Please see the following replies and let me know if you have additional questions. 1. Arul: Is your device currently in use or still in trial for final approval? Peter: We are currently in the FDA approval process. The FDA has approved our clinical trial protocol, allowing us to treat up to 36 patients across 10 different types of cancer in a single basket trial. This approach saves years of research and millions of dollars, compared to running separate trials for each cancer type. Before we begin our human trials, we need to complete our animal study, which is currently halfway through. We've successfully delivered 1,332 hours of therapy to three animals over a month with no adverse events. The final pathology report is still pending, but there were no concerns noted in the necropsies. Our current timeline shows we will apply for the Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) in September/October 2025, with the first patient enrollment expected by December 2025 or early 2026. Our device is classified as Class 3, not due to its risk, but because it will be used to save lives. ________________________________________ 2. Arul: If in use, how many devices have been sold? Peter: As mentioned above, we are still in the clinical trial phase. Devices are not sold; they will be prescribed by Oncologists for monthly fees. When prescription periods are over, the device is returned and goes through an FDA approved cleaning and refurbishing process for use by the next patient. ________________________________________ 3. Arul: If in trial, how much cash burn and how much time do you anticipate before final approval? Peter: We anticipate completing our trials for final approval by 2028/29. Along the way, we expect valuation increases at key milestones, such as the completion of the animal study, receipt of our IDE, and the successful conclusion of the 36-person trial (around 2026/27). The cost of the first human trial is approximately $5 million. Each step of the process brings us closer to securing the necessary funding, with successful cancer therapies historically attracting significant investment. ________________________________________ 4. Arul: You’ve mentioned trials back in February 2022. Could you share the challenges faced and progress made over the past 3 years? Peter: The biggest challenge has been meeting the FDA’s evolving requirements. Initially, we were asked to complete our animal study on rabbits, similar to the approach used by the company that currently has FDA approval for fixed array TTF. However, halfway through, the FDA changed its policy, requiring us to use swine instead. Pigs presented unique challenges: their rough behavior towards the device and body temperature ranges (101°F–103°F) made it difficult to keep the device cool. We spent 6-10 months developing pig-specific support devices, which have also resulted in innovations that will enhance human therapy. Our animal study is on track to finish by May, with the first three animals already tested. The Last 3 Years – Strengthening Our Team \u0026amp; Intellectual Property Over the past three years, we’ve made significant strides not only in our product development but also in expanding and strengthening our team. This period has seen the addition of two new patents, bringing our total to five granted patents with ten more pending. These advancements have helped protect your investment and position LifeBridge for continued growth. Our Team: We are proud to have built a world-class team of experts who bring a wealth of experience and leadership to LifeBridge: • Scott Krywick, our new VP of Product Development and Head of Programming, made the decision to leave his career at Lockheed Martin to join LifeBridge full-time. His expertise in engineering and product development will be invaluable as we continue to refine and perfect our technology. • Mike Black, our Fractional CFO, has joined us with a proven track record in successfully guiding a Class 3 medical device through the FDA approval process. He was formerly the CEO of a company that commercialized a Class 3 device and sold it to ZOLL Medical Corporation. • Maggie Scheuermann, our Project Manager, brings her expertise in bioengineering, having earned a Master’s degree in the field from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Her technical acumen and leadership are key as we move forward in our development stages. • Michael Hoyos, our Chief Business Officer, comes with exceptional experience from his time at JPMorgan and McKinsey \u0026amp; Company. Michael led high-impact engagements in life sciences, healthcare, and private equity. A cum laude graduate from The Wharton School and holder of an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Michael is enhancing our business strategy and funding efforts. • Finally, we are honored to have Dr. Zeev Bomzon PhD as our Lead Scientist. Dr. Bomzon is widely regarded as one of the world’s top experts in Tumor Treating Fields (TTF), holding 14 patents related to TTF technology and publishing over 30 scientific articles. He was formerly the Director of Science at Novocure, the only other company involved in TTF technology, which is currently valued at over $1.5 billion. Here’s a note from Dr. Bomzon on why he joined LifeBridge: “I am here because the science indicates that LifeBridge has created a breakthrough device with the potential to unleash the full benefit of Tumor Treating Fields and help hundreds of thousands of people, as well as do well for us all.” Zeev Bomzon, PhD Our team’s collective expertise, coupled with our growing intellectual property portfolio, strengthens our position as we work toward delivering life-saving cancer therapies. We’re confident that these additions will be instrumental in the success of LifeBridge. 5. Arul: What is the cost per device? Peter: The cost per device is decreasing as we automate production and build efficiencies. Third-party reimbursement for Tumor Treating Fields (TTF) has been established worldwide, including through Novocure’s efforts. For example, TTF for GBM brain cancer is reimbursed at $15,000 per month by Medicare. Our device will be priced similarly to traditional cancer therapies, maintaining an 85% gross profit margin, which aligns with industry standards. ________________________________________ 6. Arul: What does it take to manufacture the device? Peter: With careful planning, we can produce multiple systems for the trial in about three months. ________________________________________ 7. Arul: What is your current cash in hand and the burn rate? Peter: Our capital raising has been cyclical, with periods of intense fundraising followed by focused development work. This approach has been efficient but sometimes intermittent. To address this, we've hired Michael Hoyos as our Chief Business Officer, who is streamlining our capital raising efforts. We currently have 70 accredited investors who have collectively invested over $5 million in the company. These investors remain committed to our mission. For more details on the fundraising process, you can contact our lead investor, Dr. John Young. ________________________________________ 8. Arul: How long do you plan on keeping this raise open? Peter: The current campaign is scheduled to close on August 6th, but it may close earlier depending on the success of our parallel funding efforts.","author_name":"Peter F Travers","votes":0,"created_at":"2025-04-07T02:24:27Z"}]},{"id":165961,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:165961","question":"Lifebridge team, you have grabbed my attention today!

