Market Reality Check
Peers on Argus
Peers show mixed moves: ANNX and OMER were up (e.g., ANNX +5.46%), while CADL and NGNE declined (NGNE about -2.98%). This mixed action, alongside scanner activity with both up and down movers, points to stock-specific factors around DBVT rather than a clean sector-wide trend.
Previous Clinical trial Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 10 | Data presentation plans | Positive | -5.0% | Planned AAAAI 2026 presentation of additional positive VITESSE Phase 3 data. |
| Dec 16 | Topline Phase 3 data | Positive | +25.4% | Positive topline VITESSE Phase 3 results with strong responder difference. |
| Nov 11 | Trial completion | Positive | +3.2% | Completion of last patient visit in VITESSE Phase 3 peanut patch trial. |
| Jan 08 | Long-term efficacy data | Positive | +29.8% | Positive 3‑year EPITOPE extension results in toddlers on Viaskin Peanut. |

Clinical trial news has typically been met with positive price reactions, with one notable negative reaction around an earlier VITESSE data-presentation headline.
Over the past ~18 months, DBV has steadily advanced its VIASKIN Peanut program. It completed VITESSE screening with 600+ subjects and later reported positive Phase 3 topline data with clear efficacy in children aged 4–7. Subsequent milestones included last patient visit completion and strong 3‑year EPITOPE results in toddlers. A February 2026 AAAAI presentation of additional VITESSE data previously saw a -5.04% move, showing that rich clinical detail does not always align with short-term trading.
Historical Comparison
Across recent clinical-trial headlines, DBVT moved an average of about 11.53%, showing that data and milestone updates have often been meaningful trading catalysts.
Clinical updates show a clear arc: early VITESSE screening completion, then last‑patient‑visit, followed by positive topline data and now detailed efficacy and responder analyses supporting a planned BLA.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement adds detailed Phase 3 VITESSE data showing a 46.6% responder rate on VIASKIN Peanut versus 14.8% on placebo and a 31.8% treatment-effect difference with p<0.001. Increases in eliciting dose and lower sensitization rates in treated children reinforce the clinical profile described in earlier topline results. Historically, DBVT’s clinical updates have often coincided with meaningful stock moves, so investors may watch how these data support the planned BLA and future regulatory milestones.

DBV Technologies Highlights Additional Data from Successful Phase 3 VITESSE Study at the AAAAI 2026 Annual Meeting
- Approximately
83% of children treated with the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch increased their eliciting dose at month 12, compared to approximately48% in the placebo group - Approximately
60% of children treated with the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch increased their eliciting dose by at least two doses at month 12, compared to23% in the placebo group 24% of children on placebo decreased their eliciting dose between the baseline and month 12 double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge, compared to only6.4% of children treated with the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch
DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the company shared additional positive data from the successful Phase 3 VITESSE clinical trial as an oral presentation today at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI) 2026 Annual Meeting, in Philadelphia, PA. VITESSE, the largest food allergy immunotherapy trial to date, is a Phase 3 study assessing DBV’s VIASKIN® Peanut Patch for the treatment of peanut-allergic children aged 4 to 7 years.
The VITESSE study met its primary endpoint whereby VIASKIN Peanut demonstrated a statistically significant treatment effect (p<0.001), with
Highlights from the data presented at AAAAI 2026:
82.8% of subjects treated with the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch increased their eliciting dose by at least one dose, or one incremental step in a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge, at month 12, compared to approximately48% in the placebo group.60.1% of the treated subjects increased their eliciting dose by at least two doses of the double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge at month 12, compared to23.4% in the placebo group.24% of subjects on placebo decreased their eliciting dose between the baseline and month 12 double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge, compared to only6.4% of treated subjects.- All sensitivity analyses were statistically significant with the
95% CI exceeding the lower bound prespecified threshold of15% , ranging from22.1% to27.8% , confirming the robustness of the primary endpoint analysis. - In both baseline eliciting dose (ED) strata, a significantly greater proportion of children treated with the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch were treatment responders as compared to the placebo group.
- Among children with a baseline ED ≤ 30mg,
49.3% were responders versus14.7% in the placebo group (△=34.6% ;95% CI: 24.93, 44.24). - Among children with a baseline ED = 100mg,
43.1% were responders versus14.6% in the placebo group (△=28.5% ;95% CI: 17.51, 39.5).
- Among children with a baseline ED ≤ 30mg,
- The VIASKIN® Peanut Patch was well tolerated; the majority of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild local application site reactions, consistent with DBV’s previous Phase 3 studies.
“Building on the statistically significant topline results from the VITESSE Phase 3 study, the additional data presented at this year’s AAAAI Annual Meeting suggest a broad and consistent treatment effect of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch, regardless of baseline eliciting dose strata or study population analysis,” stated David Fleischer M.D., Professor of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Colorado and Global Principal Investigator of the VITESSE study. “The increases in eliciting dose seen are clinically meaningful and may reflect a reduced risk of an allergic reaction. Conversely, nearly four times as many children on placebo saw their eliciting dose decrease, becoming more sensitized over the twelve-month period. These results not only support the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch as a potential treatment option for peanut-allergic children, if approved, but also reinforce the importance of prioritizing a proactive treatment for this specific patient population."
“We believe the additional data presented today demonstrate that the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch consistently induced desensitization among subjects irrespective of study subgroup or baseline characteristics,” stated Pharis Mohideen M.D., Chief Medical Officer of DBV Technologies. “If approved, the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch would provide caregivers with a non-invasive option that fits into daily activities. To that end, these data support a Biologics License Application, which we are planning to submit to FDA in the first half of this year.”
The presentation will be made available on the Scientific Publication & Presentations page on the Company’s website at https://dbv-technologies.com/events/aaaai-annual-meeting-2026/.
*Responders were defined as children with a baseline eliciting dose (ED) ≤30 mg who achieved an ED ≥300 mg of peanut protein at month 12, or children with a baseline ED = 100 mg who achieved an ED ≥600 mg of peanut protein at month 12, as measured by a double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC). The ED is the amount of peanut protein that induced an allergic reaction.
About DBV Technologies
DBV Technologies is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing treatment options for food allergies and other immunologic conditions with significant unmet medical need. DBV Technologies is currently focused on investigating the use of its proprietary VIASKIN® patch technology to address food allergies, which are caused by a hypersensitive immune reaction and characterized by a range of symptoms varying in severity from mild to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Millions of people live with food allergies, including young children. Through epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT), the VIASKIN® Patch is designed to introduce microgram amounts of a biologically active compound to the immune system through intact skin. EPIT is a new class of non-invasive treatment that seeks to modify an individual’s underlying allergy by re-educating the immune system to become desensitized to allergen by leveraging the skin’s immune tolerizing properties. DBV Technologies is committed to transforming the care of food allergic people. The Company’s food allergy programs include ongoing clinical trials of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch in peanut allergic toddlers (1 through 3 years of age) and children (4 through 7 years of age).
DBV Technologies is headquartered in Châtillon, France, with North American operations in Warren, NJ.
