Lucid Diagnostics (LUCD) has announced positive results from a National Cancer Institute-sponsored study of its EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Test in detecting esophageal precancer (Barrett's Esophagus) among at-risk patients without GERD symptoms. The study demonstrated an excellent 100% negative predictive value for precancer detection and showed a Barrett's Esophagus prevalence of 8.4% in asymptomatic patients.

The findings support expanding EsoGuard testing to a broader population, aligning with American Gastroenterological Association guidelines. These positive results have led to a larger ongoing five-year multicenter clinical study supported by an $8 million NIH R01 grant. According to the company, if these results are replicated in the ongoing study, the approximately $60 billion market opportunity for EsoGuard could increase by up to 70 percent.
