−Removed: confirm the consistency of efficacy data between the existing and modified patches, FDA has requested an assessment comparing the uptake of allergen (peanut protein) between the patches in peanut allergic children ages
−Removed: The FDA also recommended conducting a 6-month, well-controlled safety and adhesion trial to assess the modified Viaskin Peanut patch in the intended patient
−Removed: The Company intend to submit the protocols for the safety and adhesion study and the allergen uptake study to the FDA for review and comments in the second quarter of 2021 before initiating the trial.
−Removed: The Company will address details
−Removed: about a new human factor, or HF, validation study and additional CMC data in subsequent interactions with the FDA.
−Removed: On November 2, 2020, the Company
−Removed: announced that our Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, for Viaskin Peanut had been validated by the European Medicines Agency, or EMA.
−Removed: The validation of the MAA confirmed that the submission was sufficiently complete to begin the formal
−Removed: review process for Viaskin Peanut to treat peanut allergies in children ages 4 to 11 years.
−Removed: Following the MAA validation, the EMAs Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, will review the application and provide a
−Removed: recommendation to the European Commission, or EC, on whether to grant a marketing authorization.
−Removed: We expect to receive the first set of questions from the EMA approximately 120 days post-validation, during the first quarter of 2021.
+Added: January 2021, the Company
+Added: received written responses from the FDA to questions provided in the Type A meeting request the Company submitted in October 2020 following the CRL.
+Added: The FDA agreed with its position that a modified Viaskin Peanut patch should not be considered as a new product entity provided the occlusion chamber of the current Viaskin Peanut patch and the peanut protein dose of 250 m
+Added: g (approximately 1/1000 of
+Added: one peanut) remains unchanged and performs in the same way it has performed previously.
+Added: In order to confirm the consistency of efficacy data between the existing and a modified patch, FDA requested an assessment comparing the uptake of allergen (peanut protein) between the patches in peanut allergic children ages 4-11.
+Added: The Company named that assessment EQUAL, which stands for Equivalence in Uptake of Alergen.
+Added: The FDA also recommended conducting a 6 -month,
+Added: well-controlled safety and adhesion trial to assess a modified Viaskin Peanut patch in the intended patient population.
+Added: The Company later named this study STAMP, which stands for Safety, Tolerability, and Adhesion of Modified Patches.
+Added: Based on the January 2021 FDA feedback, the Company defined three parallel workstreams:
+Added: Identify a modified Viaskin patch (which the Company calls mVP).
+Added: Generate the 6-month
+Added: safety and adhesion clinical data FDA requested via STAMP, which the Company expected to be the longest component of the mVP clinical plan.
+Added: The Company prioritized the STAMP protocol submission so the Company could begin the study as soon as possible.
+Added: Demonstrate the equivalence in allergen uptake between the current and modified patches in the intended patient population via EQUAL.
+Added: The complexity of EQUAL hinged on the lack of established clinical and regulatory criteria to characterize allergen uptake via an epicutaneous patch.
+Added: To support those exchanges, the Company outlined its proposed approach to demonstrate allergen uptake equivalence between the two patches, and allotted time to generate informative data through two additional studies:
+Added: PREQUAL, a Phase I study with adult healthy volunteers to optimize the allergen sample collection methodologies and validate the assays we intend to use in EQUAL
+Added: ‘EQUAL in adults’—a second Phase I study with adult healthy volunteers to compare the allergen uptake of cVP and mVP.
+Added: In March 2021, the Company commenced CHAMP (Comparison of adHesion Among Modified Patches), a trial in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the adhesion of five modified Viaskin Peanut patches, to identify the one or two best-performing patches, which the Company completed in the second quarter of 2021.
+Added: Based on the adhesion parameters studied, the Company selected the modified patch to advance to further clinical testing in the intended patient population.
+Added: All modified Viaskin Peanut patches demonstrated better adhesion performance as compared to the then-current Viaskin Peanut patch, and the Company then selected two modified patches that performed best out of the five modified patches studied for further development.
