who also had another common atopic condition, including asthma, concomitant food allergy, or atopic dermatitis. DBV will also present the clinical trial design of its recently initiated THRIVE study, which will assess the efficacy and safety of the VIASKIN Peanut Patch in achieving ad lib consumption of peanuts in infants ages 6 through 12 months with peanut allergy following three years of treatment. This scientific presentation details a subgroup analysis of participants in the successful VITESSE Phase 3 study of the VIASKIN Peanut Patch in children ages 4 through 7 years with peanut allergy and another atopic comorbidity, including asthma, additional food allergies or atopic dermatitis. In the VITESSE study, 654 participants were randomized to receive the VIASKIN Peanut Patch (n=438) or placebo (n=216). Atopic comorbidities were highly prevalent; specifically, 35.8% (n=234) of participants had asthma, 56.6% (n=370) had additional food allergies, and 61.8% (n=404) had atopic dermatitis. At 12 months, significantly more participants treated with the VIASKIN Peanut Patch met the response criteria compared with those who received placebo across all concomitant atopic comorbidity subgroups.

DBV Technologies Screens First Participant In Thrive Phase 2 Study Of The Viaskin Peanut Patch In Infants With Peanut Allergy DBV Technologies announced that the first participant has been screened in the THRIVE Phase 2 clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the VIASKIN Peanut Patch in achieving ad lib consumption of dietary peanut in infants ages 6 through 12 months in achieving ad lib consumption of dietary peanut. The study is evaluating the efficacy and safety of the VIASKIN Peanut Patch in achieving ad lib consumption of dietary peanut in infants ages 6 through 12 months with peanut allergy. THRIVE is a Phase 2, single-arm, open-label study to assess the efficacy and safety of the VIASKIN Peanut Patch in achieving ad lib consumption of dietary peanut in infants ages 6 through 12 months with peanut allergy. All participants will have the VIASKIN Peanut Patch applied daily for 36 months while maintaining a peanut-free diet. At 36-months, a peanut food challenge will be conducted to determine the peanut consumption regimen for the next 12-months (months 37-48 of the study). Depending on the results of the peanut food challenge, some participants will enter the 12-month peanut consumption period without further VIASKIN Peanut Patch treatment, while others will continue to wear the patch. “Ad lib” peanut consumption is defined in the protocol using prespecified criteria based on tolerated single-sitting intake, longitudinal consumption patterns, and caregiver-reported outcomes. Based on individual participant tolerability to peanut consumption, some participants may be considered to reach “ad lib” peanut consumption (i.e., consuming peanut as much and as often as desired) during the fourth year of the study.

Dbv Technologies Highlights Additional Data from Successful Phase 3 Vitesse Study At the Aaaai 2026 Annual Meeting DBV Technologies announced that the company shared additional positive data from the successful Phase 3 VITESSE clinical trial as an oral presentation at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI) 2026 Annual Meeting, in Philadelphia, PA. VITESSE, the food allergy immunotherapy trial to date, is a Phase 3 study assessing DBV's VIASKIN®? Peanut Patch for the treatment of peanut-allergic children aged 4 to 7 years. The VITESSE study met its primary endpoint whereby VIASKIN®?Peanut demonstrated a statistically significant treatment effect (pp. The increases in eliciting dose seen are clinically meaningful and may reflect a reduced risk of an allergic reaction. Conversely, nearly four times as many children on placebo saw their eliciting dose decrease, becoming more sensitized over the twelve-month period. These results not only support the VIASKIN®? peanut Patch as a potential treatment option for peanut-allergic children, if approved, but also reinforce the importance of prioritizing a proactive treatment for this specific patient population.

