Its not meaningless. First of all, this is an official confirmation that DCVAXL is NOT dismissed off. Its incredibly likely that DCVACL will be approved otherwise, in contrary belief of the haters, NICE would not bother to be in discussion with NWBO. That is a fact. What is disappointing is that NWBO has confirmed that they are apparently still fully engaged with the MHRA. I wish that the feedback had said something like the manufacturer has confirmed that they are awaiting the decision from the MHRA.
The manufacturer has confirmed that it has submitted an application, and it is fully engaged with the Marketing Authorisation process.
NICE is in discussions with the manufacturer of DCVax-L about a potential appraisal, subject to licensing.
What I also like is that NWBO is IN discussions with NICE. That confirmation is good to hear.
