      NWBO 2.37, -0.01, -0.4%) , Northwest Biotherapeutics ("NWBT") announced today that Lonza Group AG has withdrawn all claims of patent infringement involving NWBT's DCVax(R)-Brain product and other NWBT DCVax(R) products other than DCVax(R)-Prostate. Lonza had alleged that NWBT's DCVax(R) cancer vaccine products infringed certain gene expression technology patents held by Lonza. However, as could be seen from publicly available information sources -- available before the Lonza lawsuit was filed as well as since then -- NWBT does not use any gene modification or gene expression system in its DCVax(R) products.
      Lonza filed suit against NWBT on July 27, 2007, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that all of NWBT's DCVax(R) products infringed certain gene expression patents held by Lonza. After the filing of a lawsuit, a period of up to 120 days is allowed for service of the complaint on the party sued. In this case, Lonza chose not to serve NWBT throughout the entire 120-day period. As a result, the filing of an answer and counterclaims by NWBT was delayed until this extended period had expired. During the 120-day period, NWBT provided further information to Lonza -- in addition to the already publicly available information sources -- showing that NWBT's DCVax(R) products do not use any gene expression system. When Lonza still chose not to withdraw its complaint, NWBT filed an answer and counterclaims as soon as the 120-day period expired, denying all infringement claims by Lonza, and seeking recovery for violation of the Delaware Deceptive Trade Practices Act, unfair competition, tortious interference with prospective contractual relations, and abuse of process, including, among other things, treble damages and punitive damages. Following NWBT's filing of this answer and counterclaim, Lonza agreed with NWBT to the dismissal of both Lonza's entire complaint and NWBT's answer and counterclaims in Delaware.
      However, simultaneously, Lonza filed a new, second lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, again alleging infringement by NWBT and potentially including again up to the full range of NWBT's DCVax(R) products. The new second lawsuit removed explicit references to DCVax(R) products other than DCVax(R)-Prostate, but still claimed that not only DCVax(R)-Prostate but also "other infringing products or technologies" of NWBT infringed Lonza's gene expression patents. In light of the information available to Lonza both from public sources and privately from NWBT, NWBT demanded that Lonza remove all allegations from the second complaint in Maryland relating to any product other than DCVax(R)-Prostate.
      Following NWBT's demand, Lonza has withdrawn from its Maryland complaint all allegations of infringement by NWBT products other than DCVax(R)-Prostate. This withdrawal was put into effect by Lonza's filing of an Amended Complaint in the U.S. District Court in Maryland on December 13, 2007 that accuses only DCVax(R)-Prostate of infringement (and asserts related state law claims).
      Thus, the only remaining allegation by Lonza of infringement now relates to NWBT's DCVax(R)-Prostate product. NWBT strongly disputes that its activities surrounding DCVax(R)-Prostate constitute any infringement by NWBT, and NWBT intends to fight the remaining Lonza claims vigorously.
      The only use of a gene expression system ever connected in any way, even indirectly, with any NWBT product has been the use by an unrelated third-party manufacturer of a gene expression system to produce two batches of recombinant PSMA protein for NWBT nine years ago and six years ago, respectively. The third party manufacturer chose the gene expression system it used, and was the only party who used that expression system in any connection with NWBT's product. NWBT did not use, nor has it ever used, Lonza's expression system. NWBT contracted to receive, and did receive, two batches of recombinant PSMA protein from the manufacturer. The PSMA protein that NWBT received was used in the manufacture of only one NWBT product: DCVax(R)-Prostate. The lots of DCVax(R)-Prostate product which involved these two batches of PSMA protein were used solely for early clinical trials in 1999 and 2000, and briefly in 2002, in the US. No other recombinant protein has ever been used to manufacture any other DCVax(R) product.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 32.822.390 von guntis am 20.12.07 09:11:58Also nach dem ersten kurzen Überfliegen der Meldung würde ich sagen, dass Lonza einen Teil seiner Patentklagen gegen NWBO zurückzieht und nur noch den Teil der Klage, der sich auf DVax Prostata bezieht, aufrecht erhält.

