Expanded Access Policy
Humacyte Global, Inc. is a publicly held biotechnology company committed to developing and providing innovative and transformative tissue-engineered products to address significant unmet medical needs and significantly improve the quality of life for patients who require vascular surgery.
Humacyte conducts clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of its investigational products. The establishment of the safety and efficacy by regulatory agencies such as the FDA is required by law before these investigational products can be made generally available to all patients. Humacyte encourages awareness of — and participation in — clinical trials and believes that participating in clinical trials is the best way for patients to access investigational products prior to regulatory approval.
For those with serious or life-threatening conditions, when it is not possible for a patient to participate in a clinical trial and all other available medical options have been exhausted, physicians may seek expanded access to an investigational product. Expanded access refers to the use of an unapproved investigational product when the primary purpose is to diagnose, monitor, or treat a patient rather than to obtain information about safety and efficacy that is generally derived from clinical trials.
Humacyte will consider individual patient expanded-access requests case by case. This policy will be reviewed regularly as product development continues, and any changes to the policy will be updated in this location. The following is additional information regarding Humacyte’s expanded access policy in accordance with the 21st Century Cures Act:

General Criteria
We will evaluate and respond to each expanded-access request that we receive on a case-by-case basis. Humacyte will consider the nature of the request, the patient’s health, the available medical and scientific information about the investigational product, the balance of risk and potential benefit to the patient, the availability of investigational product, and the potential regulatory impact.
