Lucid Diagnostics Inc. Stock Price, News & Analysis

PAVmed (Nasdaq: PAVM) has signed a non-binding letter of intent with Duke University to license groundbreaking endoscopic imaging technology through a new subsidiary. The technology combines angle-resolved low coherence interferometry (a/LCI) with optical coherence tomography (OCT) to identify and treat esophageal precancer during upper endoscopy.

The technology, developed by Duke's Dr. Adam Wax in partnership with Dr. Nicholas Shaheen, has demonstrated 100% sensitivity and 88% overall accuracy in detecting precancerous changes. This innovative approach could replace traditional biopsies, enabling real-time detection and immediate treatment during the same endoscopic procedure.

Under the proposed agreement, PAVmed's subsidiary will receive exclusive worldwide license rights to the intellectual property. The company expects this technology to complement its EsoGuard diagnostic platform and attract strategic interest from endoscopic ablation companies.
