DBV Technologies is a global clinical stage biopharmaceutical company founded by pediatricians and entrepreneurs who believed that food allergies could one day be treated safely and effectively. With this mission driving our commitment to the advancement of treatments in this field, we are investigating a potential new class of immunotherapy that aims to activate the immune system of patients through the skin.
For more than 15 years, we have been on a journey to advance skin immunotherapy, which merges deep science with patented manufacturing technologies and proprietary manufacturing to develop treatment options for diseases with significant unmet medical need.
Today, we are focused on exploring the use of skin immunotherapy to address food allergies, a devastating condition that afflicts millions of patients. As an important milestone in our journey of developing medicines, we hope to potentially offer the first FDA approved epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT™) treatment for peanut allergy.
Tomorrow, as pioneers, we plan to explore the boundaries of this potential new class of immunotherapy to develop transformative treatments for patients suffering from other conditions, including inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Patients: At the Core of Everything We Do
Food allergies are serious medical conditions that occur when the body has a specific immune response to certain foods. In people with food allergies, the immune system mistakenly responds to a certain food as if it were harmful. The body’s immune response can be potentially life-threatening, such as anaphylaxis, which is a sudden and severe allergic reaction that may cause death.
The symptoms and severity of allergic reactions to food can be different between individuals and can also range in severity for the same person.
Currently, there is no cure for food allergies. Strict avoidance of offending allergens and management of allergic reactions are the only measures that can help prevent serious health consequences for these patients.
For several decades, food-allergic patients have seen limited pharmaceutical development in this field. At DBV, we are committed to investigating and developing potential treatments for food allergies. For more than a decade, our teams of top scientists and clinicians have been leading the development and patenting of a technology platform.
