Humacyte recently announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted and granted Priority Review to Humacyte’s Biologics License Application (BLA) seeking approval of the Human Acellular Vessel™ (HAV™) in urgent arterial repair following extremity vascular trauma when synthetic graft is not indicated, and when autologous vein use is not feasible. In addition, in April 2023 Humacyte completed enrollment in a Phase 3 trial in AV Access comparing the HAV to the current standard of care, autologous arteriovenous fistula. Top-line results are planned to be available during 2024.
A live question and answer session will follow the formal presentations. A replay will be made available here after the call.
