Lucid American Journal of Gastroenterology Publication
Current report
On November 7, 2024, Lucid announced that its manuscript for its multi-center ESOGUARD BE-1 study has been accepted for publication in The American Journal of Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG). This is the fourth publication presenting clinical validation data for Lucid’s EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Test, and the second to demonstrate its performance in an intended-use screening population. Consistent with previous studies, EsoGuard showed high sensitivity and negative predictive value in detecting esophageal precancer (Barrett’s Esophagus or BE). With the acceptance for publication of Lucid believes it now has a complete clinical evidence package to submit its data to the MolDX program and formally seek Medicare coverage.
Current report
The prospective, multi-center study presented data from a cohort of patients who met ACG guideline criteria for esophageal precancer screening and underwent non-endoscopic EsoGuard testing followed by traditional upper endoscopy. EsoGuard sensitivity and negative predictive value for detecting BE were approximately 88% and 99%, respectively. Specificity and positive predictive value were approximately 81% and 30%, respectively. No serious adverse events were reported.
Current report
Lucid IP Matters
Current report
On October 15, 2024, the Company announced that Lucid received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a patent application covering its proprietary method of using methylation of the cyclin-A1 (CCNA1) gene to help detect esophageal precancer and cancer, a key component of its EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Test.
Current report
EsoGuard utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) to assess DNA methylation at 31 sites on two genes, vimentin (VIM) and cyclin-A1 (CCNA1). Such methylation has been shown to be strongly associated with conditions along the spectrum from early esophageal precancer (non-dysplastic Barrett’s Esophagus or BE), to late precancer (dysplastic BE), to cancer (esophageal adenocarcinoma). Although VIM methylation had been previously associated with gastrointestinal neoplasias, the association of CCNA1 methylation with esophageal neoplasia is novel and appears to be more specific.

Nasdaq Notice
Previous report
In March 2022, Lucid Diagnostics entered into a committed equity facility with a Cantor affiliate. Under the terms of the committed equity facility, the Cantor affiliate has committed to purchase up to $50 million of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock from time to time at Lucid Diagnostics’ request. While there are distinct differences, the committed equity facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows Lucid Diagnostics to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis at prices based on the existing market price. Cumulatively, a total of 680,263 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after a 4% discount, as of June 30, 2024.

Our current focus is multi-fold. We continue to pursue commercial expansion and execution of EsoGuard, which is the flagship product of our subsidiary, Lucid Diagnostics (Nasdaq: LUCD). In addition, through a separate majority-owned subsidiary, Veris Health, we are focused on entering into strategic partnership opportunities with leading academic oncology systems to expand access to the Veris Platform. In terms of other existing products and technologies, we have created an incubator-type platform where we are looking to obtain financing on a product-by-product basis as necessary to advance each asset to a meaningful inflection point along its path to commercialization. Finally, as resources permit, we will continue to explore external innovations that fulfill our project selection criteria without limiting ourselves to any target sector, specialty or condition.

We have financed our operations principally through the public and private issuances of our common stock, preferred stock, common stock purchase warrants, and debt. We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic and medical device companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing R&D and clinical trials. We experienced a net loss before noncontrolling interests of approximately $33.4 million and used approximately $24.8 million of cash in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Financing activities provided $30.7 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2024. We ended the quarter with cash on-hand of $25.5 million as of June 30, 2024. We expect to continue to experience recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, and will continue to fund our operations with debt and/or equity financing transactions, including current obligations on the Company’s existing convertible debt which in accordance with management’s plans may include conversions to equity and refinancing our existing debt obligations to extend the maturity date. The Company’s ability to continue operations 12 months beyond the issuance of the financial statements will depend upon generating substantial revenue that is conditioned on obtaining positive third-party reimbursement coverage for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test from both government and private health insurance providers, increasing revenue through contracting directly with self-insured employers, and on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources including equity and/or debt financings or refinancing existing debt obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
