Mauna Kea Technologies Announces Two New Peer-Reviewed Clinical Studies Confirming The Clinical Value Of Cellvizio and Its Combination With AI For The Diagnosis Of Pancreatic Cysts Mauna Kea Technologies announced that two new peer-reviewed studies published across gastroenterology journals reinforce evidence supporting needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) for the diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). An international study, published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, assessed how consistently physicians of differing experience interpret pancreatic cyst diagnostics. Adding Cellvizio imaging to standard evaluation increased mucinous-vs. non-mucinous accuracy to 96%, raised subtype-specific accuracy to approximately 85%, and significantly improved agreement among 15 independent observers. A clinical study, published in Techniques and Innovations in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, evaluated an nCLE-guided artificial intelligence algorithm for detecting high-grade dysplasia or early cancer within intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). In higher-risk, non-gastric IPMN subtypes, the AI algorithm achieved 87% accuracy versus 53% for conventional methods with comparable sensitivity across subtypes. In the ongoing multicenter CLIMB study evaluating EUS-nCLE, adding real-time EUS-nCLE to the standard evaluation raised diagnostic accuracy from 73% to 85%, reduced unnecessary surgery for benign cysts by more than 40%, and cut missed cancers roughly six-fold. nCLE, which is now included in the ESGE guidelines, is becoming a key piece in solving the pancreatic cyst puzzle.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 161% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). High level of non-cash earnings (503% accrual ratio). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (161% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Negative equity (-€4.8m). Market cap is less than US$100m (€33.6m market cap, or US$39.1m). Board Change • May 20

Mauna Kea Technologies Announces Major AI Breakthrough with Cellvizio in Pancreatic Cystic Lesion Risk Stratification Mauna Kea Technologies announced a significant advancement with the results of a landmark study published in the peer-reviewed journal Pancreatology. The research, titled “Towards Automating Risk Stratification of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms: Artificial Intelligence Advances Beyond Human Expertise with Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy”, demonstrates that Artificial Intelligence (AI) model combined with Cellvizio needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) technology significantly outperforms human experts in risk stratification of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms (IPMNs), a common type of pancreatic cyst. The study aimed to compare the performance of 16 nCLE human experts with a novel AI algorithm (nCLE-AI) specifically designed for the sub-classification of a type of pancreatic cystic lesion with malignant potential. These findings build on the CLIMB study data presented this year at DDW, which demonstrated strong diagnostic performance of needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy in differentiating benign from malignant or pre-malignant pancreatic cysts. Indeed, the latest results from the CLIMB study -spanning 17 endosonographers across 14 centers - have further reinforced the significantly superior diagnostic accuracy of Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided nCLE (EUS-nCLE) compared to the current standard of care. The results of the study on risk stratification associated with IPMNs cysts with malignant potential, detailed in the table below, show that the nCLE-AI model combined with revised Fukuoka Criteria achieves an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.85, with a sensitivity of 78% and a specificity of 78%. This performance is significantly superior to that of human experts using the same criteria (AUC 0.64; p<0.01) and represents an improvement over the nCLE-AI model alone (p=0.02), clearly demonstrating the superiority of the AI-augmented approach for enhancing the detection of malignant cysts that need immediate intervention. The AI model continues to improve rapidly with additional nCLE sequences and data. The prevalence of pancreatic cystic lesions in the adult asymptomatic population ranges from 2.4% to 24.3%. The large majority of pancreatic cystic lesions are discovered through incidental imaging, and it is estimated that 40% of cysts with no risk of carcinogenesis are operated on unnecessarily. More accurate classification methods, including risk stratification, are therefore needed earlier in the patient’s diagnostic workup. Conventional diagnostic testing involves performing an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and then collecting and testing the cyst fluid through fine needle aspiration (FNA). In some advanced facilities, next generation sequencing (NGS) of cellular DNA may be performed to provide additional data. Although most facilities employ a combination of a range of conventional diagnostic methods, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy remain insufficient, potentially exposing patients to misclassified cysts and unneeded surgical procedures. 공고 • Mar 04
Mauna Kea Technologies's Cellvizio Now Recommends in New European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Technical Guideline for Pancreatic Cyst Diagnosis Mauna Kea Technologies announced that the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) has issued a recommendation for the use of needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) with Cellvizio®? for the characterization of pancreatic cyst lesions (PCLs)1. This recognition highlights the potential of nCLE to enhance the accuracy of pancreatic cyst diagnoses in centers with adequate expertise, supporting its integration into standard clinical practice. ESGE suggests the use of nCLE to differentiate between mucinous and non-mucinous pancreatic cysts, acknowledging the technology's ability to provide real-time, high-resolution imaging of tissue and vascular structures. The recommendation is based on a large body of clinical evidence demonstrating nCLE's diagnostic accuracy compared to conventional endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) alone. Several multi-center studies have reported high diagnostic accuracy with nCLE, including one study presented at Digestive Disease Week®? 2024 demonstrating very high sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of EUS-nCLE for classifying mucinous vs. non-mucinous PCLs of 98% and 97%, respectively, compared to 77% and 80% for CEA +cytology + glucose. Additionally, cost-benefit analyses demonstrate that integrating nCLE into PCL management reduces unnecessary surgeries by 23% and decreases overall clinical costs by 13%. This recognition from ESGE marks a turning point, underscoring the critical role that nCLE with Cellvizio can play in transforming pancreatic cyst diagnosis. For patients, this means fewer unnecessary surgeries on indeterminate cysts, faster and more accurate diagnoses, and ultimately better outcomes. For healthcare providers, integrating nCLE into routine practice represents a major leap forward in precision medicine. With pancreatic cysts affecting millions worldwide and current diagnostic tools leaving too much uncertainty, this recommendation paves the way for large-scale deployment and will be a key driver in securing reimbursement across several countries. 2025 is off to a strong start and is set to be a milestone year for this indication. Some highly anticipated results from the CLIMB study - the largest clinical study for this indication - conducted in 14 centers in the United States, set to be unveiled at Digestive Disease week®? 2025, will definitively establish technology as the gold standard worldwide for pancreatic cyst characterization. 공고 • Jan 28
Mauna Kea Technologies Announces Promising Results in New Application Combining Robotics and Cellvizio®? for Precision Surgery in Head and Neck Cancers Mauna Kea Technologies announced very promising results in a new surgical indication published in a recent case series in Oral Oncology Reports. Surgeons at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (Birmingham, Alabama) have demonstrated the clinical feasibility and potential advantages of using the Cellvizio confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) platform during transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in combination with the da Vinci SP robotic surgical system by Intuitive to enhance the precision of margin assessment for head and neck cancers. Head and neck cancers present unique surgical challenges, particularly in achieving clear margins while minimizing tissue loss to preserve critical functions such as swallowing and speech. Positive surgical margins – meaning cancer remains in the patient’s body after resection – occur in up to 15-20% of TORS procedures according to the study and are associated with a significantly increased risk of cancer recurrence. The Cellvizio CLE platform directly addresses these challenges by providing high-resolution, real-time imaging of cellular structures and architecture. Cellvizio allows surgeons to visually delineate tumor boundaries intraoperatively, facilitating precise resection while sparing healthy tissue. This study focused on the application of Cellvizio in assessing mucosal margins during TORS for cancers of the larynx, hypopharynx and oropharynx. 공고 • Jan 16

