Humacyte Acellular Tissue Engineered Vessel (ATEV™) Receives FDA’s Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation for Patients with Advanced Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Peripheral/Endo Regulatory by Comments are Disabled

– Third RMAT designation by FDA for ATEV – – RMAT will expedite development of ATEV in PAD – DURHAM, N.C., July 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Humacyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUMA), a clinical-stage biotechnology platform company developing universally implantable, bioengineered human tissues at commercial scale, has been granted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for patients with advanced peripheral artery disease (PAD). This RMAT designation is granted at the same time as FDA cleared a new Investigational New Drug (IND) application for the PAD indication for Humacyte’s investigational Acellular Tissue Engineered Vessel (ATEV), formerly referred to as the “HAV”. The RMAT designation is designed to provide pathways for expedited development and review of regenerative medicine therapies for serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions. The designation allows for close interactions with the FDA and potentially an expedited/priority review of a Biologics License Application (BLA). This is the third RMAT designation granted by the FDA for Humacyte’s ATEV, in addition to previous RMAT designations for vascular trauma repair and arteriovenous (AV) access in hemodialysis. “We are very pleased to receive our third RMAT designation from the Food and Drug Administration,” said Dr. Cindy Cao, Chief Regulatory Officer at Humacyte. “The RMAT designation we previously received in our lead indication of vascular trauma was very helpful in enhancing our communication with the FDA review team during the filing and review of our BLA. We are excited that this additional designation has been granted in advanced PAD, as we expect that it will further strengthen our communication with the FDA and expedite the development of our ATEV in this important indication.” Humacyte’s ATEV is designed to be a universally implantable vascular conduit for use in vascular replacement and repair. Importantly, the ATEV has been observed to have a low rate of infection in clinical trials and is designed to be available off-the-shelf and ready whenever surgeons need it, potentially saving valuable time and improving patient outcomes. PAD is a cardiovascular disease of blood vessels, affecting the arteries in the legs most commonly. As many as 40% of patients requiring a bypass to the arteries of the lower leg do not have autologous vein available for revascularization, which is the standard of care for such patients. The ATEV has been evaluated in two Phase 2 studies in PAD, with patients followed for as long as six years. In addition, The Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, is conducting a study in approximately 30 patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia, the end stage of PAD, under an investigator IND cleared by the FDA. All patients treated with the ATEV for PAD to date have not had autologous vein available for revascularization, and hence the ATEV may represent an important therapeutic alternative for such patients. The ATEV is an investigational product and has not been approved for sale by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. As announced previously, based on guidance from the FDA, the common (non-brand) name “Acellular Tissue Engineered Vessel” (ATEV) replaces the term ‘Human Acellular Vessel” (HAV) previously used for the engineered vessel product candidate. About Humacyte Humacyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUMA) is developing a disruptive biotechnology platform to deliver universally implantable bioengineered human tissues, advanced tissue constructs, and organ systems designed to improve the lives of patients and transform the practice of medicine. The Company develops and manufactures acellular tissues to treat a wide range of diseases, injuries, and chronic conditions. Humacyte’s initial product candidates, a portfolio of ATEVs, are currently in late-stage clinical trials targeting multiple vascular applications, including vascular trauma repair, arteriovenous (AV) access for hemodialysis, and peripheral artery disease. A Biologics License Application is currently under review by the FDA and was granted Priority Review with a PDUFA date of August 10, 2024. Preclinical development is also underway in coronary artery bypass grafts, pediatric heart surgery, treatment of type 1 diabetes, and multiple novel cell and tissue applications. Humacyte’s 6mm ATEV for AV access in hemodialysis was the first product candidate to receive the FDA’s RMAT designation and has also received FDA Fast Track designation. Humacyte’s 6mm ATEV for urgent arterial repair following extremity vascular trauma and for advanced PAD also have received an RMAT designations. The ATEV received priority designation for the treatment of vascular trauma by the U.S. Secretary of Defense. For more information, visit www.Humacyte.com.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Issues ICD-10-PCS Codes for Humacyte’s Human Acellular Vessel™ (HAV™)

