Vericel Corporation , a leading developer of patient-specific expanded cellular therapies for the treatment of severe diseases and conditions, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the Company's Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) supplement for Epicel® (cultured epidermal autografts) to revise the labeled indications of use to specifically include pediatric patients and to add pediatric labeling. The revised product label also specifies that the probable benefit of Epicel, mainly related to survival, was demonstrated in two Epicel clinical experience databases and a randomized, controlled, independent physician-sponsored study comparing outcomes in patients with severe burns treated with Epicel and standard care compared to standard care alone.
