DURHAM, N.C., March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Humacyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUMA), a commercial-stage biotechnology platform company developing universally implantable, bioengineered human tissues at commercial scale, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a business update.

“We continued to execute our U.S. market launch of Symvess, and in parallel have taken major steps to expand the commercialization of the product to international markets,” said Laura Niklason, M.D., Ph.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Humacyte. “Awareness and usage among surgeons continue to grow, with product sales totaling $0.4 million for fourth quarter and $1.4 million for the full year. We are pleased that the U.S. Department of Defense has dedicated funding for evaluation and incorporation of new biologic vascular repair technologies, and we look forward to working with leaders in our military and the Pentagon to ensure that American service personnel will have access to Symvess. International interest in Symvess is highlighted by a $1.475 million purchase commitment to enable the education of surgeons and the evaluation of Symvess by hospitals within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We have also submitted a Marketing Authorization Application with the Ministry of Health of the State of Israel for Symvess for arterial trauma repair.”

“We are also close to reaching an exciting milestone, and in the second quarter of 2026 expect to announce the top-line interim result from our V012 Phase 3 study of the acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) in hemodialysis access in women,” continued Dr. Niklason. “This milestone moves us closer to our planned BLA filing for the ATEV in the hemodialysis indication in the second half of 2026. In addition, our earlier-stage pipeline continues to advance, highlighted by our plans to progress the coronary tissue engineered vessel (CTEV) into a human trial in CABG in the second half of 2026. To support this planned trial, we initiated the first large-scale manufacturing lot of CTEV in our commercial-scale production facilities during the first quarter of 2026.”

Fourth Quarter 2025 and Recent Corporate Highlights

Symvess U.S. and International Commercialization

VAC Approval Process and Sales: There are now a total of 27 Value Analysis Committee (VAC) approvals of the Symvess. Furthermore, an additional 43 VACs are currently conducting their review process. To date, 27 hospitals have ordered Symvess, with the majority placing re-orders.

• Major Purchase Commitment for Clinical Evaluation and Outreach Program in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: In March 2026 Humacyte received a minimum purchase commitment of $1.475 million of Symvess to enable the education of surgeons and the evaluation of Symvess by hospitals within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The planned clinical evaluation program is to be conducted in parallel with ongoing negotiations with a KSA-based entity for establishment of a joint venture and license to commercialize Symvess within the country.
  
• New U.S. Department of Defense Funding for Procurement of Bioengineered Blood Vessels: The FY 2026 U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Appropriations Act includes dedicated funding to support the evaluation and incorporation of biologic vascular repair technologies for the warfighters suffering from traumatic vascular injuries. The Company is working with leaders in the military and the Pentagon to ensure that American service personnel will have access to Symvess.
  
• Submitted Marketing Authorization Application for Symvess in Israel: In March 2026 Humacyte submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) with the Ministry of Health of the State of Israel for approval of Symvess for arterial trauma repair. In response to requests from surgeons, Humacyte is also pursuing a mechanism for making Symvess available in Israel on a hospital-by-hospital basis in advance of MAA approval.

Symvess Expanded Results

• Durability of Symvess Highlighted in Two Long-Term Efficacy and Safety Publications: Long-term data from the V005 Phase 2/3 study were published in December 2025 in the Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases, Innovations and Techniques. Symvess was observed to maintain long-term structural integrity, exhibit low infection rates, and support high rates of limb salvage in patients who were followed for up to 36 months in data from the Company’s V005 trial. In addition, an October 2025 publication in Oxford Academic’s Military Medicine described positive long-term results from a humanitarian program using Symvess to treat wartime vascular injuries in Ukraine. The paper reported on 17 trauma patients with wartime extremity injuries who were treated with Symvess and were followed for up to 18 months. These wartime patients were observed to have a high Symvess patency rate of 87.1%, along with 100% limb salvage, and zero cases of conduit infection, pointing to the durability of Symvess in treatment of real-world combat injuries.
• New Data Comparing Symvess to Autologous Vein Published in Trauma Surgery & Acute Care: A new study comparing clinical outcomes of Symvess to autologous vein in the treatment of extremity arterial trauma was published in the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST)'s Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open Journal in October 2025. In comparison to pre-existing patients in a trauma registry who were treated with autologous vein, patients treated with Symvess were observed to experience similar short-term outcomes for patency, limb salvage, and infection.

