PAVmed Inc. (“PAVmed” or the “Company”) together with its majority owned subsidiaries, Lucid Diagnostics, Inc. (“Lucid Diagnostics” or “LUCID”), Veris Health, Inc. (“Veris Health” or “VERIS”), and Solys Diagnostics, Inc. (“Solys Diagnostics” or “SOLYS”), were organized to advance a broad pipeline of innovative medical technologies from concept to commercialization, employing a business model focused on capital efficiency and speed to market. The Company’s activities have focused on advancing the lead products towards regulatory approval and commercialization, protecting its intellectual property, and building its corporate infrastructure and management team. The Company operates in one segment as a medical technology company.

 

The ability of the Company to generate revenue depends upon the Company’s ability to successfully advance the commercialization of EsoGuard and CarpX while also completing the development and the necessary regulatory approvals of its other products and services. In this regard:

 

  EsoCheck has received 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA as an esophageal cell collection device in June 2019;
     
  EsoGuard completed the certification required by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (“CLIA”) and accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (“CAP”) making it commercially available as a Laboratory Developed Test (“LDT”) at LUCID’s contract diagnostic laboratory service provider in California in December 2019; and,
     
  CarpX, developed as a patented, single-use, disposable, minimally invasive device designed as a precision cutting tool to treat carpal tunnel syndrome while reducing recovery times, received 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA in April 2020 with the first commercial procedure successfully performed in December 2020.

 

Although the Company’s current operational activities are principally focused on the commercialization of EsoGuard and CarpX its development activities are focused on pursuing FDA approval and clearance of other lead products in our product portfolio pipeline, including EsoGuard IVD, PortIO, DisappEAR, NextFlo, EsoCure and digital health technologies acquired by the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary Veris Health Inc.

 

Lucid Diagnostics Inc. Initial Public Offering - October 14, 2021

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company holds a majority ownership interest and has controlling financial interest in each of: Lucid Diagnostics Inc., Veris Health Inc., and Solys Diagnostics Inc. with the corresponding noncontrolling interest included as a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity (deficit), including the recognition in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest based on the respective minority interest equity ownership of each majority-owned subsidiary. See Note 12, Noncontrolling Interest, for a discussion of each of the majority-owned subsidiaries noted above.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of routine recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial information.

 

The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the PAVmed Inc and Subsidiaries audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021.

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include the estimated fair value of stock-based equity awards, and the estimated fair value of financial instruments recognized as liabilities. In addition, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”). At its inception, an arrangement is accounted for under the provisions of ASC 606 as a contract with a customer when there is: a legally enforceable contract between the parties; the rights of the parties are identified; the arrangement has commercial substance; and collectability of the contract consideration is deemed probable. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Statement of Cash Flows - Supplemental Information

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows supplemental information as of September 30, 2021 is as follows: cash flows used in investing activities with respect to the purchase of fixed assets of $192 is net of $153 included in accounts payable and $60 included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021; and cash flows from financing activities with respect to proceeds from exercise of warrants of $4,115 is net of each of $568 of exercise proceeds from the exercise of 354,996 Series Z Warrants, and $20 from the exercise of 3,945 Series W Warrants, with such exercise proceeds received from the Company’s transfer agent subsequent to September 30, 2021 on October 4, 2021, with such amounts due from the transfer agent included prepaid expenses, deposits, and other current assets, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.

 

Financial Condition

 

The Company has financed its operations principally through the public and private issuances of its common stock, preferred stock, common stock purchase warrants, and debt. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic and medical device companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing R&D and clinical trials. The Company expects to continue to experience recurring losses from operations and will continue to fund its operations with debt and equity financing transactions. Notwithstanding, however, with the cash on-hand as of the date hereof, the Company expects to be able to fund its future operations for one year from the date of the issue of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as included herein in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates

 

