We are a medical technology company working to transform cancer surgery with ultra-high resolution, real-time advanced imaging tools to address areas of high unmet medical need. Our FDA-cleared Perimeter S-Series OCT system provides real-time cross-sectional visualization of excised tissues at the cellular level. Our breakthrough device designated Investigational Perimeter B-Series OCT system, which combines our proprietary Img Assist artificial intelligence technology with wide-field optical coherence tomography, represents our next-generation device. As we will discuss in more detail today, B- Series OCT with Img Assist AI is currently being evaluated in a pivotal clinical trial in preventing cancer surgeries. On the call representing the company are Adrian Mendes, Perimeter's Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Berkeley, Perimeter's Chief Innovation Officer, Sarah Byrne, the company's Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Sarah Butler, our Vice President, Clinical and Medical Affairs. With that said, I'll now turn the call over to Adrian. Thanks, Steve. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to our call. Before we get to the prepared remarks, I'd just like to take a moment and just talk a little bit about how excited I am about what we're going to talk about today. I was introduced to Perimeter about a year and a half, two years ago by our largest shareholder, and immediately, I was intrigued by the idea of using AI in the healthcare space. I've been in the AI industry for close to a decade now, and what got me really excited about Perimeter was what it had technologically. It has a unique imaging modality, OCT, and we have a large proprietary image library upon which is sort of a key ingredient to building AI algorithms and AI solutions, and so the job was, how do we take these and bring it to market? What today's news represents, actually, is it's really a major milestone in this journey to be able to bring this to patients and to surgeons. And so for me, this is great. I've been here a year and a half. Most of the company is as excited, all of the companies, as excited as me about this. Some of the companies have been here much, much longer than I have. Andrew Berkeley, who's on the call right now, our Chief Innovation Officer, is a co-founder who's been here since day one. And I can just say that for all of us within the company, very excited about this. This is a new phase in the company with this behind us. This is an inflection point. And so with that, let's move to the prepared remarks, and we'll get into the details. So let's see. I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to discuss the positive outcome of our pivotal trial designed to support our planned FDA, PMA submission for approval to market our next-generation Perimeter B- Series OCT system for intraoperative cancer margin assessment during breast-conserving surgeries. On behalf of the management team and really everyone at Perimeter, I would like to thank you for your ongoing interest in our company. For those of you who are shareholders, we appreciate your continued interest and support. I'll turn the call over to Q&A in a few moments. However, before I do, I'd like to provide a brief summary of the positive top-line results we announced today and share how truly excited we are about them. As Steve mentioned at the start of the call, we're committed to making a real difference in the lives of patients by creating and commercializing innovative intraoperative imaging technologies. In fact, not only technologies, but full solutions to address long-standing unmet needs in cancer care. Today, despite many incredible advancements in the operating room, intraoperative margin assessment remains one of the most pressing problems that breast cancer surgeons face. The promise of the B- Series OCT with Img Assist AI 2.0 is greater peace of mind, both for the surgeon who, no matter how skilled, currently faces nearly one in five odds of needing to perform repeat surgery due to positive margins, and for their patient who, under the current paradigm, typically has to wait and worry for two to seven days for their surgeon to receive a post-operative pathology report, which will determine whether they will have to go through the emotional and physical trauma of a second surgery due to cancer left behind. A couple of months ago, on October 1st, we announced the completion of patient enrollment in the pivotal study evaluating the use of Perimeter B-Series OCT with Img Assist AI 2.0 in breast-conserving surgeries. In this prospective multi-center randomized clinical trial, 206 breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery for the treatment of Stage 0 - 3 invasive ductal carcinoma and/or ductal carcinoma in situ were evaluated to measure the effectiveness of the combined B-Series OCT imaging system with Img Assist AI 2.0, as compared to lumpectomy current standard methods, such as palpation, specimen radiography, intraoperative pathology, and ultrasound in addressing positive margins. Patients were recruited from multiple clinical sites across the United States. The B-Series OCT with Img Assist AI 2.0 enabled surgeons to more effectively address residual cancer at the surgical margin during surgery as compared to current standard methods. The pivotal trial easily met its primary endpoint, achieving a statistically significant reduction in patients with residual cancer during surgery. These results demonstrate superiority of the Perimeter B- Series OCT with Img Assist AI system's ability to aid surgeons in achieving clear surgical margins during surgery, potentially