Financial by Comments are Disabled

– Four unique ICD-10-PCS codes, effective October 1, 2024, for replacement of arteries in the upper and lower extremities using Humacyte’s HAV – – BLA submission under Priority Review by FDA for the treatment of vascular trauma, supported by Phase 2/3 clinical trial results and real-world use treating wartime trauma injuries in Ukraine – DURHAM, N.C., June 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Humacyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUMA), a clinical-stage biotechnology platform company developing universally implantable, Human Acellular Vessels (HAVs) at commercial scale, today announced the issuance of four new ICD-10-PCS codes by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance (C&M) Committee. These codes, effective for hospital discharges beginning October 1, 2024, cover procedures for replacing arteries in the upper or lower extremities using Humacyte’s HAV. Humacyte also announced that, based on guidance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the common (non-brand) name for the HAV will be the “acellular tissue engineered vessel” (ATEV). The CMS ICD-10 C&M Committee issues ICD-10-PCS codes to facilitate accurate classification and tracking of procedures. The ICD-10-PCS is a classification for procedures performed during inpatient hospital admissions1. The codes are widely used by hospitals and insurers to support data collection, payment, and monitoring. Obtaining these codes marks a significant milestone as Humacyte advances toward submission of a New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) application to CMS planned for later in 2024. Obtaining an ICD-10-PCS code is necessary to file an NTAP application. The newly issued codes are: X2R50WA: Replacement of Right Upper Extremity Artery using Bioengineered Human Acellular Vessel, Open Approach, New Technology Group 10 X2R60WA: Replacement of Left Upper Extremity Artery using Bioengineered Human Acellular Vessel, Open Approach, New Technology Group 10 X2R70WA: Replacement of Right Lower Extremity Artery using Bioengineered Human Acellular Vessel, Open Approach, New Technology Group 10 X2R80WA: Replacement of Left Lower Extremity Artery using Bioengineered Human Acellular Vessel, Open Approach, New Technology Group 10 The ATEV is designed for urgent arterial repair following extremity vascular trauma when synthetic graft is not indicated, and when autologous vein use is not feasible. ATEVs, which are bioengineered human tissues, are under investigation as universally implantable vascular replacements that resist infection and do not require immune suppression. The ATEV is intended to be readily available – “off-the-shelf” – with the potential to save valuable time for surgeons, thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing complications. Humacyte has extensive experience with the ATEV, accumulating over 1,200 patient-years of worldwide use in clinical trials for vascular trauma repair, arteriovenous access for hemodialysis, and peripheral artery disease. The company’s manufacturing facilities are capable of producing ATEVs at commercial scale to meet the potential needs of thousands of patients. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date for the FDA’s regulatory decision on Humacyte’s Biologics License Application (BLA), is August 10, 2024. This is based on a Priority Review which was granted by the FDA. The BLA submission was supported by positive results from the V005 Phase 2/3 clinical trial, and real-world evidence from the treatment of wartime injuries in Ukraine. In these studies, Humacyte’s ATEV demonstrated higher patency (blood flow) rates and lower amputation and infection rates as compared to historic synthetic graft benchmarks. The ATEV is an investigational product and has not been approved for sale by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. About Humacyte Humacyte, Inc.