      Größere Auswirkungen dürfte das m.E. allerdings nicht haben. Besser wäre es natürlich gewesen, die hätten alle Klagepunkte zurückgezogen. Habe allerdings keine Ahnung, ob die Patentklage irgendwie berechtigt ist oder nicht bzw. Erfolgschancen hat oder nicht.

      NWBO 2.50, 0.00, 0.0%) (AIM: NWBT; NWBS) ("NWBT") today announced that a Phase I/II clinical trial in at least 30 patients, using DCVax(R)-L for recurrent ovarian cancer, has begun at The University of Pennsylvania Center for Research on Early Detection and Cure of Ovarian Cancer and the Abramson Cancer Center. The first patients have been enrolled and have undergone initial treatment steps in preparation for receiving DCVax(R)-L. The trial involves two sequential studies, and comprises an innovative combination of multiple treatment modalities. DCVax(R)-L forms the cornerstone of the treatment regimen, and is complemented by administration of low doses of certain existing approved drugs to help improve the immune system environment, as well as by adoptive transfer of patients' DCVax(R)-L primed T cells. The principal investigators for the trial are Dr. George Coukos and Dr. Sarah Kim, and the Penn Investigational New Drug ("IND") sponsor is Dr. Carl June. The funding is being provided by the Ovarian Cancer Vaccine Initiative. (See below for more information about this Initiative.)
      DCVax(R)-L is a personalized immunotherapy for cancer, which is made from a patient's own dendritic cells (the master cells which initiate and manage the overall immune system response to a disease), and the "antigens" (biomarkers) from the patient's own tumor tissue which has been surgically removed as part of the standard of care. Such immunotherapy is sometimes referred to as a "therapeutic vaccine," as it is designed not to prevent cancer but to treat patients who already have cancer.
      In the first study being conducted by NWBT and Penn, patients will first undergo standard surgery to reduce their tumor burden. Patients will then receive limited doses of two existing drugs to improve the immune system environment and modify the tumor vasculature. Cancer researchers have become increasingly focused on the role of tumor vasculature and the tumor microenvironment, as well as the possible role of a certain kind of cells called "regulatory T cells," in causing a patient's immune system to become unresponsive to the patient's tumor, and on the potential importance of modifying these factors in order to achieve robust and durable immune responses against tumors.
      Following the preparatory treatments, the patients in this ovarian cancer trial will receive a series of three immunizations with DCVax(R)-L, each two weeks apart, while continuing to receive the low doses of two drugs intended to keep the immune system and the tumor microenvironment in a beneficial condition.
      The second study, which will be a follow-on to the first study but covered by a separate IND filing, will compare two treatment arms continuing further with the drug and DCVax(R)-L regimen, and adding the adoptive transfer of DCVax(R)-L primed, and expanded T cells.
      By combining multiple diverse treatment modalities, structured around DCVax(R)-L as the cornerstone, this clinical trial is designed to implement evolving research findings on the complex interactions between tumors and the "host" tissues in patients, and evolving findings on the many facets of the immune system and what may be required for effective anti-tumor responses.
      The trial is also designed to minimize any potential toxicity for patients. Clinical trial experience to date with DCVax(R)-L products in over 100 treatment cycles in brain cancer patients has shown no toxicity from the DCVax(R)-L treatment (no grade 3 or 4 adverse events). This multi-modal ovarian cancer trial has been designed to maintain this minimal-toxicity approach, by using only low doses of the two drugs complementing DCVax(R)-L for preparatory effects.
      The first patients have been enrolled in the study by Dr. George Coukos. Dr. Coukos stated, "this is a very significant event for patients at the University of Pennsylvania and nationwide who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. We are excited to work with Northwest Biotherapeutics on this cutting edge clinical trial, and to test the DCVax(R) platform on an additional cancer that carries a poor prognosis."
      Dr. Carl June, the Penn sponsor on the trial, stated, "the combination of DCVax(R)-L for ovarian cancer with adoptive immunotherapy using T cells primed by DCVax(R)-L is an innovative approach that deserves testing in clinical trials."
      "We are very pleased to add Ovarian cancer to the DCVax(R) platform, and to have Dr. George Coukos and Dr. Carl June lead this effort as the principal investigators for this clinical trial," stated Alton Boynton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Northwest Biotherapeutics. "Drs. Coukos and June are world renowned experts in immunotherapy and in ovarian cancer. They are playing a major role in the pioneering of novel cancer treatment strategies -- particularly by combining multiple different therapeutic approaches."
      Ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death among women in the U.S. Approximately 22,400 new cases were diagnosed in the U.S. in 2006, and about 15,300 deaths occurred. In the majority of ovarian cancer cases, the disease has already reached late stage, and spread beyond the ovaries, before it is detected and diagnosed. After initial surgical removal of tumors, and treatment with currently available drugs, the median time to disease recurrence is 18 to 20 months. Recurrent disease is considered incurable and usually results in death, even with aggressive chemotherapy treatments. Accordingly, there is a major unmet medical need for new and more effective treatments for ovarian cancer -- especially recurrent ovarian cancer.
      The DCVax(R) platform uses a patient's own tumor, surgically removed as part of the standard of care, to prepare a mix of their personal cancer biomarkers. These personal cancer biomarkers are then loaded onto the patient's own dendritic cells (the master cells responsible for starting and managing the body's overall immune response), and injected back into the patient through a simple intra-dermal injection, similar to an insulin shot, at various intervals over a period of up to three years.

