Lucid Diagnostics (Nasdaq: LUCD) announced the acceptance of its ENVET-BE clinical utility study for publication in Gastroenterology & Hepatology, marking the fifth peer-reviewed publication supporting its EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Test.
The study, examining data from 199 EsoGuard-positive patients who underwent confirmatory upper endoscopy (EGD), demonstrated that EsoGuard significantly improves the detection of esophageal precancer (Barrett's Esophagus or BE). Key findings show:
- 2.4-fold higher diagnostic yield for BE compared to screening EGD alone
- Nearly three-fold higher yield in patients meeting American College of Gastroenterology screening criteria
This research validates EsoGuard as an effective non-invasive triage tool, allowing most at-risk patients to avoid invasive procedures while enhancing the efficiency of endoscopy resource utilization. The study supports ongoing efforts to secure positive commercial insurance coverage policies, following recent success with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Lucid Diagnostics (LUCD) has achieved a significant milestone with its first positive commercial insurance coverage for the EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Test through Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield in New York state. The regional BCBS plan will cover non-invasive screening of esophageal precancer and cancer for patients meeting established professional society guidelines for testing.
This landmark coverage decision is expected to serve as a precedent for other commercial insurers to follow suit. According to Dr. Lishan Aklog, Lucid's Chairman and CEO, this development validates their clinical evidence base. The company continues to engage with commercial insurers nationwide to expand access to EsoGuard precancer testing.

Lucid Diagnostics (Nasdaq: LUCD) announced that a consortium of academic medical centers has received an $8 million NIH R01 grant for a five-year clinical study of its EsoCheck® and EsoGuard® technologies. The study will evaluate esophageal precancer detection in at-risk individuals without GERD symptoms.
The research, led by investigators from Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals, will involve 800 patients across five research centers. The study aims to improve Barrett's Esophagus (BE) detection in non-GERD at-risk populations, who account for nearly half of esophageal cancer cases but are currently excluded from screening guidelines.
The study could potentially expand EsoGuard's target population for esophageal precancer testing. The technology was originally developed at CWRU and UH, with Lucid licensing the technologies exclusively in 2018.
