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.
Lucid Diagnostics (Nasdaq: LUCD) has successfully regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, the company announced on February 25, 2025. The commercial-stage cancer prevention medical diagnostics company, a subsidiary of PAVmed Inc. (Nasdaq: PAVM), had previously been notified of non-compliance for failing to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.
To resolve this issue, Lucid was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive trading days, a condition that was satisfied on February 21, 2025. Following this achievement, the company's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "LUCD".

The financing represents a strategic milestone for Veris Health's commercial strategy, including regulatory clearance and launch of its implantable physiological monitor. Management believes the Veris pre-money valuation demonstrates strong investor confidence in the company's long-term commercial potential.