      NWBO, , ) ("NWBT" or the "Company") today announced the most recent long-term follow-up data, as of year-end 2007, on disease progression and overall survival in patients taking part in its Phase I and Phase I/II clinical trials for newly diagnosed patients with Glioblastoma multiforme ("GBM"), the most aggressive form of brain cancer. The additional data covers the period from April 2007 through year-end 2007. During this time, none of the patients experienced disease progression (recurrence) and only one patient died (at 36.4 months). Thus, the data show that in the 19 clinical trial patients receiving DCVax(R)-Brain in addition to Standard of Care, both the median overall survival and the median time to disease progression (recurrence) are more than twice as long as in patients receiving the Standard of Care for GBM. Dr. Linda Liau, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Director of the Malignant Brain Tumor Program at the UCLA School of Medicine ("UCLA"), served as the Principal Investigator for the trial.
      Since 2005, the Standard of Care for patients with GBM is surgery followed by a combination of radiation and daily Temodar(R) chemotherapy, and then 6 monthly cycles of Temodar chemotherapy. The studies defining this Standard of Care achieved a median time to progression of 6.9 months and a median overall survival of 14.6 months (Stupp, et. al., N Engl J Med, 352:987, 2005). Further data from UCLA have demonstrated a somewhat longer median time to progression of 8.1 months and median overall survival of 17.0 months in patients with GBM who received Standard of Care.
      The year-end 2007 data obtained by the Company concerning the 19 patients from the two trials at UCLA with newly diagnosed GBM continue to be positive, with no patients progressing and only one patient dying (at 36.4 months). Overall, the long-term follow-up data are now as follows:
      o 8 of 19 patients are still alive (ranging from 24.5 months to 92
      months), with median overall survival in all patients of 33.8 months
      (p < 0.0079) (the "p value" measures the likelihood that the observed
      clinical effect is due to chance: a 'p' value of 0.0079 means that
      there is a less than 1% possibility that the longer survival time of
      DCVax(R)-Brain-treated patients is due to chance);

      o 5 of the 8 patients who are still alive show no signs of cancer
      recurrence, with follow-up time ranging from 41 months to 92 months;

      o The median time to progression (i.e. tumor recurrence) is 18.1 months,
      compared to 8.1 months for patients treated at UCLA during the same
      time period (p = 0.00001);

      o 90% of patients have surpassed the Standard of Care median time to
      progression of 8.1 months;

      o 84% of patients have surpassed the Standard of Care median overall
      survival time of 17.0 months;

      o To date, 68% of patients receiving DCVax(R)-Brain in addition to
      Standard of Care have lived longer than 2 years, 42% have lived longer
      than 3 years, and 26% have lived longer than 4 years (48, 54, 57, 62
      and 92 months so far);



