France - DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV - ISIN: FR0010417345 - Nasdaq Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the first patient has been screened in the Company's VITESSE (Viaskin Peanut Immunotherapy Trial to Evaluate Safety Simplicity and Efficacy) Phase 3 clinical trial that will evaluate the modified Viaskin Peanut 250 g patch (DBV712) in peanut-allergic children ages 4 through 7 years.

Viaskin Peanut 250 g is a novel treatment designed to re-educate the immune system by introducing microgram amounts of peanut allergen to the immune system through intact skin. The VITESSE trial will use the modified Viaskin Peanut 250 g patch and enroll 600 subjects, randomized 2:1 active versus placebo. The study will involve approximately 80 trial sites across the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. The primary efficacy endpoint of the study is the percentage of treatment responders in the active versus placebo arms at Month 12. Secondary efficacy endpoints include changes in cumulative reactive dose (CRD), eliciting dose (ED) and severity of allergic reaction at Month 12 food challenge.

'I am pleased that the first trial participant has been screened in the VITESSE study,' said David Fleischer, MD, FAAAAI, FACAAI, Children's Hospital Colorado and Global Principal Investigator for the VITESSE study, 'These peanut-allergic children represent a cohort of patients that are eagerly awaiting potential treatment options. I am looking forward to leading the team of highly skilled VITESSE investigators and their staff as we generate these critical data that may one day potentially support a BLA submission for Viaskin Peanut.'

Last year, following productive exchanges with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), DBV finalized the VITESSE protocol and received the FDA's support to advance the study. Previously, the FDA had requested changes to certain elements of the VITESSE protocol with the intent for the trial to support a future Biologics License Application (BLA).

'The initiation of the VITESSE Phase 3 Study in peanut-allergic children ages 4 - 7 years represents a culmination of years of research and collaboration between DBV, FDA, patient groups, site investigators, trial centers, and, of course, the support and unwavering encouragement from food-allergic families,' said Pharis Mohideen, MD, Chief Medical Officer, DBV Technologies. 'DBV is proud to see that patient screening has begun in Q1 2023. This important milestone reflects incredible work from the DBV team and swift action in beginning enrollment from Principal Investigators like Dr. Dareen Siri and others. We are grateful for the strong collaboration that will continue throughout the VITESSE study.'

Principal Investigator, Dr. Dareen Siri, FAAAAI, FACAAI from Midwest Allergy Sinus Asthma, in Normal and Springfield, Illinois was the first to conduct a screening visit for a potential new enrollee.

'I am thrilled that our talented team of clinicians was the first to screen a patient for the VITESSE clinical study,' said Dareen Siri, MD, Midwest Allergy Sinus Asthma, Normal, IL. 'The initiation of patient enrollment in VITESSE reinforces our commitment to peanut-allergic children and their families and is an important step in generating the data needed to potentially advance Viaskin Peanut to market. I am grateful that peanut-allergic children have the opportunity to participate in a trial that may one day help other kids just like them living with peanut allergy. There is a lot of excitement around the VITESSE study, and I am proud our team will be an integral part of it.' DBV anticipates screening the last patient in 1H 2024 and announcing topline results in 1H 2025.
