The investment in DBV

Technologies provides an opportunity for ALK to enter a collaboration on developing a new promising vaccine against peanut allergy. The peanut allergy vaccine, which is currently being developed by DBV Technologies, is based on a proprietary electro charged patch technology offering gradual uptake of the active vaccine ingredients through the skin.

Peanut allergy is one

of the most severe food allergies. Peanut allergic patients may experience severe allergic reactions or even anaphylaxis when accidentally exposed to peanut allergens. Currently, there are no allergy vaccine products or proven technologies available for the treatment of patients suffering from peanut allergy. As a result, patients rely on strict avoidance of peanuts combined with adrenaline auto-injectors for self-administration in case of an allergic emergency.
