DBV Technologies, a leading healthcare company, announced that it has received requested feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding a pair of supplemental safety studies for its innovative ViaSkin peanut allergy treatment.
Comfort Studies: Focus on Children’s Age Groups
The two studies, known as the Comfort studies, will specifically examine the efficacy of DBV’s ViaSkin patches in children aged 1 to 3 years old and children aged 4 to 7 years. These age groups are of utmost importance as they represent a vulnerable population in need of effective allergy relief and treatment options.
Clearing Up Design Elements
DBV revealed that it has obtained FDA feedback that provides clarity on the design elements for both the Comfort Toddlers and Comfort Children studies. These studies will now incorporate harmonized language that will guide the usage of the product during the trials. Additionally, the enrollment process for the studies will aim to recruit populations that closely align with their respective Phase 3 efficacy studies, ensuring accurate representation and reliable results.
Implementation and Timeline
DBV is committed to implementing the valuable feedback received from the FDA. The final Comfort Toddlers protocol design will be submitted to the FDA in the upcoming weeks, demonstrating DBV’s dedication to progressing this promising treatment. The company expects to enroll the first subject in the first quarter of next year, emphasizing their goal of swift action towards combating peanut allergies in young children.
Future Prospects: Comfort Children study
Following the initiation of the Comfort Toddlers study, DBV also plans to begin the Comfort Children study. This sequential approach allows for a comprehensive assessment of the ViaSkin patches in relation to peanut allergy treatment across different age groups.