Dbv Technologies Announces Positive Regulatory Updates for the Viaskin Peanut Patch in the United States and Europe DBV Technologies announced positive regulatory updates for the Viaskin Peanut patch in the United States and Europe. DBV has agreed to guidance provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on a pathway under the Accelerated Approval Program for the Viaskin Peanut patch in toddlers ages 1 – 3 years-old and has also received scientific advice from the EMA on a 1 – 7 year-old indication in Europe. DBV intends to formalize the Accelerated Approval guidance provided by the FDA via submission of a meeting request. Viaskin Peanut Patch in Toddlers 1 – 3 Years. Accelerated Approval Pathway, FDA guidance for Accelerated Approval include three qualifying criteria: 1) that the product treats a serious condition, 2) that the product candidate generally provides a meaningful advantage over available therapies, and 3) that the product candidate demonstrates an effect on an intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. FDA confirmed that DBV has met criterion 1 and 2. Regarding criterion 3, FDA has provided guidance and suggestion regarding the intermediate clinical endpoint, which DBV has agreed to in informal discussions with the FDA. DBV intends to formalize the Accelerated Approval guidance provided by FDA via submission of a meeting request to confirm the general elements of the two study components: the COMFORT Toddlers safety study, to be completed before BLA submission, and the confirmatory effectiveness study, including the third Accelerated Approval criterion regarding the intermediate clinical endpoint. DBV expects that the confirmatory study will be initiated by the time of BLA submission and would run in parallel to commercialization in the United States, if Viaskin Peanut is approved. COMFORT Toddlers DBV is pleased to have aligned with FDA on a wear time collection methodology in COMFORT Toddlers that provides a practical approach for subjects and families, is intended to generate sufficient data to support a BLA submission, and places wear time into an acceptable clinical hierarchy relative to other study endpoints. DBV has initiated study start-up activities and plans to screen the first subject in the second quarter of 2025. The company anticipates enrolling approximately 300 - 350 subjects on active treatment into the safety study, which would bring the total Viaskin Peanut patch safety database in toddlers to approximately 600 subjects, consistent with prior FDA guidance. With this path forward, the BLA submission for Viaskin Peanut patch in 1 – 3 year-olds under the Accelerated Approval program is anticipated to be supported by: i. Positive efficacy and safety data from DBV’s previously completed EPITOPE Phase 3 Study; and ii. Additional safety data generated in COMFORT Toddlers supplemental safety study to be initiated in Second Quarter 2025. DBV and FDA are in general agreement that the confirmatory study will need to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Viaskin Peanut patch and will need to be initiated at the time that the BLA is submitted. DBV will prioritize initiation of the COMFORT Toddlers safety study to enable the BLA submission. DBV and the FDA have been engaged in ongoing dialogue regarding the COMFORT Toddlers supplemental safety study in 1 – 3 year-olds with a peanut allergy. The focus of continued exchanges has been on patch adhesion, specifically: The hierarchy of an adhesion assessment within the COMFORT Toddlers study (FDA requesting that it be a study objective vs. exploratory assessment); The sufficiency of adhesion data collected during the EPITOPE study to fully characterize daily patch adhesion duration (wear time) given the EPITOPE adhesion data collection methodology, and, conversely, the collection methodology required to generate sufficient adhesion data to inform the Viaskin label in future studies; and the clinical relevance and regulatory use of adhesion data collected in a study that does not include an efficacy assessment. Viaskin Peanut Patch in Children 4 – 7, In September 2024, DBV announced that patient screening had been completed for the Phase 3 efficacy trial of the Viaskin Peanut patch in peanut allergic children ages 4 – 7 years-old (VITESSE). A total of 654 subjects were enrolled, and DBV anticipates topline data in the fourth quarter of 2025. The COMFORT Children safety study is expected to be initiated in the second quarter of 2025. This study plans to enroll approximately 250 subjects to raise the total number of 4 – 7 year-olds on active treatment across the development program to approximately 600, consistent with prior FDA guidance. These two studies will constitute the core studies for a BLA submission in 4 – 7 year-olds. Announcement • Jul 29

Dbv Technologies S.A. Receives Feedback from FDA on Design Elements for Viaskin Peanut Safety Studies DBV Technologies announced the receipt of Written Responses from the FDA on key study design elements for the COMFORT (Characterization of the Optimal Management of FOod Allergy Relief and Treatment) Toddlers and COMFORT Children supplemental safety studies in 1 – 3-year-olds and 4 – 7-year-olds, respectively, with a peanut allergy. The Company also reported financial results for the second quarter and the first half of 2023. The quarterly and half-year financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 28, 2023. Viaskin™ Peanut in 1 – 3-year-olds (original square patch) and Viaskin™ Peanut in 4 – 7-year-olds (modified circular patch) are separate product candidates with independent clinical and regulatory paths supporting two distinct Biologics License Applications (BLAs). DBV received Type C Meeting Written Responses from the FDA on the two supplemental safety studies, known as COMFORT. The COMFORT Toddlers safety study will enroll peanut allergic toddlers ages 1 – 3-years and will support the efficacy results generated from the EPITOPE Phase 3 pivotal study. The COMFORT Children safety study will enroll peanut allergic children ages 4 – 7-years and will support the efficacy results anticipated from the ongoing VITESSE Phase 3 pivotal study. The FDA agreed with a 6-month study duration and a 3:1 randomization (active:placebo) of approximately 400 subjects in the double-blind, placebo-controlled COMFORT Toddlers study. Both COMFORT studies will assess adhesion using the same tools and measurements that were established in VITESSE. Neither the COMFORT Toddlers study nor the COMFORT Children study will require an oral food challenge for participation. The feedback received is consistent with FDA’s position on COMFORT Children in 4 – 7-year-olds, as previously announced in December 2022. Both COMFORT studies aim to bring the total number of subjects on active treatment to approximately 600 participants in each age group, when added to their respective Phase 3 pivotal efficacy studies (i.e., EPITOPE and VITESSE).