ATEV in Hemodialysis Indication Progresses Toward Planned 2026 BLA Filing

• Positive V007 Phase 3 Study Two-Year Results in Hemodialysis Highlighted at Kidney Week 2025 Conference: Positive two-year results from the V007 Phase 3 trial of the ATEV in hemodialysis patients were presented in November 2025 at the American Society of Nephrology’s Kidney Week 2025, which is the world’s premier nephrology meeting. The ATEV demonstrated superior duration of use over 24 months compared to autogenous fistula in high-need subgroups, such as women, having historically poor outcomes with AV fistula procedures. The significantly longer duration of ATEV use - six months greater than arteriovenous fistula during the first two years - could greatly reduce reliance on catheters for hemodialysis access, a major cause of complications, morbidity and costs for hemodialysis patients.
• Major ATEV Hemodialysis Milestone Upcoming in 2^nd Quarter 2026: A total of 116 patients have been enrolled to date in the V012 Phase 3 clinical trial, which is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of the ATEV for hemodialysis in comparison to AV fistulas in female patients. An interim analysis will be conducted when the first 80 patients reach one-year of follow up, and top-line interim results are expected to be reported by early June 2026. Subject to these interim results, Humacyte’s plan is to submit a supplemental BLA in the second half of 2026, including data from V012 and the V007 Phase 3 pivotal studies, to add hemodialysis as an indication for the ATEV.

Pipeline Progress

• Coronary Tissue Engineered Vessel (CTEV) Progresses Toward First Human Study: In published studies, the CTEV was observed to sustain blood flow, recellularize with the animals’ host cells, and remodel to bring the diameter of the CTEV in line with the animals’ own native coronary artery. Humacyte plans to advance CTEV into first-in-human study in CABG and has submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA. To support this planned study Humacyte initiated the first large-scale manufacturing lot of CTEV in its commercial-scale production facilities during the first quarter of 2026 and plans to commence the clinical trial in the second half of 2026 upon completion of manufacturing and clearance by the FDA.
  
  

For uses other than the FDA approval in the extremity vascular trauma indication, the ATEV is an investigational product and has not been approved for sale by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. The CTEV is an investigational product and has not been approved for sale by the FDA or any other regulatory agency.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

• There was $0.5 million in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, of which $0.4 million related to U.S. sales of 25 Symvess units. The remaining $0.1 million resulted from a research collaboration with a large medical technology company to evaluate the potential use of Humacyte’s bioengineered human tissue in specific cardiovascular and vascular applications. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2.0 million, of which $1.4 million related to U.S. sales of 61 Symvess units and $0.6 million resulted from the research collaboration. There was no revenue for either the three months or year ended December 31, 2024.
• Cost of goods sold was $9.1 million and $9.7 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Cost of sales for both periods includes a reserve of $8.9 million to reduce inventory to its net realizable value as a consistent sales history has not yet been established. Cost of sales also include overhead related to unused production capacity that was recorded as an expense in the applicable period. There was no cost of goods sold for either the three months or year ended December 31, 2024.
• Research and development expenses were $14.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $20.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and were $69.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $88.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease reflects the transition from development activities to commercial operations following the FDA approval of Symvess in the vascular trauma indication in December 2024, including the current-year allocation of manufacturing costs to inventory and cost of sales, costs that in the prior year were included within research and development expenses. In addition, during 2025, clinical study costs decreased due to the completion or winding down of certain clinical programs, including the V005 study in trauma.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and were $31.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $25.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in 2025 expenses compared to the prior year periods resulted primarily from the U.S. commercial launch of the Symvess in the vascular trauma indication, including increased personnel expenses.
• Other net income (expense) for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was net income of $6.0 million compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and other net income was $67.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to other net expense of $34.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in other net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily resulted from a $98.2 million increase in non-cash gains consisting of a $59.5 million fair value remeasurement of the contingent earnout liability and $38.8 million fair value remeasurement of derivative liabilities, partially offset by $22.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
• Net loss was $24.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to net loss of $20.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and net loss was $40.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net loss of $148.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 primarily resulted from the inventory reserve, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses. The decrease in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 resulted primarily from the increase in other net income and the decrease in operating expenses, partially offset by the inventory reserve.
• The Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $50.5 million as of December 31, 2025. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company raised an additional $18.4 million in net proceeds from a registered direct offering of common stock, and net proceeds of $4.6 million from the sale of common stock through its at-the-market facility. In December 2025 Humacyte entered into a credit facility with an affiliate of Avenue Capital Group, providing up to $77.5 million in principal amount of new financing. The credit agreement, which has a term of four years, includes an initial tranche of $40 million fully funded at close, and an additional two tranches of up to an aggregate of $37.5 million available to Humacyte, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue, regulatory approvals, liquidity conditions. Proceeds from the initial $40 million tranche were used primarily to retire Humacyte’s then-existing revenue interest purchase agreement. Total net cash used was $44.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to total cash provided of $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net cash used in 2025 compared to 2024 resulted primary from the termination of the revenue interest purchase agreement in 2025 and an additional debt draw during 2024 that did not occur in 2025.