We are keeping our eye on new drug therapies that reduce metastases without compromising the immune system. To date most of the TTF used in clinical trials has been in combination with powerful chemo's that often compromise the immune system. What research has documented is that there is a correlation between immune system health and the effectiveness of TTF. One of the main mechanisms of TTF is that it causes cancer cells to produce malformed daughter cells. These malformed daughter cells are now recognized by the immune system as foreign. An immune response occurs, and tumors are reduced. In one study of Glioblastoma (Brain Cancer) patients who took dexamethasone and had severely compromised immune systems got no benefit from TTF. Those patients with functioning immune systems had breakthrough responses. Doctors treating Glioblastoma patients who are on TTF are now advised to reduce the dose of Dexamethasone. As you know, in order for TTF to be affective the device needs to be worn. It is our belief that prescribing TTF in the presence or aftermath of harsh side effects from chemo reduces the patient’s ability to wear the needed TTF device. Their too tired and worn out. Although we plan on getting our device approved for the most difficult cases, we believe the best way to serve metastatic patients is to treat them when they are asymptomatic. The modern reoccurring metastatic patient is often brought into periods of remission. In today’s world new reoccurrences are often discovered through blood work (tumor markers) before any symptoms occur. This means we are presented with a patient with the healthiest immune system, best relative physical condition and most importantly, in most cases, relatively small tumors. This is an opportunity to introduce our adaptable form of TTF that can handle diffuse disease, bring that person back to remission and keep them in a long-term state of no symptoms from disease. Thus, making cancer a manageable disease. There are preclinical animal studies that show animals who even had a limited time on TTF experienced longer periods of time before the cancer returned compared to control groups. By repeating TTF as needed or as a prevention (perhaps on one week off two weeks) the science implies we can keep cancer in check. As our campaign continues we will ask Doctor Zehngebot our medical advisors to offer input as well. Again thank you for your insightful question.","author_name":"Peter F Travers","votes":0,"created_at":"2021-08-27T16:46:42Z"}]},{"id":322676,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:322676","question":"last question. did you change your mind and decide not to do this raise. trying to figure out why they gave me a refund without me telling them to.

