VERIGRAFT Achieves Regulatory Milestone in CVI Trial

Petter Björquist, CEO, VERIGRAFT

Regulatory green light granted as VERIGRAFT completes recruitment in Phase I/II trial of its personalised vein graft for chronic venous insufficiency.

This is a critical moment for VERIGRAFT and for the millions of patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency without effective long-term treatment options.”
— Dr Petter Björquist, CEO of VERIGRAFT
GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN, May 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- VERIGRAFT AB, a Swedish biotechnology company specialising in personalised tissue-engineered transplants, today announces a major regulatory milestone in the clinical development of its lead product, the Personalized Tissue Engineered Vein (P-TEV) for the treatment of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI).

The Spanish Medicines Agency (AEMPS) has approved a formal amendment to the company’s ongoing Phase I/II clinical trial (TECVI-1), confirming that patient recruitment has been successfully completed and acknowledging the strong safety profile of the P-TEV technology. The regulatory green light allows VERIGRAFT to officially conclude the recruitment phase and begin preparations for late-stage clinical development.

Severe CVI affects more than four million people in the US and Europe alone, often resulting in chronic pain, leg ulcers, immobility, and significantly reduced quality of life. VERIGRAFT’s P-TEV, a biologically personalised vascular graft created from decellularised human veins seeded with a patient’s own cells, represents a potential curative option for patients with severe CVI.

The approval, granted on May 14, 2025, is based on interim safety assessments that demonstrate excellent biocompatibility and no significant adverse events related to the product. The trial, which includes patients in Spain, has been conducted in close collaboration with leading vascular surgeons and academic medical centres.

This milestone further strengthens VERIGRAFT’s position in the field of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) and regenerative medicine, and aligns with the company’s broader strategy to advance standardised, GMP-compliant tissue therapies for unmet medical needs.

As the company prepares for the next development phase, including regulatory interactions and study design for pivotal efficacy trials, engagement with strategic partners and investors will be a key focus.
