Viaskin Peanut Offers Protection from Allergies

Oct-27-16 The Viaskin Peanut skin patch from DBV Technologies could help protect and treat people with peanut allergies.

The Viaskin Peanut patch was developed based on the research that delivering small amounts of peanut protein through the skin can help treat children with peanut allergy. To test the patch’s effectiveness, the team followed a group of volunteers who wore the patch for one year. According to the team, almost half of the patients who wore the patch were able to safely ingest at least ten times more peanut protein than they could before the procedure.