Accounting Standards Updates Adopted

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40), (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, by eliminating the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models previously contained in ASC 470-20 that required separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also simplified the assessment of a financial instruments settlement to determine whether a contract is an entity’s own equity qualifies for equity classification by removing certain conditions from ASC 815-4-25. The ASU 2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s adoption of the ASU 2020-06 guidance as of January 1, 2021 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, (“ASU 2019-12”). The guidance of ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocation, and calculating income taxes in interim periods, and adds revised guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. Adoption of the guidance of ASU 2019-12 is required for annual and interim financial statements beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company’s adoption of the ASU 2019-12 guidance as of January 1, 2021 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Adopted

 

FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, (“ASC 842”) (ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, February-2016 - “ASU 2016-02”) which established a right-of-use (“ROU”) model requiring a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater-than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The ASC 842 effective date for the Company is December 31, 2022 for its annual financial statements, and for interim quarterly financial statements commencing March 31, 2023.

Note 3 — Patent License Agreement – Case Western Reserve University

 

Overview

 

The Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics Inc., entered into a patent license agreement with Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”), captioned the Amended and Restated License Agreement and dated August 23, 2021 (“Amended CWRU License Agreement”). The Amended CWRU License Agreement is a successor to and replaced in its entirety the previous CWRU License Agreement, dated May 12, 2018, between Lucid Diagnostics Inc. and CWRU. The Amended CWRU License Agreement terminates upon the expiration of certain related patents, or on May 12, 2038 in countries where no such patents exist, or upon expiration of any exclusive marketing rights granted by the FDA or other U.S. government agency, whichever comes later.

 

The Amended CWRU License Agreement (as did the predecessor CWRU License Agreement) provides for the exclusive worldwide license of the intellectual property rights for the proprietary technologies of two distinct technology components - the “EsoCheck Cell Collection Device” referred to as “EsoCheck®” and a panel of proprietary methylated DNA biomarkers, a laboratory developed test (“LDT”), referred to as “EsoGuard®” and together are collectively referred to as the “EsoGuard Technology”.

 

The CWRU License Agreement Fee was $273, of which $50 was previously paid in 2018. On the August 23, 2021 effective date of the Amended CWRU License Agreement, the remaining balance of $223 became payable, and such amount was paid in September 2021. Additionally, also in September 2021, the Company paid a $10 amendment fee in connection with the Amended CWRU License Agreement. Additionally, the Amended CWRU License Agreement provides for each of patent fees reimbursement payments; milestone payments; and royalty payments - each as discussed below.

 

Patent Fees Reimbursement

 

Lucid Diagnostics Inc. is responsible for reimbursement of certain CWRU billed patent fees. See Note 4, Related Party Transactions, for patent fee reimbursement payments paid to CWRU in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Milestones

 

The (predecessor) CWRU License Agreement contained milestones, including regulatory milestones with respect to the FDA 501(k) submission of EsoCheck and the FDA clearance of EsoCheck, respectively regulatory submissions and clearances; which were achieved in accordance with the requisite contractual due dates, for which a $75 research and development expense was recognized and paid with respect to the achievement of the regulatory milestone related to FDA clearance of EsoCheck. The CWRU License Agreement was amended effective February 12, 2021, to: change the achievement date of commercialization milestone from November 2020 to August 2021; to eliminate the payment with respect to the commercialization milestone; and to add a non-refundable $100 payment to CWRU in consideration for such changes to the commercialization milestone (“CWRU License Agreement Amendment Fee”), with such fee recognized as general and administrative expense as of December 31, 2020 and paid in February 2021. The regulatory milestone related to FDA PMA submission of a licensed product (“PMA Milestone”) is included in the Amended CWRU License Agreement, and is the sole remaining unachieved milestone, for which a $200 milestone payment would be payable to CWRU upon its achievement.

The base minimum annual royalty fee is $50 commencing January 1 following the first anniversary of the “First Commercial Sale” of a “Licensed Product” (as such terms are defined in the Amended CWRU License Agreement). The minimum annual royalty fee increases to each of: $150 if the annual “Net Sales” (as defined in the Amended CWRU License Agreement) exceed $25.0 million up to $50.0 million; $300 if annual Net Sales exceed $50.0 million up to $100.0 million; and $600 if annual Net Sales exceed $100.0 million. The Company recognized a 5.0% royalty fee payment liability as of September 30, 2021 with respect to the revenue recognized under the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement, dated August 1, 2021, between Lucid Diagnostics Inc. and Research Dx Inc. Prior to September 30, 2021, no royalty fee has been incurred under the CWRU license agreements.

