NorthWest Biotherapeutics Inc (NWBO)

[TZOR]

The Company has received a letter from the staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Nasdaq Staff reviewed certain stock issuances by the Company to Cognate, and determined that those issuances did not comply with Nasdaq rules 5635(c) and (d), as described in a Form 8-K being filed by the Company today. The Company is currently in discussions with the Nasdaq Staff about two potential approaches to remedy the non-compliance with these rules, and the Company intends to take the appropriate steps to address the issues raised by the Nasdaq Staff as quickly as possible.

After a quick search the NASDAQ rules mentioned pertain to equity compensation and private placements.

My favorite part of the press release is this part

The Company has received updated data from the ongoing follow-up of patients in the Phase I portion of the DCVax-Direct trial. To date, 20 of the 40 patients have exceeded 12 months overall survival ("OS"), 13 of the 40 patients exceed 18 months OS, at least 10 of those 13 patients (with 2 of the 13 currently unknown) are still alive at OS times up to 29 months to date, with the majority having exceeded 20 months.

I bet those patients are quite happy about NWBO
