Hi Anne, my husband was dx w/ a #GBM in May 2022. I'm confused by how you did a GBM story w/o discussing the most significant development ever for brain tumors.

Please follow up with #UCLA & #NWBO #DCVAX. Completed P3 last May, approved for UK Specials already &

is a personalized, nontoxic vaccine. It has given patients w/ a 10-18 month prognosis 9, 12, 16, 20+ years & counting with no addtl treatment.

My husband is a 52 yo firefighter and we are counting on #DCVAX to save his life. He doesn't have time for the treatment you covered

This vaccine was created in the US and UK will have full approval before the US, forcing US patients like @Clairotonin, a 36 yo ICU nurse who desperately needs it, to try to get to the UK at a cost of $300k

We need #DCVAX approved by @US_FDA for compassionate use ASAP and

While I'm glad you covered #GBM tumors, you missed the headline. Instead of sharing the incredible successes of #NWBO #DCVAX and how many patients have gone 9, 12, 16, 21 years and counting w/ no addtl treatment, you focused on a Phase 2.

1/
Phase 3 was presented last May. JAMA included in their journal and 60 top docs signed on. Plus the combo trial with Keytruda and Poly-ICLC is incredible.

#DCVAX is helping people NOW. It was created at UCLA and trials were conducted in the UK, CANADA, and GERMANY too.

2/
The UK has already approved for Private Pay/ Compassionate Use and full approval should be soon.

As the wife of a #GBM patient who lost her father-in-law to this horrid disease 22 years ago, I wish you would've included the most hopeful and current option, #DCVAX.

#NWBO As a physician, there is several reasons why the idea of DCVax-L is exciting. #1. Patient compliance for medication in general is about 50-60%. The higher the side effect profile or burden of treatment, the lower the the compliance rate. DCVax-L immense advantage here.
You know who else hates side effects? Physicians. So when a treatment is given as an intradermal injection (high and known compliance) with such a low side effect profile, its something I am very excited about.
#2. After regulatory approval, you have to ask yourself, will neuro surgeons, neuro oncologist, oncologists be prescribing DCVax-L to their patients? Community physicians typically follow the lead of major academic institutions and thought leaders in their field. See prior post