You’re right that absolute statements can create unnecessary risk. When we say “no side effects,” what we mean — and what we should state more precisely — is no major or systemic side effects. As with any external medical device, there is the possibility of minor, localized skin irritation, which has been observed across the entire Tumor Treating Fields category. Importantly, those minor effects are well understood, manageable, and treatable, and they are not systemic or cumulative. Physicians familiar with TTFields generally agree that most skin issues seen with existing devices are driven largely by continuous adhesive patches that stay on for 3–4 days and prevent normal skin care, including showering. Our device is designed differently: It does not rely on long-term adhesive patches It is removed daily, allowing the skin to breathe and be cleaned Patients receive proactive skin-care guidance All patients sign informed consent documents outlining all potential side effects, including minor skin irritation In practice, this approach appears to meaningfully reduce skin issues. As one real-world example (not a claim, just experience), my wife wore an early version of our device using our application method for over 800 days with no skin irritation. So the most accurate way to describe our safety profile is exactly as you suggested: no major side effects, with possible minor, localized skin irritation that is typically very treatable. I appreciate you calling this out — precise language matters, especially today — and thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for being part of the journey.","author_name":"Peter F Travers","votes":0,"created_at":"2026-01-05T23:51:05Z"}]},{"id":322470,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:322470","question":"I am going to invest just no where near what I would have if you were in it for the long term. last question, what kind of roi multiple are you shooting for for investors?

On return expectations: we don’t target or promise a specific ROI multiple.

For context only, there are comparable oncology and Class III medical device companies that, after reaching meaningful clinical validation and attracting strategic interest, ultimately delivered investor outcomes in the ~30x to 60x range. Those outcomes were driven by clear clinical signals, defensible IP, and very large unmet markets — not by short-term fundraising events. It’s important to emphasize that these are historical outcomes, not projections, and that not every program achieves them. Oncology and Class III medical devices carry real risk, and investors should size their participation accordingly. Our focus at LifeBridge is to build toward the same types of value-creating milestones — safety validation, early human data, strong IP, and a large metastatic cancer market — step by step and with discipline.

The present form of TTF has gained 3rd party reimbursement globally, including by Medicare in the U.S. We expect our advanced system to do the same. As a monotherapy, without side effects we expect to document less ER visits and home care issues, which should make us attractive to insurance companies. For noninsured patients the cost is projected to be similar to existing chemo therapies, but our final cost is yet to be determined. We hope whoever purchases our company will provide special programs for the uninsured. 2. We do not yet know what our cost will be, although we run our estimates at cost similar to most Chemo therapies. Oncologists will prescribe our therapy. However, it is unlikely there will be referral fees. Most Oncologist are on salary today from larger health care systems. 3. The most likely scenario for LifeBridge is that it will be purchased after our human clinical trial is completed in 24 to 36 months. This will allow a larger company to finish the final trial more quickly and take the therapy global. Other oncology companies that have sold at that stage have done extremely well for their investors and for those who need the therapy the most. LifeBridge has multiple global companies following our progress. 4. We are in the middle of our 5 million dollar raise, this should be enough for us to complete our pilot human trial and exit.

