PRODUCT UPDATES

CarpX Minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Device

• 20 patients underwent successful CarpX procedures in New Zealand, which completed the enrollment and treatment portion of the CarpX first-in-human (FIH) clinical safety study in support of CarpX’s FDA 510(k) re-submission.
• All patients met the study’s primary effectiveness endpoint.
• All patients who have completed their 90-day follow-up, met the study’s primary safety endpoint and the remaining are fully expected to meet it based on clinical observations to date.
• The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted PAVmed a broad patent covering the technology underlying the CarpX device, expanding the PAVmed intellectual property (IP) portfolio that now includes over 75 patents and patent applications across 10 families.

CarpX is a minimally invasive device designed to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, which PAVmed believes will dramatically reduce recovery times compared to traditional open surgery and target an estimated $1 billion immediately addressable domestic market opportunity, but do so much less invasively, using catheters, balloons, radiofrequency energy and other established tools of the percutaneous intervention and minimally invasive surgery revolutions. The balloon catheter device is inserted under the scarred ligament in a minimally invasive fashion, tensioning the ligament while pushing the nerve and tendons away. When activated, bipolar radiofrequency electrodes precisely cut the ligament from the inside out in a matter of seconds. The device design provides physicians with ongoing feedback to optimize the safety and completeness of the procedure.

The 20-patient CarpX clinical safety study nearing completion in New Zealand uses a protocol developed in close consultation with the FDA to support a 510(k) pre-market re-submission to commercially market the device for minimally invasive carpal tunnel release. It builds on extensive pre-clinical work documenting a narrow sliver of thermal spread, as well as safety and effectiveness substantially equivalent to a predicate. The study’s primary effectiveness endpoint is intraoperative confirmation of complete transverse carpal ligament division by endoscopic visualization of its cut edges across its entire width. The study’s primary safety endpoint is the absence of nerve injury as documented by two electrodiagnostic motor nerve tests performed at a 90-day follow up visit.

As noted, all 20 study patients underwent successful minimally invasive carpal tunnel release using the CarpX device and met the study’s primary effectiveness endpoint. There were no device-related adverse events. Key intra- and post-operative observations which strongly support CarpX’s clinical and commercial potential include:

• The final set of procedures were completed in 15-20 minutes “skin-to-skin”, indicating that the CarpX procedure can be performed in the same or less time as traditional carpal tunnel release after only a short learning curve.
• As they gained experience, surgeons were able to use progressively smaller incisions. The final set of procedures were performed through the smallest keyhole incisions that would pass the introducer sheath, approximately 5-10 mm each, with no incision crossing the base of the palm, the problematic area for healing, recovery and persistent pain after traditional surgery.
• CarpX’s balloon appeared to create more space within the carpal tunnel at completion of the procedure compared to traditional surgery, a unique feature which has the potential to enhance both short and long-term outcomes.
• CarpX required less power and lower balloon pressures to cut the scarred ligament in live human patients than it had previously demonstrated in cadavers, an unexpected positive finding which should further enhance procedure safety and effectiveness.
• Most importantly, initial patient feedback has been very positive, including one patient who noted his recovery was much faster than a friend who had a “mini-open” carpal tunnel release and insisted the procedure on his other hand be performed with CarpX.

As noted, all patients who have completed their 90-day follow-up testing have met the study’s primary safety endpoint and, based on clinical observations, it is expected that all the remaining patients will meet it as well. PAVmed will resubmit the CarpX 510(k) application incorporating the study’s clinical safety and effectiveness data once 90-day follow-up is completed in all 20 patients.

U.S. Patent 10,335,189 entitled “Systems and Methods for Percutaneous Division of Fibrous Structures”, was recently granted by the USPTO and includes broad independent claims covering a device such as CarpX with a catheter, an expandable member such as a balloon, and a cutting element such as a pair of bipolar radiofrequency electrodes. The claims are not limited to CarpX or carpal tunnel syndrome and cover device embodiments which can be developed to treat a broad spectrum of conditions, such as plantar fasciitis and compartment syndromes, where compression by fibrous tissue causes pain or other debilitating symptoms. The CarpX IP portfolio also includes multiple international and follow-on patent applications.

EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test and EsoCheck Esophageal Cell Collection Device

• Received FDA 510(k) marketing clearance for the EsoCheck™ Cell Collection Device with Collect +Protect technology.
• Engaged ResearchDx Inc., one of the nation’s leading full-service commercial contract diagnostic organizations (CDO), and initiated transfer of the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA test from the clinical laboratory at the academic medical center which developed the test to ResearchDx.
• Successfully replicated the EsoGuard assay at ResearchDx and began validation testing to establish the EsoGuard Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) under ResearchDx’s CLIA/CAP certificate.
• Filed pre-submission package and scheduled October 9, 2019 pre-submission meeting to secure FDA sign-off on the EsoGuard IVD clinical trial protocol to support a future de novo or Pre-Market Approval (PMA) application, which will seek a specific Barrett’s Esophagus screening indication for EsoGuard on samples collected with EsoCheck in high-risk GERD patients.
• Hired former director of global clinical trial operations of a large multi-billion-dollar Fortune 500 medical device company to serve as Lucid’s Chief Operating Officer, tasked with building the clinical trial operations infrastructure for the upcoming EsoGuard IVD clinical trials.
• Secured CPT reimbursement code for the EsoGuard LDT under the Proprietary Laboratory Analysis (PLA) process, and successfully advanced the code through the CMS Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (CLFS) process, leading to an in-person meeting with CMS to discuss reimbursement under this code.

