Post-Marketing Confirmatory Study
In the recent written communication, FDA confirmed criteria for a post-marketing confirmatory study in toddlers 1
3-years-old. DBV and FDA agreed that the confirmatory study will assess the effectiveness of the intended commercial Viaskin Peanut patch and will need to be initiated
at the time that the BLA is submitted.
To date, the commercial patch has been used in 304 subjects with over 234,695 patient-days of therapy in the
placebo crossover and the EPITOPE Open Label Extension, with no clinically relevant differences in efficacy or safety vs. the clinical patch used in the EPITOPE Phase 3 trial.
The confirmatory study will include a double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) and will use the same statistical criteria for success
(i.e., lower bound of the 95% CI > 15%) as used in the EPITOPE Phase 3 efficacy study. Adhesion data for the post-marketing confirmatory study will be collected in a similar manner relative to the COMFORT Toddlers study. The Company
expects these data will further support the importance of average daily wear time in the use of the Viaskin Peanut patch as it relates to efficacy and labeling.
When it comes to food allergy management, what works for one family, might not work for another. That is why having varied treatment options
available is so incredibly important to our community, said Sung Poblete, PhD, RN, CEO of FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education). Im pleased to learn that DBVs constructive dialogue with
the FDA has resulted in this Accelerated Approval guidance outlining remaining developmental steps for the Viaskin Peanut patch in toddlers with a peanut allergy. At FARE, we look forward to the possibility that one day, if approved, caregivers and
families will have this exciting new treatment as an option to consider.
COMFORT Toddlers Supplemental Safety Study
COMFORT Toddlers is a Phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled (DBPC) study designed to generate additional safety (primary endpoint) and
adhesion data of the Viaskin Peanut patch in peanut allergic toddlers 1 3-years old. DBV is pleased to announce that Dr. Julie Wang, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, Jaffe Food Allergy Institute, the
Icahn school of Medicine at Mount Sinai, will act as the Global Principal Investigator for the COMFORT Toddlers study.
