DBV Technologies S.A. DBVT

DBV Technologies is a late-stage specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on changing the field of immunotherapy by developing a novel technology platform called Viaskin. Our therapeutic approach is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPIT, our proprietary method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system through intact skin using Viaskin, an epicutaneous patch (i.e., a skin patch). We have generated significant data demonstrating that Viaskin patch's mechanism of action is novel and differentiated. Viaskin patch targets antigen-presenting immune cells in the skin, called Langerhans cells, that capture the antigen and migrate to the lymph nodes in order to activate the immune system without passage of the antigen into the bloodstream, minimizing systemic exposure in the body. We are advancing this unique technology to treat children suffering from food allergies for whom safety is paramount since the introduction of the offending allergen into their bloodstream can cause severe or life-threatening allergic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock. We believe Viaskin technology may offer convenient, non-invasive immunotherapy to patients.