 

Additionally, the Company is required to pay a royalty fee on (sub-license) “Other Proceeds” (as defined in the Amended CWRU License Agreement) of: 30% of sub-license proceeds to extent the sub-license proceeds are realized prior to the first commercial Sale of a Licensed Product; or 15% of sub-license proceeds to extent the sub-license proceeds are realized after the first commercial Sale of a Licensed Product.

Note 5 — Acquisitions

 

Oncodisc Inc.

 

On May 28, 2021, Veris Health Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of PAVmed Inc., acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Oncodisc Inc. (“Oncodisc”) for total (gross) purchase consideration of approximately $261, consisting of: the issue of 1,564,514 shares of common stock of Veris Health Inc., with such shares having an estimated fair value of approximately $6; and cash paid of approximately $255, inclusive of approximately $155 paid at the time of the transaction closing and the remaining balance paid in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, the cash acquired was approximately $108 and liabilities assumed were approximately $50. The acquisition of Oncodisc was accounted for by Veris Health Inc as an asset acquisition. Veris Health Inc. has allocated the preliminary purchase price based upon the respective fair values as of the date of acquisition as follows:

 

      
Cash acquired  $108 
Intangible asset - in-process research and development   133 
Intangible asset - assembled workforce   70 
Liabilities assumed   (50)
Total net assets acquired  $261 

 

The intangible asset recognized for the in-process research and development (“IPRD”) of $133 was determined to have no alternative future use and was recognized as a current period research and development expense. The intangible asset recognized for the assembled workforce of approximately $70, which is included in “Other assets” on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, has an expected useful life of one year, and is being recognized as a research and development expense on a ratable basis over such period, commencing in June 2021.

Note 6 — Commitment and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On November 2, 2020, a stockholder of the Company, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated stockholders, filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery alleging broker non-votes were not properly counted in accordance with the Company’s bylaws at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on July 24, 2020, and, as a result, asserted certain matters deemed to have been approved were not so approved (including matters relating to the increase in the size of the 2014 Equity Plan and the ESPP). The relief sought under the complaint includes certain corrective actions by the Company, but does not seek any specific monetary damages. The Company does not believe it is clear the prior approval of these matters is invalid or otherwise ineffective. However, to avoid any uncertainty and the expense of further litigation, on January 5, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors determined it would be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to re-submit these proposals to the Company’s stockholders for ratification and/or approval. In this regard, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders on March 4, 2021, at which such matters were ratified and approved. The parties have reached agreement on a proposed Settlement Term Sheet Agreement, dated January 28, 2021, to settle the complaint, the terms of which do not contemplate payment of monetary damages to the putative class in the proceeding. The settlement of the complaint is pending and is subject to court approval.

 

On December 23, 2020, Benchmark Investments, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York alleging the registered direct offerings of shares of common stock of the Company completed in December 2020 were in violation of provisions set forth in an engagement letter between the Company and the plaintiff. The plaintiff is seeking monetary damages of up to $1.3 million. The Company disagrees with the allegations set forth in the complaint and intends to vigorously contest the complaint.

 

In the ordinary course of our business, particularly as it begins commercialization of its products, the Company may be subject to certain other legal actions and claims, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, which may arise from time to time. Except as otherwise noted herein, the Company does not believe it is currently a party to any other pending legal proceedings. Notwithstanding, legal proceedings are subject-to inherent uncertainties, and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and excessive verdicts can result from litigation, and as such, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows. Additionally, although the Company has specific insurance for certain potential risks, the Company may in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows.

