Lucid Diagnostics (Nasdaq: LUCD) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Front Line Mobile Health to enhance early detection of esophageal cancer in firefighters. The collaboration aims to expand patient access to Lucid's EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA test through co-marketing initiatives. Firefighters face a 62% higher risk of developing esophageal cancer, making this partnership important for their health and safety.
The MOU builds on Lucid's previous collaboration with Front Line, which facilitated a major #CheckYourFoodTube Precancer Testing Event. By leveraging Front Line's resources and expertise in caring for firefighters, Lucid aims to increase access to esophageal precancer testing and drive revenue through contracted high-volume testing events.
Lucid Diagnostics, a subsidiary of PAVmed, has published an analytical validation study of its EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA test in the peer-reviewed journal Diagnostics. The study demonstrates excellent analytical performance of the EsoGuard assay on samples collected with the EsoCheck® Esophageal Cell Collection Device for diagnosing esophageal precancer (Barrett's Esophagus) and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Key findings include:
- 89% analytical sensitivity
- 100% analytical specificity
- 96% analytical accuracy
- 100% inter- and intra-assay precision
EsoGuard uses next-generation sequencing to detect DNA methylation at 31 sites on two genes associated with conditions along the BE-EAC spectrum. This study complements EsoGuard's existing clinical validity and utility evidence base.
The American Foregut Society (AFS) has formally requested health insurance providers to update their medical policies to include Lucid Diagnostics' (Nasdaq: LUCD) EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA test as a covered service. This move aims to enhance early detection of esophageal precancer (Barrett's Esophagus) and prevent highly lethal esophageal cancer. The AFS, a leading society of gastroenterologists and surgeons, highlighted the strong scientific evidence supporting EsoGuard as a minimally invasive screening alternative to endoscopy.
The AFS emphasized that expanding access to EsoGuard will empower providers with an essential triage for upper endoscopy, enabling early detection of Barrett's Esophagus. As a point-of-care test in primary care offices, EsoGuard can reduce health disparities in endoscopy access. The society urged immediate coverage of the test, aligning with recent gastroenterology society guidelines and state legislation mandating coverage of such biomarker tests.

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
