FDA Approves Humacyte’s Symvess ATEV: A Breakthrough in Regenerative Medicine for Vascular Trauma Treatment

FDA Approval:
The FDA has granted full approval for Humacyte's Symvess ATEV, a bioengineered human tissue designed for use in adults as a vascular conduit for extremity arterial injury when urgent revascularization is needed to avoid imminent limb loss and when autologous vein graft is not feasible3.

Regenerative Medicine Milestone:
This approval marks a significant milestone in regenerative medicine, offering a universally implantable vascular conduit that does not require further injuring the patient to obtain vascular repair material3.

Clinical Trials:
The approval was based on positive results from the V005 pivotal phase 2/3 clinical study and real-world evidence in Ukraine under a humanitarian aid program3.

Lab-Grown Vessels:
Humacyte's ATEVs are created using human cells to form vascular structures that integrate with the body over time, eliminating the need for synthetic grafts and patient-derived tissue2.

Multiple Applications:
The company is exploring multiple applications for its vessels, including in cardiac bypass surgery and dialysis, with promising results in trauma patients and soldiers injured in conflict zones2.