EsoGuard and EsoCheck are revolutionary technologies licensed in 2018 by PAVmed’s majority-owned subsidiary, Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (“Lucid”), from Case Western Reserve University.

The EsoCheck cell collection device, which is now FDA 510(k)-cleared, is a non-invasive device designed to sample cells from a targeted region of the esophagus in a five-minute office-based procedure, without the need for endoscopy. (EsoCheck animation). The sampled cells can then be subjected to any commercially available diagnostic test including EsoGuard.

EsoGuard is an esophageal DNA test which has been shown in a 408-patient human study published in Science Translational Medicine to be highly accurate at detecting Barrett’s Esophagus (BE), a pre-cursor to highly lethal esophageal cancer (EAC) in patients with chronic heart burn or acid reflux (GERD).

Even though published society guidelines recommend screening in high-risk patients to detect and treat BE before it progresses to EAC, very few such patients currently undergo screening. In fact, most patients diagnosed with EAC are neither aware of their underlying BE, nor that they missed the opportunity to undergo treatment which could have prevented progression to EAC if the BE had been diagnosed earlier.

The estimated immediately addressable domestic market opportunity for EsoGuard is at least $2 billion based on very modest penetration of tens of millions of U.S. GERD patients currently recommended for BE screening according to published society guideline.

EsoGuard uses next generation sequencing (NGS) of bisulfite-converted DNA to detect methylation at 31 sites on two genes (VIM and CCNA1). Complex bioinformatic algorithms are used to quantify the percentage of DNA with methylation at more than a specified proportion of sites, generating a binary result on whether or not the patient has BE. Clinical studies of EsoGuard have demonstrated greater than 90% sensitivity and specificity at detecting BE.

Lucid’s strategy is to advance EsoGuard down two parallel paths, denoted EsoGuard LDT and EsoGuard IVD, which allows it to enter the commercial market and generate revenue while seeking to maximize the long-term value of the product as a widespread screening test.

EsoGuard LDT is a Laboratory Developed Test which uses the above DNA NGS assay to detect BE. Although EsoGuard has completed CLIA/CAP certification and is available as an LDT from the clinical laboratory affiliated with the academic medical center which developed the test, Lucid decided to transfer EsoGuard LDT to a high-capacity commercial laboratory before initiating marketing and a full commercial launch.

As noted, ResearchDx Inc., one of the nation’s leading full-service commercial contract diagnostic organizations (CDO), has initiated transfer of the EsoGuard assay. Their team has quickly replicated, with near perfect correlation, the results from the academic laboratories that had previously performed the assay and has begun the validation testing required to establish EsoGuard as an LDT under their CLIA/CAP certificate. Once this transfer is complete, Lucid will initiate a full commercial launch of EsoGuard LDT. ResearchDx is also manufacturing the custom EsoGuard specimen collection kits and will be performing the assay for the EsoGuard IVD clinical trial.

The process to secure CMS and subsequently private payor coverage for EsoGuard LDT is steadily progressing. Since securing a CPT reimbursement code from the American Medical Association (AMA) under the Proprietary Laboratory Analysis (PLA), EsoGuard LDT has cleared additional hurdles, including technical advisory review, the CPT Editorial Review Panel, the CMS Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (CLFS) Annual Public Meeting and the CLFS panel. Lucid has engaged a leading law firm whose CMS reimbursement consultants previously served in leadership positions in the CMS group which reviews LDT reimbursement codes and held an in-person meeting with CMS to discuss the EsoGuard LDT code.

The EsoGuard IVD path seeks to secure a specific Barrett’s Esophagus screening indication for EsoGuard as an FDA-cleared In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device in high-risk GERD patients as defined by published society guidelines. This will allow EsoGuard and EsoCheck to be broadly marketed together as a single diagnostic tool to screen patients for BE. It requires a de novo or PMA submission to the FDA supported by strong clinical data demonstrating that EsoGuard performed on samples collected with EsoCheck is sufficiently sensitive and specific to serve as a widespread screening tool in high-risk GERD patients recommended for screening.

Lucid, its world class medical advisors, which include the authors of the published society guidelines, and its regulatory advisors, which includes the former head of the FDA’s IVD branch, have designed a robust two-arm clinical study to support an FDA de novo or PMA submission. The screening arm will enroll GERD patients without a prior diagnosis of BE who satisfy the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) BE screening guidelines. The case control arm will enroll patients with a previous diagnosis of non-dysplastic BE, dysplastic BE or EAC. In both arms EsoGuard/EsoCheck will be compared to the goal standard of endoscopy with biopsies.

Lucid recently hired Randy W. Brown, former director of global clinical trial operations of a large multi-billion-dollar Fortune 500 medical device company, to serve as Lucid’s Chief Operating Officer. He is tasked with building the clinical trial operations infrastructure for the EsoGuard/EsoCheck clinical trials, including a contract clinical research organization (CRO) partner, allied clinical research personnel and the quality design control process required to establish EsoGuard as an FDA-registered In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD). Lucid plans to begin recruiting clinical trial sites soon and is targeting enrollment the first EsoGuard IVD clinical trial patient by the end of 2019.

Since EsoCheck is FDA-cleared as a generic esophageal cell collection device, Lucid is also aggressively pursuing market opportunities in prevalent esophageal conditions other than BE.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a common inflammatory condition of the esophagus whose incidence has grown dramatically in the past two decades and frequently coexists with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). EoE patients currently undergo multiple invasive endoscopies to monitor response to treatment. The University of Pennsylvania is initiating a Lucid-sponsored pilot study to determine whether EsoCheck can replace endoscopy in the surveillance of EoE patients, which would have a dramatic clinical and economic impact on the disease.

Patients with compromised immune systems, such as bone marrow transplant and HIV patients, often undergo endoscopy to evaluate swallowing difficulties to rule out fungal or viral infectious esophagitis. Lucid is engaged with physicians caring for these patients to determine whether these conditions can be diagnosed with EsoCheck instead of endoscopy in these compromised patients.

Other Lead Products

PAVmed’s PortIO™ is an implantable intraosseous vascular access device which allows direct access to the bone marrow, a well-established route for the delivery of medications, fluids and other substances, addressing an estimated $700 million market opportunity based on patients with poor veins and those with renal failure whose veins must be carefully preserved for current or future hemodialysis.

PortIO continues to advance through the FDA’s de novo pathway as PAVmed seeks an initial 7-day implant duration. The FDA-requested GLP animal study has been completed along with supplementary cadaver and acute animal studies. This excellent pre-clinical data will form the basis of an upcoming in-person pre-submission meeting to secure FDA sign-off on the protocol for a small PortIO clinical safety study in New Zealand in support of PortIO’s de novo application.

A separate animal study has now documented that PortIO remains patent and functional for an unprecedented four months, without fluid flushes or any other form of maintenance, with full expectation that this will remain the case when the six-month study is completed in a few weeks. This is highly differentiating because all other vascular access devices require regular flushes with anti-coagulants or other substances to maintain their patency and functionality.

Based on this encouraging animal data, PAVmed will initiate a first-in-human clinical study for long-term (up to 60 days) PortIO use in dialysis patients and those with poor venous access in Columbia, South America.

PAVmed’s NextFlo™ disposable intravenous (IV) infusion set seeks to eliminate the need for complex and expensive electronic infusion pumps for most of the estimated one million infusions of fluids, medications and other substances delivered each day in hospitals and outpatient settings in the United States. NextFlo is designed to deliver highly accurate gravity-driven infusions independent of the height of the IV bag, using inexpensive, easy-to-manufacture disposable mechanical parts. NextFlo testing has demonstrated constant flow rates across a wide range of IV bag heights, with accuracy rates comparable to electronic infusion pumps. (NextFlo Demonstration Video). PAVmed has finalized commercial-ready and packaged working samples of the NextFlo infusion set for use in strategic discussions.

PAVmed recently engaged Deloitte Consulting LLP to perform a comprehensive market research and strategic analysis of NextFlo. They demonstrated a very large addressable market and recommended PAVmed seek a long-term strategic partnership or acquisition for NextFlo. PAVmed subsequently engaged the global professional services firm Alvarez and Marsal, which, armed with the detailed Deloitte Consulting report, has initiated a formal M&A process targeting over 70 potential strategic partners or acquirers, including the market leader in the space, who has contacted the company expressing interest in the technology.

PAVmed’s DisappEAR™ resorbable pediatric ear tubes, manufactured from a proprietary aqueous silk technology licensed from Tufts University and two Harvard teaching hospitals, seeks to revolutionize the care of the estimated one million children who undergo bilateral ear tube placement each year to treat complex or recurrent middle ear infections or fluid collections, by eliminating the need for a second procedure as well as the standard difficult-to-administer post-operative ear drop regimen.

A three-month animal study of DisappEAR to support a future FDA 510(k) submission has been completed with excellent results. The resorbable ear tubes, machined from blocks of proprietary silk, performed very well from a functional and anatomic point of view, retaining their position and remaining patent for the duration of the study. In addition, the ear tubes demonstrated unexpected surfactant properties which appear to provide several unique benefits over traditional plastic tubes, including enhanced flow of fluids in and out of the tube and potential intrinsic antimicrobial properties.

Additional animals are being followed for longer durations to confirm device stability and corroborate these findings. In vitro antimicrobial testing is also being performed to determine whether the surface properties have an intrinsic antimicrobial effect which would obviate the need for antibiotic coating. A separate GLP animal study is comparing DisappEAR to standard plastic ear tubes with and without antibiotic ear drops.
