Patients In Trial Continuing To Be Treated Per Protocol, Including In Germany
August 21, 2015: 03:22 PM ET
BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ: NWBO) ("NW Bio"), a U.S. biotechnology company developing DCVax® personalized immune therapies for solid tumor cancers, confirmed today that its Phase III trial of DCVax®-L for newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is ongoing and the patients enrolled in the trial are continuing to be treated per the protocol.
Over 300 patients have been recruited for the trial. The total anticipated enrollment is 348 patients.
The only change in status of the trial is that new screening of patient candidates for the trial has been temporarily suspended while the Company submits certain information from the trial for regulatory review.
Such screening involves the initial evaluation of patient candidates to determine whether they meet eligibility criteria for the trial (e.g., whether they are within the eligible age range, do not have certain viral diseases, etc.)
Some blogs and social media comments have noted that the EudraCT trials database in Europe states that there is a "Temporary Halt" of the trial in Germany. In actuality, the trial status in Germany is that the trial is ongoing as noted above, and the Company has only undertaken a temporary suspension of new screening.
The Company has sought to have the EudraCT listing corrected, but the database includes only certain pre-specified categories and there is no category that corresponds to a temporary suspension of new screening only, while a trial is ongoing.
The Company is in the process of preparing the trial information for regulatory review and anticipates submission within the next couple of weeks.
