- Pancreatic Cancer Screening: An initial application for Breakthrough Device Designation for the CapsoCam UGI system was not approved due to a lack of defined diagnostic criteria. The Company plans to resubmit after a planned study enrolling approximately 90 patients, expected to start in the second quarter of 2026.
