THE TREND
(Boursier.com) – The CAC40 should sign a rebound this morning at the opening. According to the indicators of precedence, it should allow it to regain the ground lost yesterday at the close (-0.82%), ultimately less important than at the start of the session where it yielded more than 2%. The rebound, even if it promises to be net, remains subject to all the uncertainties surrounding the impact of the Omicron variant on global growth.
For its part, the Nikkei recovered more than 2% this morning and the stock markets in China are up, driven by real estate values. Beijing has urged large private and public real estate companies to buy real estate projects from struggling developers to reduce the risk of destabilizing the economy, the official China Securities Journal reported on Monday.

DBV believes that the completion of a new pivotal phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical study, similar to PEPITES (V712-301), is the most direct and effective means for the progression and advancement of the regulatory pathway of Viaskin Peanut.

The FDA confirmed that DBV’s change in strategy was acceptable in its oral and written discussions. DBV has started work on a protocol for the placebo-controlled Phase 3 efficacy study with mVP, and will seek agreement with the FDA before the initiation of the new trial.
