NWBO: Once In A Decade Best Stock Investment -- Regulatory Approvals Coming! [Dec10, 2022 在第一页加了中文简述]

专门分析了一下NWBO, 十分差。2016 的第三季的放量下杀，意味离死不远了，绝对不能抄。获利盘己尽出！第四季的量萎缩且股价离1元太远，摘牌或反向合股就在眼前。服了，你认为渥村的人都是乡下人？有点良心好不好？

Wow, already victimized, poor baby,

Has anybody pointed a gun at your head forcing you to do anything? If you think you are really confident in your DD, you may know that you can put your money into where your mouth is: go short the stock or leave it. There are always greener pastures somewhere else.

BTW 1, I think you must have read my disclaimer in the first post, and I guess you are over 18 years old now so that you can make your independent decisions?

BTW 2, just a friendly reminder, 不要学得一副痞子习气, 动不动就代表别人说话.

To conclude, you have once again shown you have had absolutely no grasps on any small biotech companies!

Not to wast any more time to reply to your future post(s). Bye bye kid.

DCVax-L phase 3 trial has been updated recently, showing the Estimated Primary Completion Date is now November 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) as compared to September 2016 which was updated in October 2015:

https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00045968

Implications:

1) The trial is not dead which contradicts with the market (reflected with the extremely low share price of around $0.5);

2) The target trial completion day which is moved forward for only about two months suggests the targeted 248 PFS events could be reached in November; and

3) Now it has practically become a counting game between shorts and longs. If shorts are right, i.e., the trail fails, then the price could drop further but would recover within a short period of time after several promised combinational P2 trials for several different types of cancers start; and if the trial is a success, the share price would at least increase to about $15 ~ $20 range within a short period of time, i.e., days to reflect a market cap of around $3 billion which is only the market cap for many other promising biotech companies which have not had even a single drug/cancer vaccine/product approved.

At such a time and a low price, it seems to be no brainer the risk/reward ratio is strongly in favor of longs.

GLTA!

A much expected financing deal is announced today for funding the anticipated several combinational P2 trials for different cancers:

[the old link no longer works:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/nw-bio-announces-registered-direct-134500060.html

here is new link with the same contents: NWBO / Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. - 424B5 - Prospectus - 424B5 - October 13, 2020]

The bad news is the price is a lot off the previous day's price, $0.38 versus $0.53, but the good news is the deal is done with one institutional investor and there are no warranties attachment.

With this deal, it is highly likely there will not be another deal until DCVax-L P3 trial results are announced or until the combinational trials are announced.

Nonetheless, in the biotech sector, anything is possible!

I have added today at $0.46 to my already large position in anticipation of positive L results.

As of 13 June 2016, Linda Liau, the principal investigator of Northwest Biotherapeutics' DCVax-L Phase 3 trial for brain cancer, and one of the highest paid surgeons in the world is still proud of her achievement, developing the first cellular vaccine (DCVax) for brain cancer.

I will be also proud of her in achieving that wholeheartedly if DCVax is approved by FDA without any hesitation!

Again it is worthy of note that investing in small biotech companies is not only very hard, but damned hard.

"What achievement are you most proud of in your professional career? Developing the first cellular vaccine (DCVax) for brain cancer."

Beverly Hills Film Exec Pledges $1 Million to UCLA Neurosurgery for Brain Cancer Research

Film executive pledges $1 million to UCLA Neurosurgery's brain cancer research - Daily Bruin

A local film executive has pledged $1 million for the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery’s brain cancer research. The donation comes from Ted Gagliano, an executive at 20th Century Fox Studios who helped create films like “Titanic” and “Avatar.” Dr. Linda Liau, a neurosurgeon and professor of...

"
Film executive Ted Gagliano (Beverly Hills, Calif.) has committed $1 million to support the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery’s brain cancer research. As president of post-production at 20th Century Fox Studios, he has helped guide more than 500 films to the big screen during his 30-year career, including box-office blockbusters like “Avatar” and “Titanic.”

“We are deeply grateful to Mr. Gagliano for his compassion and farsighted vision,” said Dr. Neil Martin, chairman of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. “His generous gift will enable the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery to pioneer new approaches to fighting aggressive brain cancer and enable more patients to lead longer lives.”

