Sharpie, you’ve absolutely nailed it! NWBO is going for recurrent GBM within this nGBM trial! This is based on the secondary endpoint.
I suggested years ago that the company would have enough info between this trial and the Expanded access protocol, which has its own clinical trial, to go after rGBM, but my idea got knocked down by posters because it wasn’t in the trial to go after rGBM. Well, now it is!
I suspect this is why Linda created a separate clinical trial for those who had failed to make it into the main trial. These are the patients who progressed before they could get on DCVaxL, which takes about 3 months after surgery, and those who were possibly so quick to respond to the vaccine that they looked like early progressors, but were possibly actually pseudoprogressors.
This opens up a huge new area of treatment and profit if this endpoint is approved by any of the 4 regulators.
Yes, the confirmed PFS are the adjudicated cases.
The third secondary appears to be the original PFS endpoint. It’s actually good to see that still assessed.