Note 7 — Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value hierarchy table for the reporting dates noted is as follows:

 

  

Fair Value Measurement on a Recurring Basis at

Reporting Date Using(1)

 
   Level-1   Level-2   Level-3     
   Inputs   Inputs   Inputs   Total 
                 
December 31, 2020                    
Senior Secured Convertible Note - November 2019  $   $   $1,270   $1,270 
Senior Convertible Note - April 2020  $   $   $4,600   $4,600 
Senior Secured Convertible Note – August 2020  $   $   $8,790   $8,790 
Totals  $   $   $14,660   $14,660 

 

(1) As noted above, as presented in the fair value hierarchy table, Level-1 represents quoted prices in active markets for identical items, Level-2 represents significant other observable inputs, and Level-3 represents significant unobservable inputs.

 

The Senior Secured Convertible Note dated August 6, 2020, the Senior Convertible Note dated April 30, 2020, the Senior Secured Convertible Note (Series-A and Series-B), dated November 19, 2019, and the Senior Secured Convertible Note dated December 27, 2018, were each accounted for under the fair value option (“FVO”) election, wherein, each of the convertible notes were initially measured at their respective issue-date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date, with the resulting fair value adjustment recognized as other income (expense) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

There were no fair value measurements as of September 30, 2021 as each of the convertible notes were previously repaid-in-full in the three months ended March 31, 2021, as discussed herein below in Note 8, Debt. The estimated fair value of each of the convertible notes as of December 31, 2020, were computed using a Monte Carlo simulation of the present value of its cash flows using a synthetic credit rating analysis and a required rate-of-return, and were therefore classified within the Level 3 category, as the fair value was determined using both observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long- dated volatilities) inputs.

 

The estimated fair values reported utilized the Company’s common stock price along with certain Level 3 inputs, as discussed above, in the development of Monte Carlo simulation models, discounted cash flow analyses, and /or Black-Scholes valuation models. The estimated fair values are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models /analyses, including the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair values.

The PWERM principally involved (i) the identification of scenarios and related probabilities; (ii) determine the equity value under each scenario; and (iii) determine the common stock shareholders’ return in each scenario. The two scenarios identified were an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. common stock (“IPO scenario”); and, to continue on as a private company (“stay private scenario”). With respect to the IPO scenario, the valuation of the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. common stock was computed using assumptions, including dates of the IPO, to calculate an estimated pre-money valuation; and, with respect to the stay private scenario, an income approach was used, wherein a risk-adjusted discount rate is applied to projected future cash flows. For the awards during 2021, a relative weighting ranged from 75%-97.5% for to the IPO scenario and the relative weighting ranged from 25% - 2.5% for the stay private scenario.

GI Health

 

EsoGuard, EsoCheck, and EsoCure

 

EsoGuard and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”) through our majority-owned subsidiary, Lucid. EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly screening test for the early detection of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (“EAC”) and Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”), including dysplastic BE and related pre-cursors to EAC in patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux (“GERD”).

 

EsoGuard is a bisulfite-converted next-generation sequencing (NGS) DNA assay performed on surface esophageal cells collected with EsoCheck. It quantifies methylation at 31 sites on two genes, Vimentin (VIM) and Cyclin A1 (CCNA1). The assay was evaluated in a 408-patient multicenter case-control study published in Science Translational Medicine, and showed greater than 90% sensitivity and specificity at detecting esophageal precancer and all conditions along the BE-EAC spectrum, including on samples collected with EsoCheck (Moinova, et al. Sci Transl Med. 2018 Jan 17;10(424): eaao5848). EsoGuard is commercially available in the U.S. as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) performed at our CLIA-certified laboratory partner, ResearchDx Inc. (“RDx”), which does business as “PacificDx”. Cell samples, including those collected with EsoCheck, as discussed below, are sent to RDx, for testing and analyses using our proprietary EsoGuard NGS DNA assay.

 

EsoCheck is an FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared noninvasive swallowable balloon capsule catheter device capable of sampling surface esophageal cells in a less than five-minute office. It consists of a vitamin pill-sized rigid plastic capsule tethered to a thin silicone catheter from which a soft silicone balloon with textured ridges emerges to gently swab surface esophageal cells. When vacuum suction is applied, the balloon and sampled cells are pulled into the capsule, protecting them from contamination and dilution by cells outside of the targeted region during device withdrawal. We believe this proprietary Collect+Protect technology makes EsoCheck the only noninvasive esophageal cell collection device capable of such anatomically targeted and protected sampling.

