DBV Technologies Announces Filing and Validation of Marketing Authorization Application for Viaskin™ Peanut by European Medicines Agency
DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that its Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for its investigational product Viaskin™ Peanut (DBV712) has been validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The validation of the MAA confirms that the submission is sufficiently complete to begin the formal review process for the investigational non-invasive, once-daily epicutaneous patch to treat peanut allergies in children ages 4 to 11 years.
Following the MAA validation, the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) will review the application and provide a recommendation to the European Commission (EC) on whether to grant a marketing authorization. DBV expects to receive the first set of questions from the EMA approximately 120 days post-validation.
In August 2020, the Company announced that it had received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Biologics License Application (BLA) for investigational Viaskin™ Peanut. The Company is in the process of engaging FDA to discuss the regulatory path forward.
