DBV Technologies to Participate in Upcoming EAACI 2024 Congress
DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on treatment options for food allergies and other immunologic conditions with significant unmet medical need, today announced its upcoming participation in the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress May 31 – June 3 in Valencia, Spain.
A flash talk presentation by Nicolette Arends, M.D., Erasmus University Rotterdam will describe data collected on accidental peanut consumption from DBV's EPITOPE Phase 3 study and its ongoing open-label extension study in peanut-allergic toddlers aged 1 through 3 years. DBV will also host a symposium and exhibit booth in the EAACI exhibit hall.
"We are deeply committed to establishing long-term safety and clinical data of Viaskin Peanut in the pediatric population, which includes examining reactions that occur during accidental consumption," said Daniel Tassé, Chief Executive Officer of DBV Technologies. "While avoidance is the first line of defense, the reality is an accidental exposure is likely, necessitating approved treatment options that can help provide protection."
"We track accidental peanut consumption in our clinical studies to better understand how epicutaneous immunotherapy with Viaskin Peanut may help reduce the risk of an allergic reaction over time," said Pharis Mohideen, M.D. Chief Medical Officer at DBV Technologies. "Analyzing accidental peanut consumption exposure better characterizes the real-world clinical benefit that Viaskin Peanut may provide if approved."
DBV's symposium, "Epicutaneous Route: An Innovative Potential Approach to Food Immunotherapy", will be moderated by Stefania Arasi, M.D., Ph.D., MSc., Pediatric Allergist and Researcher at Paediatric Allergy Unit, Bambino Gesù Children Research Hospital, Rome, Italy and current EAACI Pediatric Section Chair and Philippe Eigenmann, M.D., Pediatric Allergist and Head of Pediatric Allergy Unit at the Geneva University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland. It will include lectures by Luciana Tanno, M.D., Ph.D. Allergist, Division of Allergy, University Hospital of Montpellier, Montpellier, France on potential clinical applications of the epicutaneous route, and Pablo Rodríguez del Río, M.D., Ph.D., Allergist Hospital Infantil Universitario Niño Jesús, Department of Allergy, Madrid, Spain, ...