 

EsoCure is in development as an Esophageal Ablation Device, with the intent to allow a clinician to treat dysplastic BE before it can progress to EAC, a highly lethal esophageal cancer, and to do so without the need for complex and expensive capital equipment. We have successfully completed a pre-clinical feasibility animal study of EsoCure demonstrating excellent, controlled circumferential ablation of the esophageal mucosal lining. We have also completed an acute and survival animal study of EsoCure Esophageal Ablation Device, demonstrating successful direct thermal balloon catheter ablation of esophageal lining through working channel of standard endoscope. We plan to conduct additional development work and animal testing of EsoCure to support a future FDA 510(k) submission.

 

In December 2019, we secured “gapfill” determination for the EsoGuard PLA code 0114U through the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (“CLFS”) process, which has allowed us to engage directly with Medicare contractor Palmetto GBA, LLC and its MolDx Program on CMS payment and coverage. In October 2020, CMS granted EsoGuard final Medicare payment determination of $1,938.01, effective January 1, 2021. We are still awaiting Medicare local coverage determination from MolDx, which we understand is working to clear a significant backlog of reviews.

EsoGuard, EsoCheck, and EsoCure

 

We are also aggressively pursuing EsoGuard U.S. private payor payment and coverage. We recently held our initial advisory board meetings with medical directors of major insurers to obtain feedback and guidance on the type of clinical data that will be helpful in securing payment and coverage. Although the claim cycle can be prolonged during the early commercialization of a new test, PacificDx is starting to receive out-of-network private insurance payments on our behalf.

 

Our initial EsoGuard commercialization efforts focused on gastroenterology (GI) physicians who have generally embraced our message that EsoGuard has the potential to expand the funnel of BE-EAC patients who will need long-term EGD surveillance and, potentially, treatment with endoscopic esophageal ablation. We have previously relied upon a hybrid sales model with full-time sales management and approximately fifty independent sales representatives. We significantly expanded our full-time commercial team in 2021 and are actively recruiting full-time territory managers and sales representatives nationwide. EsoGuard testing has accelerated as pandemic-related healthcare facility limitations have eased.

 

We are now expanding EsoGuard commercialization to target primary care physicians (PCPs). The vast majority of at-risk GERD patients are cared for by PCPs and never see a gastroenterologist. To assure sufficient testing capacity and geographic coverage during this expansion, we are building our own network of Lucid Test Centers, where Company employed clinical personnel will perform the EsoCheck procedure for EsoGuard testing. We have launched three pilot Lucid Test Centers in the Phoenix metropolitan area and have recently announced new test centers in Utah, Colorado, and Nevada. We are currently preparing for the launch an EsoGuard Telemedicine Program, in partnership with an independent third-party telemedicine provider, UpScriptHealth, that can accommodate EsoGuard self-referrals from direct-to-consumer marketing.

 

Our active clinical research and development program seeks to expand the clinical evidence of our products’ efficacy to support our ongoing regulatory, reimbursement and commercial efforts, including a FDA PMA submission for approval of EsoGuard and EsoCheck as an in vitro device (“IVD”), as currently, EsoGuard and EsoCheck are permitted to be marketed separately, but not in combination. We are actively enrolling patients in two international multicenter clinical trials to support FDA PMA approval of EsoGuard, used with EsoCheck, as an IVD indicated to detect NDBE. ESOGUARD-BE-1 is a screening study which will enroll approximately 500 to 900 male GERD patients over 50 years of age with one other risk factor. ESOGUARD-BE-2 is a case control study which will enroll approximately 500 male GERD patients with a previous diagnosis of NDBE, LGD, HGD, or EAC, along with normal controls.