In an unexpected twist of fate, Gagliano was invited by a colleague to attend UCLA Neurosurgery’s 2011 Visionary Ball the same night that one of his closest friends was undergoing surgery to remove a glioblastoma, a fast-growing, lethal brain tumor. During the dinner gala, a patient at each table stood up and shared how a UCLA neurosurgeon had saved his or her life.

“The survivors’ personal stories of hope and courage really inspired me,” Gagliano recalled. “I was moved by the unfairness of brain disease, and it hit me how lucky I am to be healthy. I learned about the great work that UCLA does and wanted to do more to help.”

A tour of researcher Dr. Linda Liau’s laboratory helped seal Gagliano’s commitment. Her team has developed a novel vaccine that trains a patient’s immune system to recognize and destroy brain cancer cells, adding years to the patient’s life.

“Seeing my name on a building isn’t my thing,” Gagliano said. “What excites me is the chance to offer cancer patients a promising treatment that gives them hope and makes their lives better. That’s why I was fascinated by Dr. Liau’s vaccine work. She isn’t just surgically removing brain tumors; she’s looking for new ways to stop them in their tracks for good. I wanted to support research that she wouldn’t be able to do otherwise.”

The funds from Gagliano’s pledge will allow Liau to test a new approach that boosts the vaccine’s impact by strengthening the immune system.

“Mr. Gagliano’s generous support will enable my team to take a significant step forward in improving personalized therapies to fight glioblastoma,” said Liau, vice chair of neurosurgery and director of the UCLA Brain Tumor Program. “We are exploring new research advances and launching clinical trials that we hope will work better in keeping patients cancer-free longer.”

Pledging $1 million to support research was just Gagliano’s first step toward making a difference in brain cancer patients’ lives. Earlier this year, he joined the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery’s board of advisers and hosted the first annual Golden Portal Awards. Benefiting UCLA’s Brain Tumor Program, the event pays tribute to excellence in film and science.

In recognition of Gagliano’s personal contributions, the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery will present him with its prestigious Luminary Award at its 2012 Visionary Ball at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Oct. 25. (More info at UCLA Neurosurgery Visionary Ball, Los Angeles, CA)

The UCLA Department of Neurosurgery is committed to providing the most comprehensive patient care through innovative clinical programs in minimally invasive brain and spinal surgery; neuroendoscopy; neuro-oncology for adult and pediatric brain tumors; cerebrovascular surgery; stereotactic radiosurgery for brain and spinal disorders; surgery for movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease; and epilepsy surgery. For 21 consecutive years, the department has been ranked among the top neurosurgery programs in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, including No. 1 in Los Angeles and No. 2 on the West Coast."

Finally some encouraging news though not the registration P3-L trial, which may come sooner than most would think. Hopefully and I strongly believe this is just harbinger. meaning more to come.

Press Release
NW Bio Announces Phase II Clinical Trial Program Combining DCVax®-L and Pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) for Colorectal Cancer
The beauty of this cooperation is the prestigious German university will rake the bill.

Published: Nov 17, 2016 8:15 a.m. ET

BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Biotherapeutics NWBO, +22.30% ("NW Bio"), a U.S. biotechnology company developing DCVax® personalized immune therapies for solid tumor cancers, today joined the University Medical Center (UMC) of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in Germany in announcing a Phase II clinical trial program combining DCVax®-L and Pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) for colorectal cancer with liver metastases.

The trial will be conducted as an investigator-initiated trial led by the University of Mainz, thereby substantially reducing the costs involved. NW Bio will provide the DCVax-L products and MSD Sharp & Dohme GmbH will provide the Pembrolizumab. (MSD Sharp & Dohme is the operating name used by U.S.-based Merck & Co., Inc. outside the U.S. and Canada.) All of the parties contributed to and approved the novel trial design.

This trial will combine a broad spectrum personalized vaccine (DCVax®-L) with a highly targeted checkpoint inhibitor drug (Pembrolizumab). In contrast, most combination trials to date have combined two specifically targeted agents, with no broad spectrum agent included.

