Management of severe food allergies

Partner

 

DBV Technologies is a global clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a novel class of immunotherapy against food allergies. Their investigational treatment portfolio is built over Viaskin® platform, a novel technology constituted of an electrostatic patch that activates the immune system through the skin. A family of treatments is being developed over such platform, of which the treatment against peanut allergies « Viaskin® Peanut » is the most advanced programme.

Project

While DBV Technologies was progressively accumulating data from Phase II and III clinical studies over Viaskin® Peanut, they asked DNAlytics to elaborate dedicated models capable of monitoring the patient reaction to the treatment, and of predicting the treatment outcome.

Results

DNAlytics team processed patient data (treated + placebo-controlled individuals), including epidemiological and demographic data, treatment doses, as well as various generic and peanut-specific protein markers from blood-based follow-up. DNAlytics results helped in understanding the treatment progression and proposed promising approaches to potentially assist with assessing the efficacy of Viaskin® Peanut. Additional studies are ongoing to understand whether a particular combination of some measured quantities could potentially act as reliable biomarkers for understanding patient response.
