From Northwest PR: https://www.nwbio.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/press2012.04.12.pdf “We are pleased to be leading the way in bringing these novel immune therapies to patients in the UK,” commented Dr. Keyoumars Ashkan, Consultant (i.e., Specialist) Neurosurgeon, Reader (Associate Professor) in Neurosurgery and Lead for Neuro-Oncology at King’s College Hospital. “Brain cancers are some of the most lethal cancers, and there is a great need for new and better treatments. The positive data from the Phase I clinical trials in the U.S. were very encouraging in delaying disease progression and extending survival times, without significant toxic side effects. We are hopeful that similar results will be seen in the large, randomized clinical trial which we are now helping to bring to the UK.”
Farzin Farzaneh, Professor of Molecular Medicine and head of cGMP cell product manufacturing at King’s College London, said: “At King’s, we are excited to be undertaking the manufacturing for the DCVax® immune therapies in the UK. Such immune therapies represent an exciting new class of products, and we are pleased to apply our expertise and facilities for cell therapy to help bring DCVax® immune therapies to the UK and Europe.”