      "Findings such as these, where we are seeing 68% of our DCVax(R)-Brain-treated patients with GBM alive after two years, and 26% alive for more than 4 years (and counting) reinforce our belief that DCVax(R)-Brain may make a significant difference in the lives of patients with GBM," stated Dr. Alton L. Boynton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Northwest Biotherapeutics. "We believe that the results to date are particularly striking, and we plan to give patients continued booster injections at 3 month intervals. We believe that these booster injections will further enhance and sustain the patient's immune response in attacking the cancer and preventing or delaying its recurrence."
      GBM, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, is estimated to have caused over 12,000 deaths in the US in 2007; and brain cancer is estimated to have caused over 39,000 deaths in Europe in 2002 (in each case the last year for which estimates are available). Beyond surgery to remove the brain tumor, and radiation therapy, there are only two treatments for GBM currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Those treatments have been shown in clinical trials to add only 10-12 weeks of survival in GBM patients. In contrast, in the two clinical trials conducted at UCLA with DCVax(R)-Brain, the patients have experienced much longer extensions of the time to disease progression (recurrence) and overall survival.
      DCVax(R)-Brain is a type of personalized immunotherapy designed to stimulate a patient's own immune system to fight cancer. DCVax(R)-Brain is made up of the patient's own dendritic cells that have been "educated" to recognize and destroy cancer cells bearing the biomarkers of the patient's tumor. Each patient undergoes tumor removal through surgery as part of the current Standard of Care. Dendritic cells drawn from a sample of the patient's blood are exposed in a lab dish to the biomarkers of the patient's own tumor, and are thereby activated and "educated." These activated and "educated" dendritic cells are injected back into the patient, in a simple small injection under the skin similar to a flu shot or insulin shot, at a series of time points several weeks apart and then months apart. These dendritic cells are then able to mobilize the immune system to recognize and attack the cancer, and do so without toxicity to the patient (i.e., without grade 3 or 4 adverse events)
      The Company has initiated a large Phase II clinical trial of DCVax(R)-Brain that is designed and powered to serve as a pivotal trial in support of potential product registration. The trial is currently screening and enrolling patients at a number of sites across the U.S.

      Financial Results for the Year Ended 31 December 2007


      Bethesda, MD – 16 April 2008 – Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. (AIM:NWBS and NWBT; OTC BB: NWBO), the US-based biotechnology company focused on developing immunotherapy products for cancer, today announces its results for the year ended 31 December 2007.

      Operational Highlights

      * January - Phase II study, designed and powered as a pivotal trial, using DCVax®-Brain to treat Gioblastoma multiforme (GBM) initiated in the United States.
      * February - Submitted application to Bundesamt für Gesundheit (BAG) in Switzerland for Authorization for Use of DCVax®-Brain in Switzerland.
      * May - Secured product supply with follow-on contract with Cognate BioServices to manufacture DCVax®-Brain product.
      * June - BAG Authorization granted, subject to fulfillment of certain implementation conditions.
      * December - Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) submitted to Swissmedic requesting full marketing approval of DCVax®-Brain in Switzerland.
      * December - Phase I/II study, funded by the Ovarian Vaccine Initiative, a private philanthropic organization, using DCVax®-L to treat recurrent ovarian cancer initiated at University of Pennsylvania.
      * Strengthened management team with recruitment of Chief Financial Officer, Chief Medical Officer and Vice President of Regulatory Affairs.

      Operational Highlights

      * Successful initial public offering in June, listing on AIM and raising of £15 million gross proceeds.
      * Eliminated debt.
      * As of 31 March 2008, the Company had approximately US$ 2.2 million of cash on hand. The Company is in the process of finalizing a debt financing of up to US$ 8.0 million designed to cover its operating cash requirements until the fourth quarter of this year. It is anticipated that up to US$ 4.0 million may be available to the Company by the end of April, and the balance may become available by June.

      Commenting on the results, Alton L. Boynton, Chief Executive Officer of NWBT said:

      “Northwest made its debut on AIM in June 2007. Since then we have made excellent progress on many fronts including the recruitment of very experienced and highly motivated additions to the management team.

      With regard to our clinical programme, we have announced encouraging data from our key DCVax®-Brain trials, the two Phase I clinical trials continuing to show very positive survival data. Of particular significance, the median survival of patients treated with DCVax®-Brain has reached 33.8 months compared to patients treated with the standard of care at 17.1 months and 8 of the 19 patients are still alive having survived for periods between 25 and 92 months.

