Humacyte (NASDAQ:HUMA) is up ~6% in Friday trading after reporting that a U.S. FDA review of its acellular tissues engineered vessel (ATEV) for vascular trauma is ongoing.
The news provides a sigh of relief after the company said in August that the agency would need additional time to review the application. The original action date was Aug. 10.
BTIG analyst Ryan Zimmerman, who rates Humacyte a buy, wrote that the development is a positive sign and "suggests that there is forward progress." And while he expects ATEV will win approval, he added the "timing is difficult to handicap."
