DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that its planned resubmission of the Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Viaskin Peanut in the treatment of peanut-allergic children 4 to 11 years of age is anticipated in the third quarter of 2019.

“We appreciate the detailed feedback the FDA provided in December 2018, which has allowed us to make meaningful headway in addressing the information requests needed for a BLA resubmission,” said Daniel Tasse, Chief Executive Officer of DBV Technologies. “We are working diligently on our Viaskin Peanut BLA, bringing us one step closer to potentially providing an FDA-approved treatment for peanut-allergic children and their families.”

In December 2018, DBV voluntarily withdrew its BLA for Viaskin Peanut following correspondence with the FDA regarding additional data needs on manufacturing procedures and quality controls. Based on the progress in addressing the FDA’s guidance, the Company anticipates compiling the required information for the resubmission of its Viaskin Peanut BLA in the third quarter of 2019.  

Viaskin Peanut previously received Breakthrough and Fast Track designations for the treatment of peanut-allergic children from the FDA in 2015 and 2012, respectively.