      We have also initiated two additional clinical studies, a Phase II trial in Glioblastoma multiforme, designed and powered as a pivotal trial, and a Phase I/II trial in recurrent ovarian cancer in the United States. We are rapidly building our base of clinical sites in the United States and anticipate having some 40 or more active sites by the summer.

      Since June we have completed all of the implementation conditions required by Swissmedic to proceed under the BAG Authorization including establishing a Swiss subsidiary, completing the clean room at our contract manufacturer and submitting a MAA to Swissmedic.”

      Detailed results are included in the Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2008 and can be viewed by at http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/4372s_-2008-4…

      Lonza settles legal dispute with Northwest Biotherapeutics on GS Gene products

      FRANKFURT (Thomson Financial) - Lonza Group AG. said Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. agreed to destroy the GS Gene Expression system materials, made by Lonza, in its possession to end a legal dispute.

      The GS Gene Expression System, owned and licensed by Lonza, is used to make therapeutic recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies.

      Immerhin sind längerwierige Rechtsstreitigkeiten damit wohl vermieden worden.

      Hoffentlich klappt es bald mit der Finanzierung, die Cash-Reserven sind ja mehr als spärlich. Frage mich zudem, ob NWBO nicht längst zu einem Übernahmekandidaten geworden ist angesichts der ständigen Finanzklemme bzw. des fortdauernden Finanzierungs-Drucks. Und die Produkte sind ja immer noch ein erhebliches Stück von einer möglichen Zulassung weg.

      Besonders gefällt mir natürlich der Satz:

      "I've never seen a clinical trial that's had this promise," says Gruber, who is medical director of the Brain Tumor Center of New Jersey at Overlook.


      Bleibt nur zu hoffen, dass sich die Daten der laufenden Studien weiterhin bestätigen und dass das Geld auch ausreicht, um das ganze bis zum erfolgreichen Ende durchzustehen.

      Irgendjemand noch eine Meinung zu dieser Aktie?

      Habe neulich in einem Blog gelesen, dass man sich bei NWBO um eine Finanzierung für den Rest des Jahres bemüht. Ansonsten hab ich keine neuen Infos.

      Der Kursabsturz der letzten Tage dürfte wohl eine Spätfolge des miesen allgmeinen Umfelds sein, ärgerlich ist er allemal.

      Andererseits gibts bei dieser Aktie aber ohnehin wohl nur Top oder Flop.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.780.561 von HeinzBork am 20.08.08 17:50:49Mittlerweile gibt es die Erklärung:

      Höchste Geldnot. Von Toucan gabs zwar nochmals ne Finanzspritze von 1 Mio. Dollar, aber das reicht auch nur noch 5 Wochen. Jetzt muss dringend neues Geld her, aber ob die begonnen Verhandlungen erfolgreich verlaufen, bleibt abzuwarten.

      Sieht m.E. nicht gut aus, denn die Studien benötigen allesamt noch lange Zeit und es wird daher entsprechend viel Geld benötigt.

      Jetzt auch noch eher schlechte Nachrichten von einem Konkurrenten. Cell Genesys musste eine Phase-III-Studie zu einem ähnlichen Impfmittel (GVAX) bei Prostatakrebs abbrechen. Bei der Kombination mit Chemo traten mehr Todesfälle als in der Kontrollgruppe (nur Chemo) auf. Der Kurs brach darauf hin um über 70 Prozent ein.

      Also selbst wenn das Finanzierungsproblem gelöst wird, bleibt hier ein erhebliches Risiko.