Mauna Kea Technologies Announces First Patient Enrolled in the Pivotal CLEVER Clinical Trial in Peripheral Lung Cancer Mauna Kea Technologies announced the first patient enrollment in the multi-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) entitled "Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy VERification" (CLEVER, NCT06079970)1 in collaboration with the Amsterdam University Medical Centers (UMC) for the diagnosis and management of peripheral lung lesions. In the framework of this trial, over 200 patients will be enrolled across 7 sites in Europe and the U.S. until end of second quarter 2025. Lung cancer is the world's leading cause of cancer deaths claiming over 1.8 million lives every year - more than colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers combined. The rise in lung cancer screening and the increased use of chest-computed tomography (CT) has generated a surge in the detection of suspected malignant lung lesions globally, increasing the need for more effective and efficient diagnostic methods. Over 80% of these incidental lesions develop in the peripheral bronchi and are not easily visualized or accessed during conventional bronchoscopy. Adding nCLE as an adjunctive technique offers a potential solution by providing real-time feedback on the correct positioning of biopsy twazers or needles (tool-in-lesion) and collecting the right cells samples (lesion-in-tool).

Mauna Kea Technologies and Endoscopy Institute of Hawaii Achieve 1,200 Procedure Milestone Mauna Kea Technologies announced that Jeong Kim, M.D., and the Endoscopy Institute of Hawaii (EIH) clinical team have completed more than 1,200 Cellvizio procedures for the diagnosis and interventional treatment of gastric disease, a condition which can lead to gastric cancer. EIH is part of the Covenant Physician Partners network of facilities and physicians which operates more than 85 leading healthcare centers across the United States. Dr. Kim, the lead gastroenterologist at EIH, is a specialist providing care for a broad range of digestive illnesses such as detection of stomach and colon cancer, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and liver disease. His focus on minimally invasive endoscopy led Dr. Kim to add the Cellvizio program to his facility in January 2020. Since then, he has used Cellvizio on more than 1,200 patients, primarily for the screening and detection of GIM, which is a known precursor to gastric cancer and is highly prevalent in certain populations such as patients of Asian descent and among patients with specific risk factors like diet, lifestyle, or family history of gastric disease. Mapping GIM is a burdensome clinical challenge, given the large size of the stomach and the need to adequately visualize the gastric mucosa to rule out suspicious lesions and determine GIM extent. Dr. Kim has developed his own adjunctive protocol used in tandem with the standard protocol to provide the best care to his patients. His total procedure time takes only 10 to 12 minutes for a full visual inspection with Cellvizio, including completing multiple gastric biopsies using the Sydney Protocol.

