  Ravi, It would be helpful to know which trial your wife was in as some trials are designed differently than others and you reference DCVax which she was not in their trial. UPenn just published recent ovarian cancer study with 6 patients with widespread cancer throughout the abdominal cavity and DCVax showed significant reduction or even remission of the cancer in 4 of the 6 patients. They are now running a la...

  Yes NWBO is also participating in GBM trial in Germany via Fraunhofer Institute and my understanding is there are 24 oncology hospitals in the trial. The trial is designed the same way as in UK and US in that it has a cross over arm which if patient on placebo has progression of GBM they immediately corss over to actual vaccine. The results in prior trials have been striking and it is also my understanding the trial ...

  Please keep us posted on your wife's progress as this immunotherapy is very encouraging.

She also announced another patient treated with the vaccine for GBM ...

  Ravi, Here is the link to Northwest Bio's clinical trials which has locations listed when you read through and scroll down. I also believe they have compassionate use available in England and Germany if you want to go that route as well. I would call Northwest directly and I am sure they will answer your questions. Good luck! http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00045968?term=Northwest+Biotherapeutics&rank...

  Angela, You have two options for the trial which is great news. Both vaccines have benefitted patients.The only difference I see is prior clinical trial results for DCvax has been significant and having the crossover arm with disease progression is a positive. I found the prior data from the DCvax trial which I have enclosed below for you. Hope this helps and good luck with your mom! Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc,...
