Lucid Diagnostics Inc. Stock Price, News & Analysis

Lucid Diagnostics (Nasdaq: LUCD) successfully completed its first major directly-contracted #CheckYourFoodTube Precancer Testing Event in partnership with the Fort Worth Fire Department (FWFD) and Front Line Mobile Health. Nearly 200 firefighters underwent testing using Lucid's EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA test and EsoCheck® Esophageal Cell Collection Device.

FWFD Fire Chief Jim Davis emphasized the importance of early detection, citing his personal loss to esophageal cancer. Lucid's President and COO, Shaun O'Neil, highlighted the potential for directly contracting with self-insured entities to contribute to long-term revenue growth. The event garnered local media coverage and addressed the increased risk of esophageal cancer among firefighters.

Lucid Diagnostics (Nasdaq: LUCD) has released new real-world data from its ENVET-BE study, demonstrating the clinical utility of the EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA test as a non-invasive triage tool for detecting esophageal precancer and cancer. The study showed that patients triaged to invasive upper endoscopy (EGD) following a positive EsoGuard test had a 2.4-fold increase in positive yield compared to screening EGD alone in at-risk patients.

Key findings include:

• EGD confirmed Barrett's Esophagus (BE) in 50 out of 199 patients who received a positive EsoGuard result
• Post-triage EGD yield was 25%, compared to the expected 11% yield of EGD as a standalone screening tool
• Results support the use of EsoGuard as an alternative to EGD for esophageal precancer testing, potentially increasing compliance with screening guidelines and reducing esophageal cancer deaths