Colorectal cancer represents a major unmet medical need. The number of new cases per year is second only to lung cancer, and colorectal cancer results in approximately 700,000 deaths per year in the Western world. Colorectal cancer is very heterogeneous and various therapies to date, including various immune therapies when used as a single agent, have been disappointing.


The UMC of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is a leading Center of Excellence for colorectal cancer, and especially liver metastases of colorectal cancer. The 1 [st] Department of Medicine provides a wide range of treatments and conducts a variety of clinical trials, especially in gastrointestinal oncology.

After the parties complete certain preparatory activities, including obtaining regulatory approvals, the Phase II trial will treat patients for up to 6 months with DCVax [®] -L and Pembrolizumab, followed by long-term follow-up regarding patient survival.

Linda Powers, CEO of NW Bio, noted that, "More than 2 years of planning and work have gone into developing this Phase II trial program. We are excited to work with a leading team to test the potential synergies of combining broad spectrum DCVax-L and targeted Pembrolizumab to treat a heterogeneous and challenging disease such as metastatic colorectal cancer."

A letter from VP on today's news. Notice the statement "today the first of our Phase 2 trial programs was announced by the Center of Excellence at the University of Mainz, Germany"

"November 17, 2016
NASDAQ:NWBO

Dear XX,

It is an exciting day for NW Bio. Building on more than 2 years of work and planning, today the first of our Phase 2 trial programs was announced by the Center of Excellence at the University of Mainz, Germany, who will lead this trial, as well as by us. This particular program involves a clinical trial of NW Bio’s DCVax®-L and Merck’s checkpoint inhibitor drug Pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) for metastatic colon cancer.

After regulatory approvals are obtained, the trial will be conducted as an investigator-initiated trial by leading experts at the University of Mainz. This approach also substantially reduces the cost of the trial.

As indicated in the release from the University of Mainz, it is anticipated that combining a broad spectrum therapeutic vaccine (DCVax-L), which is designed to mobilize an overall immune system response, with a very targeted checkpoint inhibitor (Pembrolizumab), which is designed to prevent the tumor from suppressing or repelling the immune attack, could prove to be quite synergisticWe are excited to be explore this potential synergy in colon cancer, which today results in over 700,000 deaths per year and for which there is an urgent need for new and better treatment options.

It is indeed an exciting day for NW Bio as we take an important step into the world of combo trials.

Thanks for all your help, support and patience…

Sincerely,

Leslie J. Goldman
Senior Vice President for Business Development"
 
Donald Trump Going to reform FDA for Need of Patients for New & Innovative Medical Products
Donald is going to "Reform the Food and Drug Administration, to put greater focus on the need of patients for new and innovative medical products"

His policy on healthcare below:

"Healthcare

It is clear to any objective observer that the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which has resulted in rapidly rising premiums and deductibles, narrow networks, and health insurance, has not been a success. A Trump Administration will work with Congress to repeal the ACA and replace it with a solution that includes Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and returns the historic role in regulating health insurance to the States. The Administration’s goal will be to create a patient-centered healthcare system that promotes choice, quality and affordability with health insurance and healthcare, and take any needed action to alleviate the burdens imposed on American families and businesses by the law.

To maximize choice and create a dynamic market for health insurance, the Administration will work with Congress to enable people to purchase insurance across state lines. The Administration also will work with both Congress and the States to re-establish high-risk pools – a proven approach to ensuring access to health insurance coverage for individuals who have significant medical expenses and who have not maintained continuous coverage.

The Administration recognizes that the problems with the U.S. health care system did not begin with – and will not end with the repeal of – the ACA. With the assistance of Congress and working with the States, as appropriate, the Administration will act to:

Protect individual conscience in healthcare
Protect innocent human life from conception to natural death, including the most defenseless and those Americans with disabilities
Advance research and development in healthcare
Reform the Food and Drug Administration, to put greater focus on the need of patients for new and innovative medical products
Modernize Medicare, so that it will be ready for the challenges with the coming retirement of the Baby Boom generation – and beyond
Maximize flexibility for States in administering Medicaid, to enable States to experiment with innovative methods to deliver healthcare to our low-income citizens."

The US 21st Century Cures Act is passed today in the Senate after it was passed in the hours earlier. The act will be effective once Obama signs it, which could happen later today.

