The bioengineered liver is manufactured by seeding a decellularized porcine liver scaffold with allogeneic human endothelial cells and human liver cells isolated from donated human livers. The donated human livers are not suitable for transplantation and are provided by organ procurement organizations.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn January, United Therapeutics <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fir.unither.com%2Fpress-releases%2F2026%2F01-26-2026-120028746&amp;esheet=54480562&amp;newsitemid=20260408473035&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=announced&amp;index=1&amp;md5=2ab7c664cc834a04fc5ea0835c5ed75b\">announced<\/a> positive results from its phase 1 study of miroliver<i>ELAP <\/i>in patients with acute forms of liver failure, acute-on-chronic liver failure, and severe acute alcoholic hepatitis, collectively called acute liver failure (<b>ALF<\/b>). Full study results will be published in the second half of 2026. miroliver<i>ELAP<\/i> is investigational and is not approved for any use in any country. In addition to miroliver<i>ELAP<\/i>, United Therapeutics and Miromatrix are developing mirokidney<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, a fully transplantable bioengineered kidney, utilizing the same decellularization and seeding technology used in miroliver<i>ELAP<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe FDA\u2019s RMAT designation is a specialized program created to accelerate the development and regulatory review of promising regenerative medicine therapies that target serious or life-threatening diseases with unmet medical needs while maintaining rigorous safety and efficacy standards. To receive RMAT designation, a therapy must demonstrate preliminary clinical evidence of potential efficacy in treating, modifying, reversing, or curing such conditions. Once designated, sponsors receive intensive FDA guidance throughout the development process, including advice on efficient study design, surrogate endpoints, and pathways to accelerated approval. The designation also provides significant regulatory advantages, such as eligibility for priority review, rolling review of Biologics License Application materials, and enhanced organizational commitment from the FDA to expedite the overall development and approval timeline.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cReceiving this designation from the FDA highlights both the critical unmet need we are addressing and the promising potential of miroliver<i>ELAP<\/i> as a novel therapeutic option,\u201d said <b>Jeff Ross, Ph.D.<\/b>, President of Miromatrix. \u201cWe look forward to continuing our collaborative exchange with the FDA as we advance the clinical development of miroliver<i>ELAP<\/i> for patients with acute liver failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nALF, a devastating condition that affects thousands of patients each year, is characterized by a rapid loss of liver function in a matter of days or weeks. Approximately 45% of ALF patients will experience spontaneous recovery, while 25% will receive a liver transplant, the only effective ALF treatment. Approximately 30% of ALF patients will die because they are ineligible for a liver transplant or are unable to receive one in time due to the rapid onset of the disease and the drastic shortage of transplantable organs.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\nUnited Therapeutics\u2019 organ and organ alternative manufacturing efforts consist of three platforms \u2014 xenotransplantation, allogeneic regenerative medicine, and autologous regenerative medicine \u2014 encompassing four different organs: hearts, kidneys, livers, and lungs. These programs are intended to address the ongoing shortage of transplantable organs for patients with end-stage organ disease.<\/p>\n<p><b>About United Therapeutics<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nFounded by CEO Martine Rothblatt to discover a cure for her daughter&#8217;s life-threatening rare disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, United Therapeutics transforms the treatment of rare diseases and pioneers alternatives to expand the supply of transplantable organs.
