Humacyte reports Q2 EPS (48c) , consensus (24c)

“We were surprised to be notified by the FDA that they will require additional time to complete their review of the BLA for our ATEV in vascular trauma,” said Laura Niklason, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Humacyte. “FDA leadership noted that Humacyte’s ATEV is a first-in-class product, and that Priority Review had been granted, which involves only a six-month review cycle, as compared to the standard ten-month review cycle for most products. During the course of the BLA review, the FDA has conducted inspections of our manufacturing facilities and clinical sites and has actively engaged with us in multiple discussions regarding our BLA filing, including post-marketing and labeling discussions. Based on these interactions, we are confident in the approvability of the ATEV in treating vascular trauma, although we currently do not yet have a revised action date.”
