I've been waiting to post this comment until the JAMA publication has had ample time to circulate through the world's media outlets. AND my comment is that Northwest Biotherapeutics' leadership under the direction of CEO Linda Powers combined with medical teams under the leadership of Dr. Linda Liau, Dr. Keymours Ashkan and a host of world renowned neurosurgeons have managed to accomplish the impossible by completing the first successful clinical trial for treating nGBM and rGBM in 27 years and in so doing, introduce the world to the "New Age of Immunotherapy" for our future of treating all large tumor cancers, possibly cancers of all kinds and possibly all deseases facing humankind !!! As a result, these accomplishments were confirmed by the most prestigious medical journal in the world, but as of yet, have failed to be recognized by the world's financial leadership in a meaningful way that will allow the company to accelerate the advancement of its technology and speed delivery of its discovery/treatment to all the patients in need that are depending on our healthcare systems for HELP.
So ask yourself," WHY IS THAT???" The answer is simple. When changing SOC in any healthcare system, the providers of the myriad of healthcare products will experience significant financial disruptions as their current products are eliminated and replaced with new treatments. When disruptions occur, financial opportunities appear, not only for the providers of these new treatments, but also for those that would attempt to delay and prevent these changes in the SOC. Those forces are betting that "Fear and Doubt" will overpower "PROMISE and HOPE" !!! To prevent that from happening requires a financial system with enforceable regulations designed to prevent illegal trading practices and whose regulators are committed to ensuring the greater good for public welfare/healthcare !!!
The discovery of the DCVax-L and subsequent combination therapies and all those responsible for this great gift to humanity are at the cross roads of hard work and opportunity, which defines success and are depending on a financial system that promises and rewards success with financial gain to continue to build on those successes AND that very system itself is at the crossroads of GOOD vs EVIL of LEGAL vs ILLEGAL, SOCIAL CONSCIENCE and SOCIAL NEGLECT, the outcome of which is entirely dependent on the regulators of the system that promises a level and balanced playing field in the pursuit of the dream of delivering new innovations in healthcare to those in desperate need of treatment !!!
You don't need me to tell you what to do!! You know what to do!!! Let your voice be heard so that those who depend on us will receive the help they need!!!
Cheers,
BB