Your questions help illuminate important aspects of our work, not only for yourself but for others following our progress. Let's dive in using the same Q\u0026amp;A format. Zac: How are you thinking about potential side effects, particularly given the broader treatment area involved in systemic applications, compared to more localized settings like glioblastoma? Also, have you explored whether the side effect profile varies based on the number of discs or the total surface area used? Peter – LifeBridge: Fortunately, the size of the treatment area does not influence the side effect profile significantly. When applying Tumor Treating Fields (TTF) through the torso, our primary concern is the potential for thermal effects. However, decades of research have shown that the frequencies we use—between 100 kHz and 500 kHz—do not cause internal heating. The most sensitive area remains the skin where the transducers are applied. Both our LifeBridge system and the currently approved fixed-array TTF systems automatically shut off if the temperature at a transducer exceeds 105°F, well below the threshold for skin damage. Larger arrays used in torso applications can safely increase internal field intensities without affecting skin temperature. For example, using 12 transducers on the front and 12 on the back may yield an electric field of 1.25 V/cm through a tumor, which may slow progression. Doubling to 24 transducers on each side can raise this to 2.5 V/cm—potentially sufficient to stop tumor growth—without increasing the power per transducer. That’s because the total power is spread across more transducers, keeping the heat load consistent. To date, LifeBridge has administered over 2,000 hours of therapy to large animals (swine) with no adverse effects. Both bloodwork and gross pathological examinations were normal. Human studies of torso-applied TTF—covering non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, mesothelioma, and ovarian cancer—further validate safety. A meta-analysis published in Annals of Oncology concluded: \"This meta-analysis detected no new safety signals in clinical studies where TTFields were applied to the torso. The incidence of TTFields-related skin toxicity was similar to that reported in glioblastoma patients. The application of TTFields to the torso is safe.\" Link to study: https://www.annalsofoncology.org/article/S0923-7534(19)58719-1/fulltext On a personal note, I was the caregiver for my late wife who used large fixed-array TTF on her lungs and liver for over 800 days. She had no skin issues or TTF-related side effects during that time and maintained a high quality of life. It was only when her disease became diffuse that existing TTF systems failed. LifeBridge is specifically designed to overcome that limitation. Zac: And how might these side effects compare to those typically seen with chemotherapy in metastatic disease? Peter: The side effect profile of TTF is vastly different from chemotherapy. While chemotherapy—especially for metastatic disease—often causes fatigue, nausea, hair loss, nerve damage, and even cognitive decline (\"chemo brain\"), TTF does not cause these issues. The only common side effect from TTF is minor skin irritation at the site of the transducers. We believe the LifeBridge system may reduce even this, as it allows daily removal of the device. In contrast, current fixed-array TTF systems often remain in place for 3 to 4 days at a time, preventing showers and limiting skin recovery time. Daily removal offers not just freedom but also skin recovery and hygiene benefits. Zac: We understand that treating metastatic patients is a key differentiator of ATTF. Could you explain the rationale behind prioritizing metastatic disease first? Peter: Absolutely. Our focus on metastatic disease—particularly recurring, asymptomatic cases—is driven by a mix of clinical, humanitarian, and business considerations. Clinically: 1. TTF research shows smaller tumors respond better due to higher electric field density. Many metastatic patients are closely monitored post-remission, allowing early detection of recurrence via tumor markers—often before symptoms emerge. These small tumors present an ideal treatment target. 2. For primary tumors, existing standards of care usually mandate chemotherapy. This complicates patient compliance with TTF, as wearing the device while managing severe side effects reduces adherence. 3. A robust immune response enhances TTF efficacy, and many chemotherapies suppress the immune system. Our target population—patients not currently undergoing chemotherapy—offers better immune function, improving therapeutic outcomes. Supporting study Humanitarian: Many of these patients are running out of options. Existing therapies often fail in treating diffuse metastatic disease, contributing to over 500,000 deaths annually in the U.S. alone. We aim to serve this urgent unmet need. Business: Our basket trial design allows us to target up to 14 tumor types under one regulatory pathway. This dramatically expands our addressable market—potentially 4 to 10 times larger than that for any single primary tumor type. It also gives us a first-mover advantage in a segment with minimal competition. The fixed-array TTF has shown limited efficacy in diffuse disease, and other therapies are similarly falling short. In short, we're pursuing the most impactful clinical application with the highest chance of success—helping patients who most urgently need new solutions. While our device has the potential to treat primary tumors more effectively than current systems, our initial focus remains on metastatic disease. We’re open to licensing our technology for primary tumor applications while we concentrate on building out the metastatic treatment pathway.