Humacyte Fourth Quarter and Year End 2023 Financial Results and Business Update

Financial by Comments are Disabled

-Biologics License Application (BLA) for HAV™ Accepted by FDA on February 8, 2024- -BLA Granted Priority Review for Vascular Trauma Indication; PDUFA date set for August 10, 2024- -Raised approximately $43.1 million in net proceeds from public offering of common stock- -Conference call and live webcast at 8:00 a.m. ET today- DURHAM, N.C., March 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Humacyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUMA), a clinical-stage biotechnology platform company developing universally implantable, bioengineered human tissue at commercial scale, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 and highlighted recent corporate accomplishments in advancing the investigational Human Acellular Vessel (HAV) closer to planned U.S. market launch. “During 2023, we accomplished major goals across all of our clinical programs. In December 2023, we submitted our Biologics License Application (BLA) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval of the HAV in the vascular trauma indication,” said Laura Niklason, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Humacyte. “The FDA’s acceptance of our filing in February 2024 brings us another major step closer to our goal of providing an innovative regenerative medicine product for patients suffering traumatic vascular injury. We believe the FDA’s decision to grant Priority Review reflects their recognition that many patients with severe injuries are underserved by the current standard of care. We look forward to working with the agency toward their Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of August 10, 2024.” “During the year we were also pleased with the progress made in our broader HAV pipeline, including completion of enrollment of our V007 Phase 3 trial of the HAV for use in AV access for hemodialysis, presentation and publication of clinical trial results in severe peripheral artery disease (PAD), and publication of preclinical results for our small caliber HAV in a juvenile heart disease preclinical model. The coming year will be exciting, and we thank the medical professionals, patients, researchers and our employees for their contributions to the continued advancement of the HAV,” concluded Dr. Niklason. Fourth Quarter 2023 and Recent Corporate Highlights Clinical and Regulatory Updates Biologics License Application for HAV Granted Priority Review by U.S. FDA for the Vascular Trauma Indication – In February 2024, the Company announced that the FDA had accepted and granted Priority Review to its BLA seeking approval of the HAV in urgent arterial repair following extremity vascular trauma when synthetic graft is not indicated, and when autologous vein use is not feasible. The BLA submission is supported by positive results from the V005 Phase 2/3 clinical trial, as well as real-world evidence from the treatment of wartime injuries in Ukraine under a humanitarian aid program. The HAV was observed to have higher rates of patency (blood flow), and lower rates of amputation and infection, as compared to historic synthetic graft benchmarks in both the V005 Phase 2/3 clinical trial and the Ukraine humanitarian program.The PDUFA date, the FDA action date for their regulatory decision regarding the BLA, is August 10, 2024. The Priority Review designation is a mechanism reserved by FDA for products that, if approved, would significantly improve the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of serious conditions. Priority Review applications have a six-month review time instead of ten months for a standard review. The Priority Review aligns with the Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation granted by the FDA in May 2023 for urgent arterial repair following extremity vascular trauma. The Priority Review is also consistent with the priority designation given by the Secretary of Defense under Public Law 115-92, which was enacted to expedite the FDA’s review of products that are intended to diagnose, treat or prevent serious or life-threatening conditions facing American military personnel. Presentations and Publications Presentations at a Major Vascular Surgery Symposium – Two presentations were made at the VEITH Symposium, a major vascular surgery meeting, held in New York City on November 15-18, 2023. These include an expanded presentation of positive results of the V005 vascular trauma trial, with the HAV observed to have higher rates of patency and lower rates of amputation and infection as compared to historic synthetic graft benchmarks.Results of the V005 trial were presented by Charles J. Fox, MD, FACS, Director of Vascular Surgery at the University of Maryland Capital Region, a clinical investigator in the V005 trial, in a podium presentation titled “Phase 2/3 Study for the Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of HAV for Vascular Reconstruction in Patients with Limb or Life-Threatening Vascular Trauma.” Results from V005 and the Ukraine humanitarian program, with statistical comparison to historic benchmarks, were presented at a symposium titled “Vascular Trauma Repair Clinical Study Results with Humacyte Human Acellular Vessel (V005 & V017 Data)” by Dr. Moore, Dr. Fox, and Laura Niklason, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Humacyte. Publication of Preclinical Results in Juvenile Heart Disease Study – In October 2023, a publication in the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery described a preclinical study showing the potential for the investigational small-diameter HAV to treat tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition that affects one in every 2,000 babies born each year in the United States. In the preclinical study, researchers from Nationwide Children’s Hospital (Columbus, OH) and Humacyte implanted 3.5mm diameter HAVs into a juvenile animal model of pediatric heart disease. The 3.5mm HAVs remained patent for up to six months, and evidence of HAV repopulation by host cells was observed, similar to what has been observed in human patients. In connection with the study, Humacyte produced 3.5mm vessels using the same manufacturing platform used to produce Humacyte’s 6mm HAVs that are in current clinical use. The HAV is an investigational product and has not been approved for sale by the FDA or any other regulatory agencies. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Highlights The Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $80.4 million as of December 31, 2023. In addition, Humacyte completed two transactions in early 2024 which added to its cash balance. On March 5, 2024, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of its common stock and raised net proceeds of approximately $43.1 million. Furthermore, on March 11, 2024, the Company received $20 million in proceeds from an additional draw under its previously disclosed funding arrangement with Oberland Capital Management. Total net cash used was $69.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $67.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Humacyte believes that its cash and cash equivalents, including net proceeds from the March offering and additional draw under the Oberland funding arrangement, will be adequate to finance operations for at least 12 months from the date of this financial report, well past the currently anticipated timelines for FDA approval of commercialization of the HAV in the vascular trauma indication. There was no revenue for either the fourth quarter of 2023 or the fourth quarter of 2022, and there was no revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenue was $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and was related to a grant supporting the development of the HAV that was completed during 2022. Research and development expenses were $20.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $15.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and were $76.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $63.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The 2023 increases resulted primarily from increased personnel, external services expenses and materials expenses to support expanded research and development initiatives and our clinical trials, including the completion of our V005 Phase 2/3 and V017 Ukraine Humanitarian trials for the use of the HAV in extremity vascular trauma, our BLA filing in December 2023, and expansion of clinical development of the HAV for use in AV access for hemodialysis. General and administrative expenses were $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and were $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The slight net increases in 2023 resulted primarily from increased personnel costs, primarily driven by preparation for the planned commercial launch of the HAV in the vascular trauma indication. Other net income (expense) was net income of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $17.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and was net expense of $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $72.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The reduction in other net income for the fourth quarter of 2023, and the increase in other net expense for the year December 31, 2023, resulted primarily from the non-cash remeasurement of the contingent earnout liability associated with the August 2021 merger with Alpha Healthcare Acquisition Corp. Net loss was $25.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and net loss was $110.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The 2023 increases in net loss resulted from the non-cash remeasurement of the contingent earnout liability, and operating expense increases, described above.
