Humacyte Announces Presentation of Symvess® Long-Term Safety and Efficacy Results at VESS Meeting
Globenewswire· 2026-02-18 13:00
Core Insights - Humacyte, Inc. presented long-term data on the durability of Symvess in extremity arterial trauma patients, showing high limb salvage rates and low infection rates over a follow-up period of up to 36 months [1][2][3] Group 1: Study Results - The V005 trial demonstrated that Symvess maintained long-term structural integrity, with a 92.9% infection-free rate from months 3 to 36 and only three conduit infections overall [3][4] - Limb salvage rates were reported at 87.3% at 12 months and 82.5% at 24 months, indicating sustained effectiveness despite severe trauma [3][4] - No dilatation or narrowing of Symvess diameter was observed over the 36-month follow-up, with average mid-graft vessel diameter remaining stable at 6mm [4] Group 2: Clinical Implications - Symvess is designed to be an off-the-shelf solution for vascular repair in emergency situations where autologous vein grafts are not feasible, thus saving critical surgical time [5][6] - The product is indicated for use in adults requiring urgent revascularization to prevent limb loss when autologous vein grafts are not an option [6] Group 3: Company Background - Humacyte is a biotechnology platform company focused on developing universally implantable, bioengineered human tissues at commercial scale [1][14] - The company received FDA approval for the acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) for vascular trauma in December 2024 and is also pursuing other vascular applications [14][15]
Humacyte Announces Expansion of Intellectual Property for Pipeline Products with Granting of New U.S. Patent for Bioengineered Esophagus
Globenewswire· 2025-09-29 12:00
Core Insights - Humacyte, Inc. has received a U.S. Patent for a bioengineered esophagus, which is designed for patients with esophageal damage, providing protection until 2041 [1][2] - The patent covers key structural and mechanical attributes necessary for the esophageal replacement, including size and strength [1] - Humacyte's patent portfolio now includes coverage for bioengineered trachea, esophagus, and urinary conduits across multiple regions including the U.S., Europe, Canada, and Australia [2] Company Overview - Humacyte is a biotechnology platform company focused on developing universally implantable bioengineered human tissues and advanced tissue constructs [5] - The company is advancing a portfolio of acellular tissue engineered vessels (ATEVs) currently in late-stage clinical trials for various vascular applications [5] - Humacyte's ATEV for vascular trauma received FDA approval in December 2024, and it has also received RMAT and Fast Track designations [5] Product Pipeline - The company is working on advanced tissue constructs for tracheal, esophageal, and urinary conduit replacements, with plans for further optimization and testing in large animal models [3] - Other products in the pipeline include Coronary Tissue Engineered Vessels (CTEV) and the BioVascular Pancreas™ (BVP™), all utilizing the same bioengineering technology [3] Strategic Direction - Humacyte aims to expand its bioengineered tissue platform and is looking to partner with corporate entities to accelerate the development of its product candidates [4]
Humacyte Announces Publication of Preclinical Data on Use of the CTEV as a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
Globenewswire· 2025-09-18 11:00
Core Insights - Humacyte, Inc. is advancing its coronary tissue engineered vessel (CTEV) into first-in-human studies for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) following promising preclinical results [1][4][5] Group 1: CTEV Development and Research - The CTEV has shown the ability to sustain blood flow, recellularize with host cells, and remodel to reduce size mismatch in a non-human primate model [1][3][7] - The study published in JACC indicates that all implanted CTEVs remained patent throughout a six-month follow-up, suggesting durability as a CABG conduit [3][7] - The CTEV is produced using the same bioengineering system as Humacyte's acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) and is referred to as the small-diameter ATEV (sdATEV) [3] Group 2: Clinical Need and Market Opportunity - Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, with coronary artery disease (CAD) affecting 1 in 20 adults aged 20 and older in the U.S. [2] - Current CABG procedures predominantly use saphenous vein grafts, which have a long-term patency failure rate of approximately 50% at 10 years [2] - There is a significant unmet clinical need for alternative conduits due to the limitations of available autologous veins or arteries [2] Group 3: Future Plans and Regulatory Pathway - Humacyte plans to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA in Q4 2025 to support the first-in-human study of the CTEV [4] - The company has reached agreements with the FDA based on a prior meeting, indicating a positive regulatory pathway [4][5]
