Good question hankmanhub.

I had a conversation with Joel's mother about this. Her reply:

Joels frozen tumour was only big enough to make 4 vaccines. Some of his tumour had already been sent to Heidelberg for analysis as part of the ipilimumab clinical trial he was part of. So they could only make 4 although 5 were given in the clinical trial for DCVax. Prof Ashkan said that 3 is enough to reprogram the immune system and the other doses are maintenance doses. This treatment is really expensive and we have had to crowdfund for it as you know. It’s probably cost around £190000. We did explore the German option with IOZK but decided against it for various reasons.

Note: they started the crowdfund campaign in the summer of 2020, 1 year after his surgery..
