DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Humacyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUMA), a clinical-stage biotechnology platform company developing universally implantable, bioengineered human tissue at commercial scale, announced it will host an in-person KOL event on Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at 3:00pm ET at The New York EDITION Hotel.
The event will feature Michael Curi, MD, MPA (Rutgers New Jersey Medical School) and his patient Devin Barnett, who will discuss the recently announced top line clinical data from the Humacyte Phase 2/3 V005 vascular trauma trial, the unmet clinical need in treating these injuries, and the use of the Human Acellular Vessel™ (HAV™) in repairing blood vessels.
The HAV is an off-the-shelf, universally implantable bioengineered human tissue, that is being studied in traumatic vascular injury and other vascular diseases. The HAV has received priority designation for the treatment of vascular trauma by the U.S. Department of Defense and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
