ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NDRA) (“ENDRA” or the “Company”), a pioneer in thermoacoustic biomarker imaging for early detection and monitoring of steatotic liver disease (SLD), today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update.
Business Update
Initiated Evaluation of Strategic Alternatives
On March 25, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a process to evaluate strategic alternatives aimed at maximizing shareholder value.
ENDRA will continue to execute on its strategic and operating initiatives during the review process, and has not set a timetable for completion of the process.
Demonstrated Strong Clinical Progress with TAEUS® Liver
On May 14, 2026, the Company announced multi-site clinical validation results for its TAEUS® Liver device demonstrating strong agreement with MRI-PDFF, high reproducibility and consistent performance across operators, sites and patient populations. The analysis, which included 64 patients across U.S. and Canadian sites, reported a correlation to MRI-PDFF of r=0.90, diagnostic accuracy with Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUROC) values ranging from 0.95-0.99 at key thresholds, reproducibility with an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of 0.89 and no meaningful dependence on body mass index (BMI) or body habitus.
On February 26, 2026, ENDRA reported favorable results from a new study that demonstrated the device’s robust intra-user repeatability and inter-user reproducibility, essential factors for long-term monitoring of SLD, which now affects approximately 30% of adults worldwide. The study involved 14 subjects and a total of 56 unique measurements, with TAEUS achieving an ICC of 0.89 with standard error of measurement of 3.3% using independent operators.
These data support TAEUS’s objective to deliver a standardized, accurate and repeatable liver fat test for the growing population affected by SLD. TAEUS Liver has the potential to be deployed in routine clinical practice to address large, underserved populations and could potentially be utilized by pharmaceutical companies for patient recruitment and follow-up in clinical trials.
Management Commentary
“During the first quarter, we continued to strengthen the clinical foundation for TAEUS Liver while maintaining disciplined operational execution,” said Alexander Tokman, CEO of ENDRA Life Sciences. “The recently announced multi-site validation data demonstrated strong agreement with MRI-PDFF across operators and patient populations. These data reinforce our belief that TAEUS Liver has the potential to deliver a practical, point-of-care solution for the large and growing population affected by steatotic liver disease. We remain focused on advancing our regulatory and commercialization strategy while managing our resources carefully.”
