Humacyte, Inc. (NASDAQ:HUMA) stock is trending on Tuesday. In July, the company has so far added Dr. John P. Bamforth and Dr. Keith Anthony to its Board of Directors, entered a license agreement with Pluristyx and received Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation by the FDA for its Acellular Tissue Engineered Vessel.
The Details: Humacyte acquired a license for Pluristyx’s PluriBank induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) line to use as starting materials in the production of insulin-producing cells for their BioVascular Pancreas (BVP) product candidate.
The BVP aims to treat type 1 diabetes by facilitating the delivery and survival of insulin-producing islets within the body.
“The combination of Humacyte’s Acellular Tissue Engineered Vessel (ATEV) with insulin-producing cells derived from Pluristyx’s best-in-class iPSC lines brings us one step closer to curing insulin dependent diabetes,” said Benjamin Fryer, Pluristyx’s CEO.
“We are excited to assist therapeutic developers in using clinical-grade PluriBank iPSC starting materials.”
At the start of the month, the company received RMAT designation for the application of Humacyte’s ATEV in patients with Advanced Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). This treatment is particularly beneficial for PAD patients who may not have suitable veins for traditional lower leg bypass procedures.
The ATEV is an implantable conduit designed for blood vessel replacement and repair. It has demonstrated low infection rates in clinical trials and is readily available off-the-shelf for immediate surgical use.
Analyst Changes: Multiple analysts have issued price target adjustments throughout July.
