DURHAM, N.C., April 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Humacyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUMA), a clinical-stage biotechnology platform company developing universally implantable bioengineered human tissue at commercial scale, announced the publication of a preclinical study in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery comparing the use of its Human Acellular Vessel (HAV) to expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) grafts for vascular repair following arterial trauma. In the preclinical study the HAV performed better than ePTFE on multiple indices.

Key Points: 
  • In the preclinical study the HAV performed better than ePTFE on multiple indices.
  • In this comparative preclinical study, 36 pigs were randomly assigned to treatment groups receiving either the HAV or an ePTFE graft to reconstruct a severed iliac artery after vascular trauma.
  • At the conclusion of the study, the HAV and ePTFE implants were removed and histologically evaluated for host cellular response.
  • The publication of this preclinical study comes as Humacyte nears the completion of enrollment in its Phase 2/3 V005 clinical trial of the HAV in the repair of vascular trauma.