lowering the need for reoperation. To help put the primary endpoint results into perspective, the target P-value in the trial was 0.025, and we achieved a P-value of 0.005. Moving forward, we expect the full results of the pivotal trial to support our FDA, PMA submission for the system in early 2025. Let me stop here for a moment. As some of you who have been following us for a while may be asking why we expect it to be a pre-market approval application instead of a de novo request. There are currently two products with a similar intended use for examining margins in breast cancer. Both are classified as Class III devices. The FDA has recently suggested to us that the pivotal trial for the B-Series OCT with Img Assist AI device will also fall under the Class III designation, which requires a PMA submission. So while not final, we believe that this will be the regulatory pathway we will be using. The benefits of a PMA submission are, one, that the PMA applications tend to have a higher chance of approval, and two, if approved, additional assurance of market exclusivity because the technology cannot be used by competitors as a 510(k) predicate device. And also, since this will be our first PMA application, there won't be any filing costs associated with submission. As Steve mentioned earlier, B-Series OCT with Img Assist AI was previously granted a breakthrough device designation by the FDA. The goal of the FDA's breakthrough device program is to provide patients and healthcare providers with timely access to medical devices that provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions by speeding up their development, assessment, and review. Among other benefits, this designation allows for accelerated interactions with the FDA during product development and prioritized review of future regulatory submissions. I can tell you that our interactions with the agency have been very positive and constructive to date, and we look forward to that continuing. If FDA approval is attained, that will allow for the full commercial launch of the B-Series OCT with Img Assist AI, representing the next major step in our go-to-market strategy and an opportunity to significantly broaden our user base across the U.S. And assuming the overall data set from the pivotal trial is as positive as the primary endpoint data, we believe this technology has the potential for rapid acceptance and adoption by breast cancer surgeons in the United States. And with that, operator, please let's open up the line for Q&A. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question and answer session. Should you have a question, please press star one on your touch-tone phone. You will hear a prompt that your hand has been raised. Should you wish to decline from the polling process, please press star two. If you are using a speakerphone, please lift the handset before pressing any keys. One moment, please, for your first question. Your first question comes from Michael Freeman of Raymond James. Your line is already open. Hey, good evening, Adrian, Sarah, Stephen. Congratulations. This has been a long time coming, and it looks like a spectacular result, so it's a big congratulations to you and the team. Really important move for patients, I think. Okay, so my first question, I wonder if your super impressive statistical result. I wonder if you're able to put in simple terms the, I guess, the number of patients in the test arm or in, yeah, I guess, simply the test arm, I guess, that had cancer remaining. I wonder if you could describe these results in as simple terms as possible. Yeah. So in the test arm, we had 206 patients. The primary endpoint was really looking at things at a positive margin level. So there's much more data that we have to come through that we need to analyze. What we wanted to do was get just the top-line results out as quickly as possible. Taking a step back, the goal of this trial is really to get the AI into the marketplace, right? And so the top-line result is the most important thing, which we were able to achieve with, well, we talked about the P-value that we got to. Over the coming months, we'll have a lot more data coming through that we'll be able to provide. That will end up being published throughout various conferences in studies where we'll be able to dig into it a bit more and give you much more detail around more specific results around that. But really, the focus here is, were we able to achieve the primary endpoint? And with that, what does that do to our ability to bring it to market, both being, of course, very positive based off of the numbers that we've announced today. Maybe I'll ask this in a slightly different way. The white paper you published on the S- Series and ability to reduce reoperation, and I recognize that this is a different endpoint or piece of data than the primary endpoint here, was around a little less than 6% versus 23% for general population standard of care. Was the result of the B- Series with Img Assist superior to what you're seeing with the S- Series in the real world? Right. So the primary endpoint, which is really the only data we have right now, did not measure re-excisions. It measured positive margin results. So that information is data that we need to analyze and get out. So I can't give you a direct comparison of that because we just don't have the re-excision data available yet. That wasn't the way the trial was designed. The primary endpoint that we agreed to with the FDA was looking at a positive margin result versus a re-excision result, which is additional information, but was not the primary endpoint. All right. Okay. I'll leave