INDICATION

Symvess is an acellular tissue engineered vessel indicated for use in adults as a vascular conduit for extremity arterial injury when urgent revascularization is needed to avoid imminent limb loss, and autologous vein graft is not feasible.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

BOXED WARNING: GRAFT FAILURE

Loss of Symvess integrity due to mid-graft rupture or anastomotic failure can result in life threatening hemorrhage.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

DO NOT use Symvess in patients who have a medical condition that would preclude long-term antiplatelet therapy (such as aspirin or clopidogrel) after resolution of acute injuries. 

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

• Graft Rupture
  
  

Vascular graft rupture has occurred in patients treated with Symvess. Advise patients that arterial bleeding can be life-threatening and to seek emergent medical evaluation for any signs or symptoms of graft rupture such as bleeding, pain and swelling in the extremity, or signs of extremity ischemia.

• Anastomotic Failure
  
  

Anastomotic failure has occurred in patients treated with Symvess. In clinical studies of Symvess, anastomotic failure occurred within the first 36 days post-implantation. Monitor patients for signs of anastomotic failure such as pain and swelling at the surgical site, decreasing hemoglobin or other signs and symptoms of bleeding. Advise patients to seek urgent medical evaluation if they have any signs or symptoms that may be indicative of anastomotic failure such as bleeding, swelling or worsening pain at the surgical site or changes in color of overlying skin.

• Thrombosis
  
  

Thrombosis has occurred in patients treated with Symvess. In clinical trials of Symvess, patients received antiplatelet therapy following implantation of Symvess to reduce the risk of thrombosis. The risk of thrombosis may increase in patients who discontinue antiplatelet therapy. Anti-platelet therapy is recommended following treatment with Symvess.

• Transmission of Infectious Diseases
  
  

Symvess is manufactured using cells and reagents that may transmit infectious diseases or infectious agents. The cells used in the manufacture of Symvess are derived from a donor who met the donor eligibility requirements for transmissible infectious diseases which includes screening and testing of risks associated with human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), human immunodeficiency virus 2 (HIV-2), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and syphilis (Treponema pallidum). The cell banks are tested negative for human and animal viruses, retroviruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast, and mycoplasma. While all animal-derived reagents are tested for animal viruses, bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma before use, these measures do not eliminate the risk of transmitting these or other transmissible infectious diseases and disease agents. Fetal bovine serum is sourced to minimize the risk of transmitting a prion protein that causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy and the cause of a rare fatal condition in humans called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. No transmissible agent infections have been reported during clinical testing.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions (occurring at ≥ 10%), were vascular graft thrombosis, pyrexia (fever) and pain.
