Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (Nasdaq: LUCD) has received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for a patent application covering its proprietary method of using methylation of the cyclin-A1 (CCNA1) gene to detect esophageal precancer and cancer. This patent strengthens Lucid's intellectual property portfolio and protects a key component of its EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Test.
EsoGuard uses next-generation sequencing to assess DNA methylation at 31 sites on two genes, vimentin (VIM) and CCNA1. The association of CCNA1 methylation with esophageal neoplasia is novel and appears to be more specific than VIM methylation. The technology behind EsoGuard and the EsoCheck® Esophageal Cell Collection Device was developed at Case Western Reserve University, with Lucid holding the exclusive worldwide license to commercialize it.
