Montrouge, France, June 26, 2019 DBV Technologies Announces Appointment of Pharis Mohideen, M.D., as Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mohideen brings extensive experience in clinical drug development Dr. Hugh Sampson to continue serving as Chief Scientific Officer DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV - ISIN: FR0010417345 - Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced the appointment of Pharis Mohideen, M.D., as its Chief Medical Officer (CMO), effective July 22, 2019. Dr. Mohideen will serve as a member of the Executive Committee and report to Daniel Tassé, Chief Executive Officer of DBV Technologies. Following Dr. Mohideen’s start date, Dr. Hugh Sampson, who assumed the role of interim CMO in early 2019, will continue to serve as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO). Daniel Tassé stated, “I am delighted to have Pharis join DBV as we anticipate submitting our Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Viaskin® Peanut for the treatment of peanut-allergic children ages 4-11 in the third quarter of 2019. This important milestone is a key next step towards the potential approval and launch of Viaskin Peanut in the United States. I believe that Pharis’ strong track record of drug development, coupled with his regulatory and medical affairs experience will complement the significant food allergy expertise we have at DBV. Pharis comes to us with a reputation as an experienced drug developer focused on the needs of the medical and patient community we serve, as well as being a superb leader of people.” Daniel continued, “I am also very much looking forward to the partnership between Pharis and Dr. Hugh Sampson. I am very grateful to Hugh for his tireless work in his role as interim CMO, in addition to his critical work as our CSO. Hugh can now focus on the further development of epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT®) and our pipeline.” Dr. Hugh Sampson added, “I look forward to working closely with Pharis, as his diverse experience leading clinical programs will be valuable for our clinical development efforts moving forward. Additionally, his career-long focus on patient outcomes is an excellent fit at DBV, as our vision is to make a difference in the lives of children and their families.” Dr. Mohideen brings nearly two decades of industry experience. He most recently served as CMO for Millendo Therapeutics, Inc., where he created and executed clinical development and regulatory strategies. At Millendo, he helped to expand the clinical pipeline from a single indication (adrenocortical carcinoma) to multiple indications and was involved with initiating new clinical trials in Cushing’s syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Prader-Willi syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome. Previously, Dr. Mohideen was Vice President of Clinical Development at Shionogi Inc., a global pharmaceutical company, where he designed and helped lead the company through its first full Phase III development program outside of Japan (naldemedine) and was a core member of the team that gained FDA approval of ospemifene (Osphena®). Prior to Shionogi, Dr. Mohideen served as Executive Medical Director, Oncology at Novartis International AG, where he was responsible for leading all clinical development and registration activities for three key compounds including pasireotide (Signafor®). Additionally, he was the registration lead for vildagliptin (Galvus®) for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and helped lead the EMA submission and approval in this indication. Dr. Mohideen began his career at Bristol-Myers Squibb Company in a global clinical development role. Prior to joining the pharmaceutical industry, Dr. Mohideen was an attending physician and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Hawaii, department of internal medicine (endocrinology) and served as an investigator on multiple pharmaceutical-sponsored clinical trials. “Together with the experienced leadership team at DBV, I look forward to helping the Company continue to develop its pipeline and potentially bring innovative new treatments, if approved, to patients,” said Dr. Pharis Mohideen. “Epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT), by using the skin to activate the immune system, is being investigated as a novel method that could potentially treat food allergies and other immunological diseases in a non-invasive manner. I believe DBV has the potential to deliver new options for underserved patients.” About DBV Technologies Forward Looking Statements DBV Investor Relations Contact DBV Media Contact Attachment |
