About this study

This study is consisting of a 4-week Screening Period, 12-month DBPC Treatment Period and an open-label extension of either 24 or 36-months duration so that each participant may have the opportunity to receive DBV712 for a total duration of 36 months. Following 36 months of treatment with DBV712 250 mcg, sustained unresponsiveness (SU) will be evaluated by subsequent open food challenge(s) [FC(s)] at 2-, 4-, and 6-months off treatment.

Maximum participant participation will be either approximately 44 or 56 months, depending on the participant's randomized treatment assignment. During the 4-week Screening Period, participants are required to meet 2 sequential screening parameters to determine eligibility prior to randomization:

  • Assessment of peanut skin prick test (SPT) and serum peanut immunoglobulin-E (IgE)
  • Peanut double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) to confirm peanut allergy and establish an entry peanut eliciting dose (ED). Participants with a peanut protein ED less than or equal to (≤) 100 milligram (mg) will be eligible for randomization.

The starting dose of the eligibility peanut DBPCFC will be 1 mg peanut protein and will escalate up to a highest single dose of 100 mg peanut protein (cumulative 144 mg) via the following schedule: 1, 3, 10, 30, 100 mg. Participants who react, with an eliciting dose (ED) (with dose-limiting symptoms) at or below the dose of 100 mg peanut protein will be considered eligible.

Randomization of eligible participants will occur in a 2:1 ratio to DBV712 250 mcg (active treatment) or placebo, respectively.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged 4 through 7 years at Visit 1 (screening).
  • Physician-diagnosed peanut allergy or children with a well-documented medical history of IgE-mediated reactions after ingestion of peanut and currently following a strict peanut-free diet.
  • Peanut-specific IgE of >0.7 kilo allergy unit per liter (kUA/L) and a positive peanut SPT with the largest wheal diameter of ≥6 millimeter (mm) at Visit 1.
  • An ED of ≤100 mg peanut protein at screening DBPCFC.

Participants may enter the Open-label Extension Period if they meet all of the following inclusion criteria:

  • Signed ICF by the participant's parent(s)/caregiver(s). This consent should be signed after completion of the procedures in the randomized, DBPC Treatment Period, and before any procedure in Open-label Extension Period begins.
  • Participants who perform the peanut DBPCFC at the end of Month 12 and have ≥80% compliance with investigational medicinal product (IMP).
  • Parent(s)/caregiver(s) and participants willing to comply with all study requirements during the participant's participation in the study.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Severe generalized dermatologic disease involving the application area (interscapular region)
  • Uncontrolled persistent asthma.
  • Past or current immunotherapy for peanut allergy, including oral immunotherapy (OIT).
  • Current immunotherapy for any allergen (including food allergy, allergic rhinitis and/or insect allergy), or treatment with any monoclonal antibody or biologic immunomodulatory therapy within 6 months prior to Visit 1.

Participants may not enter the Open-label Extension Period if they meet any of the following exclusion criteria:

  • Participants who develop a severe anaphylactic reaction during the DBPCFC at the end of Month 12 with the event requiring tracheal intubation or leading to a cardiac arrest and/or to coma. Participants with other reported cases of severe anaphylaxis will be considered eligible to participate in the Open-label Extension Period, at the judgement of the Investigator.
  • Any clinically significant disease which in the judgment of the Investigator may preclude safe participation or strict compliance with the protocol procedures.

Treatment and study plan

DBV712

Drug

DBV712 250 mcg epicutaneous system.

Other names: ViaskinTM Peanut

Placebo

Other

DBV712 matching placebo epicutaneous system.

Primary outcomes

  1. DBPC Treatment Period: Percentage of Treatment Responders in the DBV712 250 mcg Group Compared to Placebo Group

    Time frame: At Month 12

    A participant is defined as a treatment responder if: The initial ED was ≤30 mg peanut protein and the ED is ≥ 300 mg peanut protein at the post-treatment DBPCFC at Month 12; OR the initial ED was > 30 mg peanut protein and the ED is ≥600 mg peanut protein at the post-treatment DBPCFC at Month 12. Percentage of treatment responders in the DBV712 250 mcg group compared to the placebo group after 12 months of treatment in the target population will be reported.

Secondary outcomes

  1. DBPC Treatment Period: Cumulative Reactive Dose (CRD) of Peanut Protein

    Time frame: At Month 12

    The Peanut Protein CRD is defined as the sum of all peanut protein doses taken by the participant during the DBPCFC (including the ED and any partial dose given before the reaction).

  2. DBPC Treatment Period: Eliciting Dose (ED) of Peanut Protein

    Time frame: At Month 12

  3. DBPC Treatment Period: Percentage of Participants with an Eliciting Dose (ED) ≥600 mg and ≥1,000 mg Peanut Protein at Month 12

    Time frame: At Month 12

  4. DBPC Treatment Period: Number of Participants by Maximum Severity of Allergic Reaction During the Peanut Oral Food Challenge

    Time frame: Baseline up to Month 12

    The maximum severity of allergic reaction will be assessed according to Consortium of Food Allergy Research (CoFAR) Grading Scale Version 3.0. The scale is Grade 1 (Mild) through 5, the higher the grade, the more severe the allergic reaction.

Other outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)

    Time frame: Screening up to 56 months.

    An AE: any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug which may or may not have a causal relationship with the study drug. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed or worsened or became serious during on- treatment period. A serious TEAE: any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life- threatening, required initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered as medically important event. AESI defined as: Local AESIs- severe local site reactions; systemic AESIs systemic allergic reactions, including those leading to epinephrine use, whatever the causal relationship to IP; AEs leading to epinephrine or inhaled or systemic corticosteroid use irrespective of the causal relationship to IP. TEAE's will include physical examination, vital signs, AEs leading to topical corticosteroid use, assessment of pain.

  2. Number of Participants With Systemic Allergic Reactions

    Time frame: Screening up to 56 months.

    Number of participants with systemic allergic reactions will be reported.

  3. Total Score for Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD)

    Time frame: Screening up to 56 months.

    SCORAD index is a clinical tool for assessing the severity of atopic dermatitis. Extent and intensity of eczema as well as subjective signs insomnia, etc.) are assessed and scored. Total score ranges from 0 (absent disease) to 103 (severe disease).