 

In February 2020, we received FDA “Breakthrough Device Designation” for EsoGuard as an IVD. The FDA Breakthrough Device Program was created to offer patients more timely access to breakthrough technologies which provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating human disease or conditions by expediting their development, assessment and review through enhanced communications and more efficient and flexible clinical study design, including more favorable pre/post market data collection balance. Breakthrough Devices receive priority FDA review, and a bipartisan bill before Congress (H.R. 5333) seeks to require Medicare to temporarily cover all Breakthrough Devices for three years while determining permanent coverage.

 

We have received ISO 13485:2016 certification for Lucid’s quality management system and received CE Mark certification for EsoCheck in May 2021 which allows it to be marketed in CE Mark European countries, which include the European Economic Area (the EU, Norway, Iceland, and Lichtenstein), Switzerland, and, until July 1, 2023, the United Kingdom. In June 2021, we completed the European Directive 98/79/EC for In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (“IVDD”) CE Mark certification for EsoGuard after Lucid and its European Union (“EU”) authorized representative completed the Commission of the European Union (“EC”) declaration of conformity procedure, including the associated technical documentation, ensuring and declaring EsoGuard meets the essential requirements of the IVDD.

Minimally Invasive Interventions

 

CarpX

 

CarpX is a minimally invasive surgical device for use in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome which received FDA 510(k) marketing clearance in April 2020, with the first commercial procedure successfully performed in December 2020. After an initial slowdown in commercialization related to COVID, more recently we have recruited new sales leadership and have recently trained seven new surgeons to perform the CarpX procedure with five more scheduled to undergo training.

 

We believe CarpX is designed to allow the physician to relieve the compression on the median nerve without an open incision or the need for endoscopic or other imaging equipment. To use CarpX, the operator first advances a guidewire through the carpal tunnel under the ligament, and then advanced over the wire and positioned in the carpal tunnel under ultrasonic and/or fluoroscopic guidance. When the CarpX balloon is inflated it creates tension in the ligament positioning the cutting electrodes underneath it and creates space within the tunnel, providing anatomic separation between the target ligament and critical structures such as the median nerve. Radiofrequency energy is briefly delivered to the electrodes, rapidly cutting the ligament, and relieving the pressure on the nerve. We believe CarpX will be significantly less invasive than existing treatments.

 

We are commercializing CarpX through a network of independent U.S. sales representatives and/or inventory-stocking medical distributors together with our in-house sales management and marketing teams. Our focus on CarpX, and other high margin products and services, is particularly suitable to this mode of distribution. A high gross margin allows us to properly incentivize our distributors, which in turn allows us to attract the top distributors with the most robust networks in our targeted specialties. Independent distributors play an even larger role in many parts of Europe, most of Asia and emerging markets worldwide.

 

We may eventually choose to build (or obtain through a strategic acquisition) our own sales and marketing team to commercialize CarpX, along with some or all of our products, if it is in our long-term interests. We may also choose to enter into distribution agreements with larger strategic partners whereby we take full responsibility for the manufacturing of CarpX but outsource some or all of its distribution to a partner, particularly outside the United States, with its own robust distribution channels.

 

We have received ISO 13485:2016 certification for PAVmed’s quality management system and received CE Mark certification for CarpX in May 2021 which allows it to be marketed in CE Mark European countries, which include the European Economic Area (the EU, Norway, Iceland, and Lichtenstein), Switzerland, and, until July 1, 2023, the United Kingdom.

Infusion Therapy

 

PortIO

 

PortIO is a novel, patented, implantable, intraosseous vascular access device which does not require accessing the central venous system and does not have an indwelling intravascular component. It is designed to be highly resistant to occlusion and may not require regular flushing. It features simplified, near-percutaneous insertion and removal, without the need for surgical dissection or radiographic confirmation. It provides a near limitless number of potential access sites and can be used in patients with chronic total occlusion of their central veins. The absence of an intravascular component will likely result in a very low infection rate.

 

Based on encouraging animal data, we are preparing to initiate a long-term (60-day implant duration) first-in-human clinical study in dialysis patients or those with poor venous access in Colombia, South America and intend to fulfill the likely FDA request for human clinical data with a clinical safety study in the U.S. following FDA clearance of our Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) submission to begin clinical testing in dialysis patients to support a future de novo regulatory submission.