Final results of the ERIca trial (Erlangen Remission in IBD, clinicaltrials.gov NCT05157750) are now published in the peer-reviewed journal Gastroenterology, the journal of the American Gastroenterological Association, in the article “Intestinal barrier healing is superior to endoscopic and histologic remission for predicting major adverse outcomes in IBD: the prospective ERIca trial”. Endoscopy is the key technique for the surveillance of patients suffering from IBD, with patients undergoing surveillance colonoscopy every one to two years. Endoscopic and histologic remission, characterized by visual assessment of the colon and analysis of random biopsies, have emerged as key therapeutic goals in the management of IBD that are associated with favorable long-term disease outcomes. In this study, the authors prospectively compared the predictive value of intestinal barrier healing visualized dynamically and functionally in real time with Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (Cellvizio®) versus endoscopic and histologic remission for predicting long-term disease behavior in a large cohort of IBD patients in clinical remission. Key clinical results: Between 2017 and 2019, a total of 296 IBD patients were screened for eligibility. Out of these, 181 IBD patients (100 with Crohn’s Disease (CD) and 81 with Ulcerative Colitis (UC)) patients were finally eligible and included in the study, with a mean follow-up of 25 months for UC and 35 months for CD. Endoscopic and histologic disease activity as well as barrier healing were prospectively assessed along established scores. During subsequent follow-up, patients were closely monitored for clinical disease activity and the occurrence of major adverse outcomes (MAO): disease flares, IBD-related hospitalization or surgery, initiation or dose escalation of systemic steroids, immunosuppressants, small molecules or biological therapy. The authors found that Barrier Healing assessed with Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy was far superior to endoscopic and histologic remission for predicting MAO-free survival in both UC and CD: For patients suffering from UC and with Barrier Healing in the Colon confirmed with Cellvizio, the MAO-free survival probability was 81% compared to 47.7% - 64.7% for all other predictors. For patients suffering from CD and with Barrier Healing in the Colon confirmed with Cellvizio, the MAO-free survival probability was 70.4% compared to 43.9% - 50% for all other endoscopic and histologic predictors. When Barrier Healing was confirmed in the Ileum, this probability reached 100% compared to 43.9% - 50% for all other predictors. 공고 • Oct 05

Mauna Kea Technologies: Cellvizio® Combined with Artificial Intelligence Outperforms Standard of Care for Pancreatic Cyst Diagnosis and Risk Stratification Mauna Kea Technologies announced the publication of a peer-reviewed study on pancreatic cystic lesion (PCL) risk stratification using artificial intelligence (AI) models for nCLE image classification and the publication of a new peer-reviewed meta-analysis on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided nCLE for PCL evaluation. The majority of PCLs incidentally found in the population represent intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), a precursor of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Current standard of care relies on a combination of clinical history, imaging, EUS features, and cyst fluid cytology for identification of IPMNs with advanced neoplasia. Today, approximately half of the IPMNs that undergo surgical resection are ultimately found to have low- or intermediate-grade dysplasia. To avoid unnecessary resections of indolent lesions considering the high post-operative morbidity (30%) and mortality (2.1%) rates, more accurate methods to diagnose IPMNs are crucial to guide patient management including surgical decisions. The first study, entitled “High performance in risk stratification of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms by confocal laser endomicroscopy image analysis with convolutional neural networks,” published in the peer-reviewed journal Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (2020, DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2020.12.054), reported the successful development and application of AI algorithms for nCLE diagnosis and risk stratification of IPMNs. The authors demonstrated that deep learning models derived from nCLE images, were more accurate in diagnosing and risk stratifying advanced neoplasia in IPMNs compared with current standard diagnosis and society guidelines. A second publication entitled “Needle-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (nCLE) for Evaluation of Pancreatic Cystic Lesions: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis,” was published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology (2020, DOI: 10.1097/MCG.0000000000001468). Seven studies enrolling 324 patients were included and the authors evaluated pooled diagnostic, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and odds ratio. The authors concluded that “nCLE appears to be an effective and safe technique for the diagnostic evaluation of PCLs.” Indeed, nCLE was associated with a sensitivity of 85%, a specificity of 99%, a diagnostic accuracy of 99%, and a post-procedure pancreatitis rate of 1%.
