The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Humacyte, Inc (HUMA) Misled Investors Regarding its Manufacturing Practices

According to the complaint, Humacyte is currently engaged in engineering and manufacturing Acellular Tissue Engineered Vessel (“ATEV”), also known as “Human Acellular Vessel,” which is a lab-grown blood vessel implant that can act as a replacement for an injured or damaged blood vessel. On August 9, 2024, Humacyte issued a press release announcing that the FDA “will require additional time to complete its review of its Biologic License Application (BLA) for the acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) in the vascular trauma indication.” The press release disclosed in part, that, “[d]uring 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[.]” On this news, the Company’s stock price declined $1.29, or 16.4%, to close at $6.62 per share on August 12, 2024. The complaint further alleges that on October 17, 2024, the FDA released a Form 483 concerning Humacyte’s Durham, North Carolina facility, which revealed violations, including “no microbial quality assurance,” “no microbial testing,” and inadequate “quality oversight.” On this news, the Company’s stock price declined $0.95, or 16.35%, to close at $4.86 per share on October 17, 2024.

Plaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company’s Durham, North Carolina facility failed to comply with good manufacturing practices, including quality assurance and microbial testing; (2) that the FDA’s review of the BLA would be delayed while Humacyte remediated these deficiencies; and (3) that, as a result, there was a substantial risk to FDA approval of ATEV for vascular trauma.