DBV Technologies: Good Data, Plenty Of Cash And Regulatory Uncertainty DBV Technologies is a French company traded on Nasdaq which is developing treatments for food allergies.
Their technology is a patch that delivers a very small daily dose of the allergen to desensitize the patient.
The company previously received a CRL due to issues with the adhesion properties of their patch.
The Phase 3 EPITOPE trial met the primary endpoint with a good safety profile.
FDA feedback on the regulatory path is the next critical catalyst for the company.
DBV Technologies (DBVT) is developing an epicutaneous (on the skin) delivery system for the treatment of food allergies including peanuts and milk. After completing a Phase 3 trial in children ages 4-11, the company received a CRL from the FDA for their Viaskin peanut patch due to concerns about patch adhesion. The company redesigned the patch and will need to run a new Phase 3 trial using the modified patch for this age group. Recently, using the unmodified patch, the EPITOPE study met the primary endpoint in children ages 1-4. DBV Technologies is well capitalized after a recent raise that occurred after the EPITOPE readout. There is considerable uncertainty about the regulatory path but longer term these assets, if approved have significant value.
Peanut Allergies and Treatment Options
There are more than one million children in the US with peanut allergies. The prevalence in babies is increasing and as many as 5% of babies have a peanut allergy. Avoidance of peanuts is the primary strategy but accidental exposure can result in severe reactions.
Allergy treatments gradually increase the quantity of allergen that a child is exposed to. The goal of treatment is to desensitize the child and increase the quantity of peanut that elicits an allergic reaction.
There are no FDA-approved treatments for peanut allergies in children ages 1-3. At age 4, children would become eligible for Palforzia which is an oral immunotherapy. It is newly approved and can only be prescribed by a trained allergist and requires an FDA mandated risk mitigation plan due to the risk of anaphylaxis.
In the Palforzia program, under the supervision of a trained physician, children ingest increasing amounts of peanut protein. Dose escalation occurs in a certified physician’s office. At dose escalation, 67 % of patients reported abdominal pain, 36.5% experienced vomiting, 32% reported nausea and 31% reported oral itching. There was a 9.4 % rate of anaphylaxis during dose escalation and 8.7% during maintenance dosing. At the end of treatment, 67% of Palforzia patients could tolerate a 600 mg dose of peanuts. (600 mg is approximately 2 peanuts).
The EPITOPE study met the primary endpoint
Toddlers aged 1-3 who have a peanut allergy were enrolled in the clinical trial. On a daily basis, their caregivers applied a Viaskin peanut patch. The patch at the highest dose contains 250 micrograms of peanut protein which is a very, very small amount of peanut protein. (A microgram is one thousandth of an mg.)
The EPITOPE trial was one year in duration. 244 toddlers received treatment and 118 received placebo. At baseline and at the end of treatment, toddlers received a food challenge to determine their eliciting dose. The eliciting dose is the amount of peanut that causes allergic symptoms. At the end of treatment, patients who were successfully treated made the improvements shown in the chart below.
Before Treatment
After Treatment
Eliciting dose less than or equal to 10 mg
Eliciting dose greater than or equal to 300 mg
Eliciting dose greater than 10 mg
Eliciting dose greater than or equal to 1000 mg
Source: DBV Technologies
67% of children treated met the "success" response criteria at 12 months. In comparison, 33.5 % of placebo treated children met the endpoint. (Note: The placebo response was likely a result of a self resolving peanut allergy.) This result was statistically significant and the primary endpoint was met.
In the trial, there was one SAE which was swelling around the eye. The most common side effect was a reaction at the site where the patch was applied. 22.5 % of the children experienced a site reaction that was severe as compared to 8.5% of placebo patients. These reactions decreased during the one year treatment period. Eight children discontinued treatment due to side effects.
Four children (1.6%) treated with Viaskin Peanut experienced an anaphylactic reaction that was determined to be or may have been related to treatment. None of these anaphylactic reactions were serious. Three of these reactions resolved with epinephrine and one without epinephrine. A long term open label extension study is underway.