      Long-Term Phase I and Phase I/II Trial Data Continue to Show Striking Improvement in Survival of Brain Cancer Patients Who Receive DCVax(R)-Brain

      NWBO 1.35, +0.15, +12.5%) ("NWBT" or the "Company") today announced the most recent long-term follow-up data, through June 15, 2008, from its prior Phase I and Phase I/II clinical trials with DCVax(R)-Brain, which began in 2000 and 2003, for patients with Glioblastoma multiforme, the most lethal type of brain cancer. This long-term data shows that 84% of patients who received DCVax(R)-Brain in these trials have so far lived longer than the median survival of 14.6 months under standard of care, 68% of the patients have so far lived more than 2 years, 58% of the patients have so far lived more than 2-1/2 years, 42% have so far lived more than 3 years, and 26% have so far lived more than 4 years, with patients surviving as long as 8 years to date. The median survival in the patients from these trials is now 36.4 months, under a standard Kaplan Meier analysis.
      DCVax(R)-Brain is a groundbreaking personalized vaccine that takes a patient's own immune cells and trains them in the laboratory to attack the biomarkers from that patient's own tumor cells. The 10-day manufacturing process produces several years of personalized vaccine for a patient, making DCVax(R)-Brain an "off-the-shelf" product for that patient throughout the treatment period. DCVax(R)-Brain is administered as a simple injection under the skin, similar to a flu shot, and is not toxic as chemotherapies are.
      The most recent data provides an update for the period since December 31, 2007, concerning both disease progression and overall survival. During that period, only one of the nineteen patients experienced disease progression (at 59.5 months), and only one patient died (at 37.8 months).
      The long term data from these clinical trials shows that more than 80% of the patients who received DCVax(R)-Brain showed a clinical response. In contrast, the typical response rates for cancer drugs are in the range of 20 to 25% of patients, and have been as low as 13% of patients with some approved cancer drugs.
      DCVax(R)-Brain is now in a large, Phase II clinical trial designed and powered as a pivotal trial, which is currently enrolling patients at 11 medical centers across the U.S. (listed at http://www.nwbio.com).
      Two leading physicians participating in the trial had the following to say:
      "For the first time in the fight against cancer, we are not using a toxic approach to treatment. DCVax(R)-Brain uses patients' own immune cells and own tumor material, and does not cause the kinds of toxic side effects seen with typical cancer treatments. DCVax-Brain is helping lead the way to new patient- friendly treatment approaches," said Dr. Michael Gruber, Clinical Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, NYU Cancer Institute in New York and Overlook Hospital in New Jersey, two of 11 sites of the clinical trial.
      "The ongoing results from the prior clinical trials with DCVax(R)-Brain continue to be very encouraging and exciting. This experimental treatment is breaking new ground in the extension of patients' survival with the most lethal form of brain cancer. This revolutionary approach may allow our patients to live longer, healthier, productive lives," said Dr. Steven Brem, Chief, Neuro-Oncology and Director of Neurosurgery at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Tampa, FL, another active site in the clinical trial.
      Since 2005, the standard of care for patients with newly diagnosed GBM has been surgery followed by a combination of radiation and Temodar(R). The studies defining this standard of care achieved a median time to progression of 6.9 months and a median overall survival of 14.6 months (Stupp, et. al., N Engl J Med, 352:987, 2005, n = 573). Further data from UCLA has demonstrated a somewhat longer median time to progression of 8.1 months, and median overall survival of 17.0 months, in selected patients with GBM who received the same standard of care (n = 119).
      In comparison, the long-term follow-up data as of June 15, 2008, for patients who received DCVax(R)-Brain in the two prior clinical trials is now as follows:
      -- The median overall survival in patients from these two trials is now 36.4 months, as determined by standard Kaplan Meier analysis;
      -- The median time to disease progression (tumor recurrence) is now 18.1 months;
      -- 90% of the patients for these trials patients have surpassed the standard of care median time to progression of 6.9 months;
      -- 84% of the patients have surpassed the standard of care median overall survival time of 14.6 months;
      -- To date, 68% of patients receiving DCVax(R)-Brain in addition to standard of care have lived longer than two years, 58% have lived longer than 2 1/2 years, 42% have lived longer than three years, and 26% have lived longer than four years;
      Dr. Alton L. Boynton, President and Chief Executive Officer of NWBT commented, "We continue to be encouraged by the long-term survival data of the patients treated in these studies, which suggest that treatment with DCVax(R)- Brain has the potential to more than double the time to tumor recurrence, and more than double survival time for patients suffering from this dreadful disease."
      GBM, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, is estimated to have caused more than 12,000 deaths in the United States in 2007; and brain cancer is estimated to have caused over 39,000 deaths in Europe in 2002 (in each case, the last year for which estimates are available). Beyond surgery to remove the brain tumor and radiation therapy, there are only two treatments for GBM patients currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Those treatments have been shown in clinical trials to typically add only 10-12 weeks of survival in GBM patients.
      As noted above, DCVax(R)-Brain is a personalized immunotherapy designed to stimulate a patient's own immune system to fight cancer. DCVax(R)-Brain is made up of the patient's own "dendritic cells," the master cells of the immune system, that have been "educated" to recognize and destroy cancer cells bearing the biomarkers of the patient's own tumor. Each patient undergoes tumor removal through surgery as part of the current Standard of Care. Dendritic cells drawn from a sample of the patient's blood are exposed in a lab dish to the biomarkers of the patient's own tumor, along with certain other proprietary steps, and are thereby activated and "educated." These activated and "educated" dendritic cells are injected back into the patient, in a simple small injection under the skin, similar to a flu shot or insulin shot, at a series of time points several weeks apart and then months apart. These dendritic cells are then able to mobilize the immune system to recognize and attack the cancer, and do so without toxicity to the patient (i.e., without grade 3 or 4 adverse events).
      Financials
      The Company previously announced on August 20, 2008, that it had approximately $1.1 million of cash on hand. The Company estimates that its available cash is sufficient to support its day to day operations through to the end of September 2008. It therefore needs to raise significant additional capital to fund its clinical trials and other operating activities and to repay indebtedness. The Company continues to be in late stage discussions with several parties in regard to additional financing transactions. Shareholders should be aware that if the Company's capital raising efforts are unsuccessful, this will have a material adverse effect on the Company financial position and operations.

