Shares in French peanut allergy specialist DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV) were boosted 20% in pre-market trading on Thursday, after the firm announced positive topline results from the Phase III PEPITES trial.

DBV is testing the efficacy and safety of investigational Viaskin Peanut in peanut-allergic children ages four to 11 years.

The results show long-term clinical benefit, as demonstrated by an increase in eliciting dose (ED), which could decrease the chance of reacting to accidental peanut exposure.
