Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 3, 2025, Axogen, Inc. (“Axogen” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) has approved the Company’s Biologics License Application for Avance® (acellular nerve allograft-arwx).

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01     Other Events

On December 3, 2025, the Company announced it received FDA approval of its Biologics License Application for Avance® (acellular nerve allograft-arwx). Continued approval for these indications depends on verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory studies.

The indications for sensory nerve discontinuities >25 mm and for mixed and motor nerve discontinuities were approved under FDA’s Accelerated Approval pathway based on the effect on static two-point discrimination in sensory nerve gaps ≤25 mm, which provided empirical evidence to reasonably predict clinical benefit given similarities in pathophysiology and anticipated therapeutic effects. Continued approval for these indications depends on verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory studies.

Commercial availability of the licensed Avance® product is expected early in the second quarter of 2026. In the meantime, Avance® remains available under the current tissue framework.
