On September 30, 2025, Humacyte, Inc. announced the granting of a U.S. Patent covering the composition of a bioengineered esophagus that can be produced using the company’s proprietary regenerative tissue engineering platform. The patent, titled "Tubular Prostheses (Esophagus)", provides protection through 2041 for the composition of a novel bioengineered esophagus.
The patent family includes composition and methods claims for advanced tissue constructs intended to replace damaged airways, upper digestive, and urinary tracts. The esophageal replacement is an investigational product and has not yet received FDA approval, but the patent expands Humacyte’s intellectual‑property coverage for the esophagus, trachea, and urinary conduits in the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia.
By securing this patent, Humacyte strengthens its intellectual‑property moat for a new therapeutic area, positioning the company to leverage its platform for future product development and potential market entry in esophageal replacement. The expanded IP protection enhances the company’s competitive advantage and supports its broader pipeline strategy.
