Investigation Into Humacyte, Inc. (HUMA):
On August 9, 2024, Humacyte announced that the FDA would require additional time to review its Biologic License Application (BLA) for its acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) in the vascular trauma indication. This news sent shockwaves through the market, leading to a 16% decline in the company’s stock price.
Then, on October 17, 2024, the FDA disclosed in a Form 483 that a number of violations were found at Humacyte’s Durham, North Carolina facility during an inspection performed by the FDA on April 1 through April 5, 2024. The violations cited by the FDA include, among other things, references to “no microbial quality assurance,” “no microbial testing,” and “inadequate” quality oversight at the facility for a number of issues. On this news, the price of Humacyte shares fell more than 16%.
Shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman is investigating the accuracy of Humacyte’s prior public statements and whether the company may have violated the U.S. securities laws.
As recently as May 12, 2024, when questioned by analysts at the company’s first quarter earnings call about the FDA’s facility inspection and any observations or corrections that needed to be made, Humacyte executives claimed that the inspection was “very successful” and that they remained “very confident” in the approval of their product.
“The discrepancies between the executives’ assurances and the FDA’s findings raise concerns about the company’s transparency and its commitment to regulatory compliance,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.