We really appreciate detailed inquiries like these, they help investors better understand the scope of our mission and the opportunity we’re building at LifeBridge. Below are our responses: ________________________________________ 1. Patent Coverage \u0026amp; Long-Term Defensibility Zac – D3VC: We’re curious how well this is protected—could you share more about the scope of your patent coverage and how you’re thinking about long-term defensibility? Peter – LifeBridge: We’re very confident in both our current and future patent coverage. Our approach has been methodical, beginning with our core switching capability. This unique capability allows us to target diffuse late-stage cancers that other devices cannot, while also giving us control over the key variables that enhance the efficacy of tumor treating fields (TTF): • Heat management • Intensity control • Frequency sweeping • Angles of delivery (including multiple simultaneous angles) • Compliance enhancement Each of these controlled variables has been shown to increase tumor reduction and potentially improve quality of life—without introducing side effects. Our patent strategy is focused on protecting these innovations comprehensively. To date, we have: • 5 granted U.S. patents • 10 patents pending • A projected portfolio of 20+ total patents Each patent application includes 3–10 separate embodiments. U.S. patent law allows us to claim only one per application, but by disclosing the additional embodiments and filing them before the original is approved, we ensure exclusivity under patent law. This allows us to expand and protect our intellectual property efficiently. Additionally, we file Continuation-in-Part (CIP) patents wherever applicable. These CIPs build off existing patents but introduce new features or inventions, which receive new priority dates—effectively restarting the patent clock for those new elements. We believe this creates a broad, deep, and time-extended patent family that strengthens our long-term defensibility. We're also taking advantage of the Hatch-Waxman Act, which allows for up to 5 additional years of patent protection for Class III devices (like ours), compensating for the time lost during FDA review. Originally created for pharmaceuticals, the law now includes medical devices as clarified by the Supreme Court. Finally, cancer is a global concern, so our IP strategy is international. We have patents in: • Canada, Mexico, the EU, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Japan, China, and India. A strong vote of confidence: two independent patent attorneys (not affiliated with our firm) have personally invested in LifeBridge. One of them, Brian Russel, explains his decision on our Wefunder page (third featured investor down). ________________________________________ 2. Clinical Trial Timeline \u0026amp; Published Data Zac – D3VC: We’d love to understand your timeline for trials and FDA approval, and whether any preclinical or clinical data has been published so far. Peter – LifeBridge: Our goal is to complete FDA requirements and initiate our first human clinical trial by December 2025 or Q1 2026. The trial protocol has already been approved and follows a basket trial design, which allows us to treat up to 14 cancer types in a single study—saving us years of research that would otherwise require individual trials for each cancer type. • First trial: 36-patient pilot study, which is the medical device equivalent of Phase 1 and 2 in drug development. • Target completion: 2026–2027 Impact: Successful completion typically results in a significant increase in company valuation. To get an understanding of what can happen to the valuation of a company when a major cancer therapy is approved, please see comments from featured investor Mike Hughes (4th one down click on google drive under his initial comment). • The Pilot study will evolve into a Pivotal trial—a larger, confirmatory study aimed at full FDA approval—targeted for 2028–2029. We’re building on a large body of evidence: hundreds of peer-reviewed articles show that frequencies between 100 kHz and 500 kHz can disrupt multiple types of solid tumors, including breast, pancreatic, liver, colorectal, lung, ovarian, and more. Our device delivers these frequencies at superior intensities. We’re more than halfway through our FDA-regulated animal study under GLP protocol, where we’ve already delivered 1,500+ hours of therapy to swine models with no side effects or adverse events. Our lead scientist is preparing these results for peer-reviewed publication. ________________________________________ 3. Impact of Prior TTF Approval on Our Regulatory Pathway Zac – D3VC: Does the prior FDA approval of TTF therapy inform or accelerate your own regulatory pathway? Peter – LifeBridge: Great question. The prior FDA approval of TTF technology absolutely validates the mechanism of action, confirming that TTF works. However, because our device is a Class III medical device, we are required to follow the Premarket Approval (PMA) process—an intensive pathway reserved for life-saving or life-sustaining technologies. This means the regulatory burden is not reduced, but the scientific groundwork is well established. ________________________________________ Thank you again for your questions!

All the patents in question are fixed term. They cannot be renewed. Patent terms are for 20 years. The first day in the life of a patent is called the \"Priority Date\". Most of the patents in question have Priority Dates between 2000 and 2002. Sometimes, patents can be extended because the patent office took longer than allowed to do their work. So, if they took 6 months too long, the patent life is given another 6 months. Sometimes new patents can be filed with slight improvements over the first patents. These are called \"Continuation Patents\". Even though these patents might be years younger than the original, the patent office still considers them part of the original patent and therefore gives them the Priority Date of the parent patent. We have taken these scenarios and others into account. Just to clarify the patents in question cannot be renewed or further extended. Thank you again for your question. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

I can see this combination as a powerful winning combo.","answer":"Hello Kirtson, thank you for your insightful question. We are keeping our eye on new drug therapies that reduce metastases without compromising the immune system. To date most of the TTF used in clinical trials has been in combination with powerful chemo's that often compromise the immune system. What research has documented is that there is a correlation between immune system health and the effectiveness of TTF. One of the main mechanisms of TTF is that it causes cancer cells to produce malf..."},{"question":"It seems much of the future potential is based on Novocure patents expiring in the next few years.
