New York, October 28, 2024 - PRISM MarketView - Humacyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUMA) has presented encouraging Phase 3 clinical results for its acellular tissue-engineered vessel (ATEV™) in hemodialysis access, demonstrating superior efficacy over the current standard of care, autogenous fistula, at six and 12 months. The findings, shared at the American Society of Nephrology’s Kidney Week 2024, highlight ATEV’s enhanced performance, especially in patient groups—female, obese, and diabetic patients—who historically face poorer outcomes with standard procedures.
Key Results
- Superior Primary Endpoints: ATEV achieved statistically significant improvements in both function and patency at six and 12 months versus autogenous fistula.
- Enhanced Outcomes in High-Need Subgroups: Female, obese, and diabetic patients treated with ATEV demonstrated better function, patency, and longer hemodialysis durations compared to those receiving a fistula.
- Study Parameters: The study followed 242 patients over 24 months, comparing ATEV’s functional and secondary patency with those of autogenous fistula, with ATEV outperforming on key metrics at both six and 12 months.
During the recent quarter, Humacyte reported a net loss of $56.7 million. To support ongoing operations and growth, the company raised approximately $30 million through a direct offering of common stock and warrants.
“ATEV’s positive results in challenging subgroups signal a potentially game-changing option for patients with limited alternatives for hemodialysis access.”
Dr. Mohamad A. Hussain of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the study’s presenter