      NWBO 0.67, +0.25, +59.5%) ("NWBT" or the "Company") today announced further long-term follow-up data, for the second half of 2008, from its prior Phase I and Phase I/II clinical trials with DCVax(R)-Brain in patients with Glioblastoma multiforme, the most rapid and lethal type of brain cancer. During the update period from June 15, 2008, through January 1, 2009, none of the twenty patients treated with standard of care plus DCVax(R)-Brain died. So far, now, 68% of patients treated with DCVax(R)-Brain have lived more than 2 years, 63% have lived more than 2-1/2 years, 53% have lived more than 3 years, 35% have lived more than 4 years and 25% have lived more than 5 years. In contrast, patients who receive full standard of care (surgery, radiation and chemotherapy) without DCVax(R)-Brain have a median survival of only 14.6 months, and less than 5% of these patients are typically alive at 5 years.
      In addition to there being no deaths among the DCVax(R)-Brain treated patients during the 2008 update period, only two of the twenty patients experienced progression (recurrence) of their brain cancer. One of these two patients had been disease free for nearly 6 years (70 months) at the time of their progression, and the other patient had been disease free for more than 4 years (50 months). In contrast, the usual time to progression (recurrence) in GBM, with full standard of care treatment but without DCVax(R)-Brain, is only 6.9 months.
      In other results from the 2008 update data period:

      -- 95% of DCVax(R)-Brain treated patients have lived longer than the
      median survival of 14.6 months with existing standard of care
      treatment;
      -- Likewise, 95% of DCVax(R)-Brain treated patients have been free of
      disease progression (recurrence) for longer than the median progression
      free survival of 6.9 months with existing standard of care treatment.