 

NextFlo

 

NextFlo is a patented, disposable, and highly accurate infusion platform technology including intravenous (“IV”) infusion sets and disposable infusion pumps designed 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 U.S. NextFlo is designed to deliver highly accurate gravity-driven infusions independent of the height of the IV bag. It maintains constant flow by incorporating a proprietary, passive, pressure-dependent variable flow-resistor consisting entirely of 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.

 

We may seek a long-term strategic partnership or acquiror with respect to NextFlo, as we continue to have periodic discussions continue with large strategic partners to license the NextFlo technology for disposable infusion pumps. Notwithstanding, we continue to advance the technology towards self-commercialization. We have initiated design freeze verification testing in preparation for final verification and validation testing of NextFlo IV Infusion Set, to support FDA 510(k) submission and clearance targeted for the first half of 2022.

Digital Health

 

Veris Health Inc.

 

In May 2021, we formed Veris Health, which is our newest majority majority-owned subsidiary, focused on digital health technology. In connection with its formation, Veris Health acquired Oncodisc, a digital health company with groundbreaking tools to improve personalized cancer care through remote patient monitoring.

 

Oncodisc was founded by experienced physician entrepreneurs, James Mitchell, M.D., who joins Veris Health as its full-time Chief Medical Officer, and Andrew Thoreson, M.D., who will serve as a Veris Health consultant. Oncodisc’s core technologies include the first intelligent implantable vascular access port with biologic sensors and wireless communication, combined with an oncologist-designed remote digital healthcare platform that provides patients and physicians with new tools to improve outcomes and optimize the delivery of cost-effective care through remote monitoring and data analytics.

 

Oncodisc was founded in 2018 by Mitchell, a radiation-oncologist, and Thoreson, an interventional radiologist, who previously co-founded Redsmith, Inc., an interventional catheter company whose technology was acquired by C.R. Bard Inc., now BD Inc. (NYSE: BDX), in 2017. Oncodisc received a National Science Foundation (“NSF”) Small Business Innovation Research (“SBIR”) grant award to support its early work and completed both the MedTech Innovator Accelerator and UCSF Rosenman Institute Accelerator programs.

 

Its groundbreaking vascular access port contains biologic sensors capable of generating continuous data on key physiologic parameters known to predict adverse outcomes in cancer patients undergoing treatment. Wireless communication to the patient’s smartphone and its cloud-based digital healthcare platform efficiently and effectively delivers actionable real time data to patients and physicians. The technologies are the subject of multiple patent applications and one allowed patent awaiting final issuance. Veris Health is targeting FDA 510(k) clearance of the intelligent implantable vascular access port and launch of the remote digital healthcare platform for the last six months of 2022.

 

The planned Veris Health business model seeks to generate 100% recurring revenue through oncology practice and hospital-based subscriptions. These entities would purchase seats on the platform and pay a monthly remote monitoring charge to drive revenues from remote patient monitoring and device implantation under existing CPT codes, as well as established CMS Oncology Care Model (OCM) bonuses and CMS Quality Reporting Program incentives. Veris Health also anticipates strong demand for its intelligent implantable vascular access port and remote monitoring platform from oncology biotherapeutic companies to support clinical trials of their novel immunotherapy and chemotherapy agents with continuous physiologic data and transformative analytics.

 

Emerging Innovations

 

Emerging Innovations include a diversified and expanding portfolio of innovative products designed to address unmet clinical needs across a broad range of clinical conditions. We are evaluating a number of these product opportunities and intellectual property covering a wide spectrum of clinical conditions, which have either been developed internally or have been presented to us by clinician innovators and academic medical institutions for consideration of a partnership to develop and commercialize these products. This collection of products includes, without limitation, initiatives in non-invasive laser-based glucose monitoring, mechanical circulatory support cannulas, single-use ventilators and resorbable pediatric ear tubes. In June 2020, we announced the execution of a letter of intent to consummate a series of agreements to develop and utilize Canon Virginia’s commercial grade and scalable aqueous silk fibroin molding process to manufacture PAVmed’s DisappEAR molded pediatric ear tubes for commercialization. Furthermore, we are exploring other opportunities to grow our business and enhance shareholder value through the acquisition of pre-commercial or commercial stage products and/or companies with potential strategic corporate and commercial synergies.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