that there. My last question is, when we're thinking about approval, thanks for explaining the PMA path versus a de novo or 510(k), are there any major differences between the core imaging platforms of the S- Series and the B- Series? So I guess the question is, will the FDA need to be evaluating both the performance of the AI alongside the physical imaging device, or will this be focused on the AI aspect of this platform? Yeah. So it's together. They're looking at it holistically. So this approval would be both for the sort of the hardware imaging device as well as the AI algorithm together. That's what the B- Series is. It includes both the AI, the imaging tech, as well as the software. Gotcha. Okay. All right. Thank you, Adrian. I'll pass it on and congratulations again. Thanks, Michael. Your next question comes from Scott McAuley of Paradigm Capital. Your line is already open. Thanks. And again, just to reiterate, congrats on the great trial results. Always exciting when we get these kinds of numbers out in the world after a long trial. Michael already asked some of the questions that I had. I guess one follow-up is around the label. So once you applied for the PMA, so great to get that nailed down a little bit. Is there specific language that you're targeting for that label that you would like to see? Yeah. The answer is yes. Perhaps I'll hand this over to Dr. Butler to answer. Sarah? Sure. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. Right? We're also looking at breast cancer in surgery, margin reductions. I think there's a lot of things that we will be looking at for here. I think we kind of mentioned before, there's a wealth of information. We're excited about this primary endpoint and really getting this out, but there's a lot of secondary information and additional information that will come that will really come together and kind of tell a story, and that's what we're looking at. In the PMA, there's going to be a lot of things to add, but some of these claims are going to be very important in moving this in breast cancer space, which is very much the population and intended use, so there will be a lot of claims around that that should be easily met as well. Got it. So is the target language around assess margin assessments, or are you potentially targeting the actual being able to claim reduction in reoperation rates, or is there a difference? Does it matter? Yeah, there is a difference. So reoperation rates is a little more subjective because it takes a lot of other things into consideration. So the physician and the surgeon, as well as the patient, right, is involved with this. Patient history, a lot of other things, age that goes into consideration, which isn't measured in our primary endpoint. But again, with all of the information that's coming out from this trial, this is the pieces that we will be taking to the FDA for those claims. But the intended use was surgical in breast cancer care and really moving that forward at addressing those surgical margins where cancer may have been missed. Yep. That's helpful. And I guess on the publishing the full results, I know you highlighted taking a bit of time to process all of that. Is there a target for either conference or a particular venue that you're hoping to present both the fulsome data from the primary endpoint, but also all the secondary endpoints as well? Yes, absolutely. So we'll be targeting some conferences as well as a full manuscript. But as I mentioned, there's a lot of information. So we're just kind of getting the first information in from our statisticians. We don't even have any of the secondary or anything else yet. So we're kind of excited to get that out as well. So we'll be targeting early, probably Q2 or so for conferences. And then we'll have the publication that will follow sometime after that. That's great. And then lastly, around the breakthrough device designation, and Adrian, thanks for highlighting that. I know I think there's been some back and forth at the FDA and the kind of regulatory bodies in the U.S. on additional reimbursement and potential kind of accelerating that for devices that had breakthrough device designation. Is that something that's an opportunity? Is that something you're looking at, or is that kind of not a focus right now? It's obviously getting it approved and the commercial rollout, but does having that breakthrough device designation help you on any potential future kind of reimbursement discussions that you might be having down the road? Yeah. The answer is yes. We believe it'll help us. Now that we've got the trial sort of at the status in, I mean, as Sarah said, there's still a lot more data to analyze, and then we do have to focus on getting the submission into FDA as quickly as possible early next year, but reimbursement, for obvious reasons, is a significant part of what we are thinking about in terms of being able to bring it to market, so yes, the precise answer to your question is that Breakthrough Device Designation should help speed that along, and as we get into it, we'll understand sort of how to pull those levers to move it as fast as we can. That's great. Thanks again for taking the questions, and congrats on the results. Very exciting. Thanks, Scott. Ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder, if you have a question, please press star one. Your next question comes from Doug Loe, Leede Financial. Your line is already open. Yeah. Thanks very much, Operator. And yeah, congratulations, Adrian, to the team on solid performance in the trial. Just a couple of things from me just kind of filling the gaps. So thanks for the transparency on when you would expect to complete final analysis of all data coming out of the trial and timelines to prospectively publishing everything. Just maybe just a little more granularity on timelines to PMA filing. To file in early 2025 would be a pretty aggressive timeline if you hadn't already substantially advanced your filing efforts with the FDA. I was just wondering if you have submitted any preliminary documents, maybe specifically on manufacturing or quality control to whatever extent that applies to the device and the AI platform. So maybe just a little more granularity of what your specific expectations would be for filing and on timelines to review thereafter. Okay. I'll hand it over to Dr. Butler in a moment. But just to sort of preface it, we have been knowing that we would either be a Class II or Class III, but not knowing precisely which path we would end up on until we got some clarity quite recently through conversation with the FDA. We have been working on the background, preparing documentation, preparing the systems, preparing everything. So there's a lot of under-the-hood work that we've been doing in parallel over the past year-plus to get prepared for that. Just because timing is everything for us. We just need to get this through quickly. So we wanted to waste no time. Sarah, do you want to describe a bit more some of the details around what we need to submit and the timelines of that and answer Doug's question? Sure. Sure. So one of the things is with the PMA, as Adrian mentioned, we've been running kind of in parallel pretty much all the way through. So even though it's a little bit of extra work, it's not really that much extra work. So we kind of been planning for the PMA in the background and assuming if it was de novo, fantastic. But if not, we were at least prepared to submit a PMA. We have not submitted any of the quality work, but the protocol, the statistical analysis plan, and all of that has all been, of course, agreed upon by the FDA and reviewed. We have used some of what they call sprint conversations, which are also part of the breakthrough device. So we've used some of these other avenues with the FDA. So it's not that they haven't seen anything, and we'll be coming to them with the submission at the end that they haven't been part of. They've been a really good partner with us, and we've been keeping them involved right from the very beginning. So I think this, and we're hoping as well for a very smooth transition of getting this through. But we are preparing for a PMA, and we'll be ready sometime in early 2025. That's perfect feedback. Thanks very much. And again, just another curiosity question here. So you indicated that you had substantial improvement in outcomes in comparison to standard of care. And I appreciate that you mentioned that standard of care was a little bit of a dog's breakfast that involves just visual inspection, radiography, presumably histopathology, ultrasound imaging. Just wondering if you provided with a little bit of color on what specific techniques actually do dominate standard of care and if there is any one particular standard of care subsegment in that list that you outperformed in comparison to the others? In general. Yeah. Go ahead, Sarah. Go ahead. No, I was just going to say that's a great question. And these are things that we mentioned in this release that were used during the trial. So it'll be really interesting to kind of look at some of those, but that's not data that we have currently. So that'll come in some of these later analyses that we'll be seeing. So I'd love to give you that answer, but unfortunately, we don't have that yet. Maybe if I can add, if you want to just talk generally, Doug, the standard methods would be take the specimen out and to use a specimen X-ray to visualize the gross location of the lesion. Some centers, if they're fortunate enough, may have intraop pathology where a pathologist will come and help examine the specimen visually. But for the most part, it is a review of a specimen X-ray image would be the main driver with standard of care. Perfect feedback. That's great. Well, listen, yeah, congratulations to your team, to all of you. Thanks very much. Congratulations. That's it for me. There are no further questions at this time. I would hand over the call to Adrian Mendes for closing remarks. Please proceed. Okay. Thanks, Operator. So hopefully, as you can see, we are incredibly excited about the positive top line pivotal trial results today. We believe the primary endpoint data combined with the secondary endpoints and additional reporting to come should serve as an important catalyst for the business going forward. So just to summarize, number one, the pivotal trial met its primary endpoint, achieving both a clinically and statistically significant reduction in breast cancer patients with residual cancer during surgery. Number two, in the study, Perimeter B- Series OCT with Img Assist AI 2.0 demonstrated superiority compared to standard of care, with our technology achieving a P-value of 0.005 versus a target P-value of 0.025. Number three, we would, of course, like to thank the patients, the investigators, and the study personnel for their participation in the pivotal trial. And finally, four, supported by the positive pivotal trial results, we expect to submit our FDA, PMA application for B- Series OCT with Img Assist AI in early 2025. Thank you again for all your time and interest. And we look forward to keeping you updated on our progress throughout the remainder of 2024 and are excited about all the major milestones, important milestones that lie ahead. Thank you.
