TORONTO and DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTC: PYNKF) (FSE: 4PC) ("Perimeter" or the "Company") – a commercial-stage medical technology company – today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and provided a corporate update.
Quarterly Highlights
- Shortlisted to advance to the next stage of a grant funding program sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) under Biden Cancer Moonshot Initiative
- Completed positive interactions with the FDA leading to alignment on key elements of ongoing clinical trial, including the introduction of enhanced AI software and a planned interim analysis
- Initiated additional clinical trial sites at Mayo Clinic in Florida and University of Washington/Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle, WA
- Strengthened Perimeter's leadership team with appointment of experienced medtech executive, Adam Hodges, as Vice President, Sales and Marketing
- Hosted an investor webinar and live Q&A session with Perimeter management to provide an overview of key areas of the business
Adrian Mendes, Perimeter's Chief Executive Officer stated, "I am pleased with the progress made across the business this past quarter, with a particular focus on advancing our next-gen AI tech currently in clinical development. Based on feedback from the FDA, we successfully introduced improved AI into the ongoing clinical trial evaluating the use of Perimeter B-Series OCT combined with AI during breast conservation surgery. We have now added three additional sites to further support patient enrollment, and we have also integrated a planned interim analysis into the clinical trial protocol. This read-out will provide us with the optionality to conclude the trial early to begin preparation of regulatory submissions supporting market clearance, or alternatively continue the trial to potentially build a stronger data package from additional subjects. Ultimately, we are driven to provide new technologies that assist surgeons with 'real-time' margin assessment in the operating room. Many physicians support our belief that combining AI with high-resolution imaging has the potential to become a new standard of care during breast conservation surgery."
Mr. Mendes continued, "I am also excited to report that Perimeter has been shortlisted to advance to the next stage of a grant funding program sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, or ARPA-H, under its Precision Surgical Interventions program, an important Biden Cancer Moonshot initiative. We were also thrilled to see that ARPA-H selected Dallas as one of three regional hubs in its $2.5 billion health innovation network."
