Please find below the transcript of Dr. Prin's presentation entitled "The Future of Vaccine Treatment in Brain Cancer by Robert Prins, MD" from his March 28, 2016 video with the Seattle Science Foundation.
I start it in the 8th minute... simply because that's where he first mentions Northwest and gets into the P3 Trial. I had posted a portion of this a few weeks ago, but it was buried in a post where I responded to a fellow poster and perhaps some didn't get a chance to read this. That portion took us up to the point where Dr. Prins speaks of the upcoming partnership of DCVax with one or both of the Big Pharma companies... Bristol Meyers Squibb (BMY) and/or Merck.
Here is the first section that I'd posted (for those that already read or grabbed it for the files):
Sounds as if this trial will at least focus on recurrent GBM, as it seems that it is when the tumor is already progressive, that it will benefit from the CI blocking the PD-1 or PDL-1 will help the T-cells, which are already there from DCVax, work.
Here is the next portion of the transcription... taking you through to the 26th minute...
Here's a link to a synopsis of an article published in Science back in May 2015 that seems relevant to these past few paragraphs of Dr. Prins' presentation. You have to have a subscription to view the entire abstract. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/348/6236/803
And finally, here is the rest of the transcription of Dr. Prins' presentation...
I think that Dr. Prins' conclusions offer us a glimpse as to what is might be involved in the P3 from behind the scenes, as well as and will be happening in the near future. It's obvious he believes immunotherapy will be relevant for GBM in the near future. And as many of us have somewhat figured out here, that while L may be relevant for some patients in the near future (perhaps mesenchymal, pseudo progressors), it may not be as relevant, or at all relevant for all GBM patients. And for those patients, these academics are hoping that a combination trial will make it relevant for them as well.
And finally, targeting the patient-specific neoantigens, and using a dendritic cell vaccine to deliver them will possibly ultimately prove to go further than simply extending life for these GBM patients, it may possibly make them immune to it's return. And who can manufacture a tumor lysate pulsed dendritic cell vaccine in significant quantities?
Why NWBO (along with their pal Cognate).
Hopefully we will be given... sooner rather than later... more than a glimpse of what's going on. In the meantime, you may want to consider buying at these amazingly low share prices while you still can.