      DCVax(R)-Brain is a groundbreaking personalized vaccine that takes a patient's own master immune cells and the biomarkers from that patient's own tumor tissue, and activates the master immune cells so they can mobilize the full immune system to recognize and kill the tumor cells. The 10-day manufacturing process produces several years of personalized vaccine for a patient, making DCVax(R)-Brain an "off-the-shelf" product for that patient throughout the treatment period. DCVax(R)-Brain is administered as a simple injection under the skin, similar to a flu shot, and is not toxic as most chemotherapies are.
      DCVax(R)-Brain is now in a large Phase II clinical trial which is currently enrolling patients at 11 medical centers across the U.S. (listed at http://www.nwbio.com).
      "The long-term survival of patients treated with DCVax(R)-Brain continues to be quite striking and encouraging," commented Dr. Alton L. Boynton, President and Chief Executive Officer of NWBT, "and it is especially exciting that this long-term survival is without toxicity, enabling our patients to go on with their lives in a normal fashion."
      GBM, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, is estimated to have caused more than 12,000 deaths in the United States in 2007; and brain cancer is estimated to have caused over 39,000 deaths in Europe in 2002 (in each case, the last year for which estimates are available). Beyond surgery to remove the brain tumor and radiation therapy, there are only two treatments for GBM patients currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"): one chemotherapy drug, and one drug-infused wafer for surgical implant. Those treatments have been shown in clinical trials to typically add only 10-12 weeks of survival in GBM patients.
      Since 2005, the standard of care for patients with newly diagnosed GBM has been surgery followed by a combination of radiation and Temodar(R). The studies that defined this standard of care, and formed the basis for the approval of Temodar(R), achieved a median overall survival of 14.6 months and a median time to disease progression (recurrence) of 6.9 months (Stupp, et. al., N Engl J Med, 352:987, 2005, n = 573).
      As noted above, DCVax(R)-Brain is a personalized immunotherapy designed to stimulate a patient's own immune system to fight cancer. DCVax(R)-Brain is made up of the patient's own "dendritic cells," the master cells of the immune system, that have been activated and "educated" to mobilize the full immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells bearing the biomarkers of the patient's own tumor. Each patient undergoes tumor removal through surgery as part of the current standard of care. Dendritic cells drawn from a sample of the patient's blood are exposed in a lab dish to the biomarkers of the patient's own tumor, along with certain other proprietary steps, and are thereby activated and "educated." These activated and "educated" dendritic cells are injected back into the patient, in a simple small injection under the skin, similar to a flu shot or insulin shot, at a series of time points several weeks apart and then months apart. These dendritic cells are then able to mobilize the immune system to recognize and attack the cancer, and do so without toxicity to the patient (i.e., without grade 3 or 4 adverse events).

      Ist schon etwas merkwürdig, dass das Unternehmen trotz dieser (scheinbar?) so sensationellen Zahlen immer noch kurz vor der Pleite steht und sich nur von Monat zu Monat mit neuen Krediten und Aktienoptionen über Wasser hält.

      Anscheinend traut sich keines der größeren Unternehmen an den Impfstoff-Ansatz. Vielleicht ändert sich das, falls Dendreon mit seinem Prostata-Wirkstoff demnächst eine positive Phase III präsentieren kann.

      Als Biotech-Laie muss man sich schon wundern, dass hier bei NWBO so wenig passiert. Ich wäre jedenfalls äußerst an dieser Art der Behandlung interessiert, wenn ich an dieser Krankheit erkrankt wäre.

      Ich schließe mich der Meinung von Tiefseetaucher an:
      Es gibt - glaube ich als Laie - extrem positive Nachrichten und es passiert wenig...
      Sind diese Resultate "nichts wert" oder dauert der Kommunikationsfluss solange, bis er die richtigen Leute erreicht ?

      mich würde mal eine qualifizierte Schätzung interessieren wie lange das noch dauern kann bis sie eine Genehmigung bekommen

      ich befürchte leider, dass das noch viele Monate dauert und ob sie das mit der Finazierung so lange hin bekommen ist vermutlich die Frage schlechthin

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.965.663 von guntis am 14.04.09 16:12:30Das ist wohl der Provenge-Effekt. Jetzt heißt es abwarten, ob dieser Effekt bei NWBO zu einer tatsächlichen Veränderung der Lage führt. Etwa in Form eines neuen Groß-Investors oder eines Kaufinteressenten.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.967.144 von guntis am 14.04.09 19:24:14Provenge ist ein anderes "Impfmittel" gegen Krebs, das von der Firma Dendreon entwickelt wird. Die haben heute bekannt gegeben, dass eine Phase III-Studie zu diesem Wirkstoff erfolgreich gewesen sein soll.

      Damit wäre nach etlichen Rückschlägen erstmals eine Zulassung für einen solchen Impfstoff gegen Krebs, im Falle von Provenge Prostata-Krebs, möglich.

      Allerdings sollen die genauen Zahlen zur Studie erst Ende des Monats bekannt gegeben werden. Und dann muss ja auch noch die FDA zustimmen.