+Added: The Company then selected the circular patch for further development, which is approximately 50% larger in size relative to the current patch and circular in shape.
+Added: In May 2021, the Company submitted its proposed STAMP protocol to the FDA, and on October 14, 2021, the Company received an Advice/Information Request letter from the FDA.
+Added: In this letter, the FDA requested a stepwise approach to the modified Viaskin patch development program and provided partial feedback on the STAMP protocol.
+Added: Specifically, the FDA requested that the Company conducts allergen uptake comparison
+Added: studies (i.e., ‘EQUAL in Adults’, EQUAL), and submits the allergen uptake comparison data for FDA review and feedback prior to starting the STAMP study.
+Added: The FDA’s explanation was that the results from the allergen uptake studies might affect the design of the STAMP study.
+Added: After careful review of the FDA’s information requests and consideration of all other options, in December 2021, the Company decided not to pursue the sequential approach to the development plans for Viaskin Peanut as requested by the FDA in the October 2021 feedback.
+Added: The Company estimated that the FDA’s newly proposed sequential approach would require at least five rounds of exchanges that necessitate FDA alignment prior to initiating STAMP, the 6-month
+Added: safety and adhesion study.
+Added: The Company does not believe this approach to be in the best interest of patients due to the significant time delays associated with FDA review of a resource dependent (non-PDUFA)
+Added: As such, in December 2021, the Company announced it plans to initiate a pivotal Phase III—placebo-controlled efficacy trial for a modified Viaskin Peanut patch (mVP) in children in the intended patient population.
+Added: The study will also include updates to the Instructions for Use (IFU).
+Added: The Company considers this approach the most straightforward to demonstrate effectiveness, safety, and improved in vivo adhesion of the modified Viaskin Peanut system.
+Added: The FDA has confirmed its change in strategy is agreeable via oral and written exchanges.
+Added: The protocol for the new Phase 3 pivotal study of the modified Viaskin Peanut (“mVP”) patch was completed at the end of February 2022 and has been prepared for FDA submission.
+Added: The Company is currently engaged in discussions with FDA in preparation for protocol submission and review.
+Added: The Company expects to complete protocol submission following further alignment with FDA.
+Added: European Union Regulatory History and Current Status
+Added: In November 2020, the Company announced that its Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, for Viaskin Peanut had been validated by the European Medicines Agency, or EMA.
+Added: The validation of the MAA confirmed that the submission was sufficiently complete to begin the formal review process for Viaskin Peanut to treat peanut allergies in children ages 4 to 11 years.
+Added: Following the MAA validation, the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, will review the application and provide a recommendation to the European Commission, or EC, on whether to grant a marketing authorization.
+Added: On March 11, 2021, the Company announced that it had received the EMA’s Day 120 questions, which were consistent with both its expectations and pre-
+Added: filing conversations with the EMA.
+Added: The Company did not receive questions about the impact of adhesion on efficacy.
+Added: In August 2021, the Company announced it has received from the EMA the Day 180 list of outstanding issues, which is an established part of the prescribed EMA review process.
+Added: It is a letter that is meant to include any remaining questions or objections at that stage in the process.
+Added: The EMA indicated many of their objections and major objections from the Day 120 list of questions had been answered.
+Added: One major objection remained at Day 180.
+Added: The Major Objection questioned the limitations of the data, for example, the clinical relevance and effect size supported by a single pivotal study.
+Added: In December 2021, the Company announced it has withdrawn the Marketing Authorization Application for Viaskin Peanut and formally notified the EMA of our decision.
+Added: The initial filing was supported by positive data from a single, placebo-controlled Phase 3 pivotal trial known as PEPITES (V712-301).
+Added: The decision to withdraw was based on the view of CHMP that the data available to date from a single pivotal study were not sufficient to preclude a Major Objection at Day 180 in the review cycle.
+Added: The Company believe data from a second Viaskin Peanut pivotal study will support a more robust path for licensure of Viaskin Peanut in the EU.
+Added: The Company intend to resubmit the MAA when that data set is available.