This is a major victory not only for Obama, the Republic Party and the Democratic Party, but most importantly also for the American people. Of course, pharmaceutical companies will be also beneficial.

"“This is a reminder of what we can do when we look out for one another,” the president said. “Like Joe Biden and so many other Americans, I’ve lost people I love deeply to cancer. I’ve heard often from those whose loved ones are suffering from Alzheimer’s, addiction and other debilitating diseases. Their heartbreak is real, and so we have a responsibility to respond with real solutions. This bill will make a big difference, and I look forward to signing it as soon as it reaches my desk.”"
 
Below is a beautiful story about Kat, a British woman whose brain cancer has disappear about one year after DCVax treatment:

https://www.facebook.com/katscure/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE

Several years ago she suffered seizure, triggered by a brain tumour. This was graded as a low grade and for a number of years remained inactive.

Three months after the birth of our son, we were told that Kat's brain tumour had progressed to the most aggressive stage of Glioblastoma.

The following months brought chemotherapy and radiotherapy and in December 2013 it looked like good news! There was a significant reduction.

However a few months later Kat's suffered further seizures and was taken to hospital.

For our son’s first birthday she was undertaking major brain surgery to have as much of the tumour removed as possible.

Several months of chemotherapy followed until we were told it wasn't working and there was no more that can be done and Kat has a matter of months to live.

This brings us close to where we are today and exploring the incredible advances in science.

Kat signed up to a medical trial and for the last 12 months has seen success allowing a return to a normal life for a short while.

The tumour is now growing again and we need your help and support to enable us to finally say good bye to the nightmare and explore these new treatments and find #KatsCure

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/katscure

[That is the initial plea for raising funds for her treatment with DCVax.]

March 17
Update:
Kat is doing really well on her current chemo, feeling good but a little tired (probably from having a crazy 3 year old) the chemo is hitting harder each month though which is tough.
We are still waiting for the FDA to sign off their mid trial review of DCVAX, the wait is getting a bit agonising and we are looking at what we can do. One option is to start the Check point inhibitor treatment which is expensive, potentially, we would need over £100,000 for this. (on top of saving money for DCVAX and Avastin).

While we wait on news from America and on our options, we thank you for you continued support and donations

Kat's Cure
April 28 ·
we have some wonderful news. Kat recently had an MRI to make a comparable to the Post surgery MRI scan from October.

THERE HAS BEEN “A HUGE REDUCTION” in the tumour.

This was, if honest a huge surprise for many reasons, but obviously we are all over the moon!

Current chemotherapy was only expected to slow progression or hold things at bay, the news of such a important reduction is very significant.

We can’t wait to see DCVAX, Kat’s very own bespoke vaccine, take the final blow to destroy the remaining tumour cells once and for all.

Not only destroying them, but upgrading her immune system to attack them at every stage.

We got away for our first holiday this year at Wells Next to sea. Was a nice little break. Kat is going really well, So much so they are looking to reduce some of the other medications!


Kat's Cure
September 10 · Milton Keynes, United Kingdom ·
After the craziness of how this year started it's been amazing to have a summer of music and relaxing. Kats last scan showed a huge reduction and a second scan is booked in for next month. I'm sure you will join us in crossing everything possible!!!

Our Christmas Miracle! [post today]

We have been quiet over the last few months going through our journey with some highs and some lows.

Earlier this year we flew to Memphis in America for Kat to have Stem Cells removed for DCVAX. (Also managed to Pop to Sun Records!)

The parts of Kat's tumour which had been surgically removed in November 2015 had already been flown over and the team there managed to create all 11 treatments (3 years’ worth) of DCVAX.

For the last two months there has been a small flare in Kat's scans, however they suspect this could actually be a reaction to the immunotherapy (DCVAX) which is apparently common.

This “Mystery” flare is the only visible enhancement, meaning that there is no visible remains of kat’s tumour! All the old tumour is gone. Which is an amazing Christmas gift!

The DCVAX journey has been a crazy one, from your fund raising efforts and support, the team at DCVAX and here in the UK including the Brains Trust.

Now, one year in to the this chapter we can finally announce its all been worth it!

There is always hope, faith and there is always opportunity for miracles.

Have an amazing Christmas!