Previously, in December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of a coronavirus occurred. The coronavirus spread on a global basis to other countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the United Nations World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared a pandemic resulting from the spread of the coronavirus, with such pandemic commonly referred to by its resulting illness, “COVID-19”. The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and we continue to monitor the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the United States national economy, the global economy, and our business.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on our operations, supply chains, and distribution systems and /or those of our contractors of our laboratory partner, and increase our expenses, including as a result of impacts associated with preventive and precautionary measures being taken, restrictions on travel, quarantine polices, and social distancing. Such adverse impact may include, for example, the inability of our employees and /or those of our contractors or laboratory partner to perform their work or curtail their services provided to us.

 

We expect the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of its effect on our consolidated financial condition and consolidated operational results and cash flows, to be dictated by the success of United States and global efforts to mitigate the spread of and /or to contain the coronavirus and the impact of such efforts.

 

In addition, the spread of the coronavirus has disrupted the United States’ healthcare and healthcare regulatory systems which could divert healthcare resources away from, or materially delay FDA approval with respect to our products.

 

Furthermore, our clinical trials have been and may be further affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as site initiation and patient enrollment may be delayed, for example, due to prioritization of hospital resources toward the virus and /or illness response, as well as travel restrictions imposed by governments, and the inability to access clinical test sites for initiation and monitoring.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the United States, resulting in an economic downturn that could adversely affect demand for our products and services and /or our product candidates.

 

Although we are continuing to monitor and assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (or a similar health epidemic) is highly uncertain and subject to change. Any such effect could have a materially adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations, and /or consolidated cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our operations principally through the public and private issuances of our common stock, preferred stock, common stock purchase warrants, and debt.

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021 we issued shares of our common stock and received proceeds from the exercise of our Series Z Warrants, as discussed herein below, which resulted in approximately $59.7 million of gross proceeds, before placement agent fees and expenses and additional offering costs incurred by us. Additionally, we repaid-in-full the outstanding principal balances of all our convertible notes.

 

On January 5, 2021, we issued 6,000,000 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $13,440, before a placement agent fee and expenses of approximately $951, and offering costs incurred by us of approximately $71; and, on February 23, 2021, we issued 9,782,609 shares of our common stock for proceeds of approximately $41,576, before offering costs incurred by us of approximately $290.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a total of 2,927,125 of our Series Z Warrants were exercised at their exercise price of $1.60 per share of our common stock, resulting in the issue of the same number of our shares of common stock, with cash proceeds of approximately $4,115 received as of September 30, 2021, and $568 received subsequent to September 30, 2021 on October 4, 2021. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, as of November 18, 2021, a total of 1,946,259 of our Series Z Warrants were exercised for cash at the $1.60 per share exercise price, resulting in the issue of the same number of shares of our common stock.

 

Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repaid-in-full all of the outstanding principal balances of our convertible notes, as discussed herein above under “Other Income and Expense - Loss from Extinguishment of Debt”.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, on October 14, 2021, Lucid Diagnostics, a majority-owned subsidiary of PAVmed, completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock under an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-259721), wherein a total of 5.0 million IPO shares of common stock of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. were issued, with such total IPO shares inclusive of 571,428 shares issued to PAVmed Inc., at an IPO offering price of $14.00 per share, resulting gross proceeds of $70.0 million, before underwriting fees of $4.9 million, and approximately $0.7 million of offering costs incurred by Lucid Diagnostics.

 

See our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements Note 8, Debt, for a discussion of our convertible notes; and Note 11, Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants, for a further discussion of and the issue of our common stock.

 

We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic and medical device companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing research and development and clinical trials. We expect to continue to experience recurring losses from operations and will continue to fund our operations with debt and/or equity financing transactions. Notwithstanding, however, with the cash on-hand as of the date hereof, we expect to be able to fund our future operations for one year from the date of the issue of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as included herein in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
