FDA approves Axogen’s nerve graft for peripheral nerve repair, pending confirmatory trials.
The FDA has approved Axogen’s AVANCE® (acellular nerve allograft-arwx) under the Accelerated Approval pathway for treating sensory, mixed, and motor peripheral nerve gaps in adults and children one month and older.
It is approved for sensory gaps up to 25mm and larger gaps, as well as mixed and motor injuries, based on improvements in nerve function at 12 months—a surrogate endpoint.
Continued approval depends on confirmatory trials.
The product, now classified as a biologic, avoids the need for harvesting patient nerve tissue, reducing surgical burden.
Common side effects include procedural pain and hyperesthesia.
No infectious transmissions have occurred.
Commercial launch is expected in early 2026.
