--News Direct--
Vascudyne, Inc., a biotechnology trailblazer in regenerative medicine, announced today that the first clinical results of TRUE AVC™ acellular vascular conduit in hemodialysis access will be presented at the Vascular Access Society of the Americas (VASA) conference in Charleston, South Carolina at 11:20 am EDT on June 10, 2022.
The presentation, titled "First in Human Evaluation of a Novel Biologic Regenerative Vascular Conduit for Hemodialysis Access", will be made by Vascudyne's medical advisor Monnie Wasse, MD, MPH, FASN, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology and Department of Internal Medicine at Rush University Medical Center. Dr. Wasse serves as Vice-Chairperson for Clinical Operations for the Department of Medicine and is also the Director of Interventional Nephrology, focused on the planning and maintenance of dialysis vascular access for patients with kidney diseases. Dr. Wasse will present 6-month results and preliminary evidence of the safety and effectiveness of the device as a conduit for hemodialysis vascular access.
Vascudyne's TRUE™ Tissue products are unique, 100% biological, and become the patient's own living and functional tissue. Nothing synthetic or artificial is ever used in the manufacturing process, in contrast to other regenerative medicine cardiovascular devices with synthetic polymer-based scaffolds that slowly degrade in the body and may lead to adverse immune response.
"Dr. Wasse brings extensive experience and clinical expertise to our medical advisory board, and we are excited she is presenting the promising initial results from the TRUE AVC studies," said Mark Stenoien, Vascudyne's Chief Regulatory and Clinical Science Officer.
Vascudyne announced in February its relocation to a high capacity GMP manufacturing facility to support TRUE AVC manufacturing through commercialization. "We are excited to share our first clinical results with our TRUE Tissue technology in hemodialysis access and have been working on developing our platform technology to address additional cardiovascular diseases" said Dr. Zeeshan Syedain, Vascudyne's Chief Scientific Officer. "Our move to the new facility dramatically increased our GMP manufacturing space and added a dedicated cleanroom that is poised to support our ongoing TRUE AVC clinical studies all the way to commercialization," added Dr. Syedain.
TRUE AVC is not available for commercial sale.
