Yes hyperopia, because of the new SAP and revised endpoint buy-in from all 4 regulatory authorities (RAs), Project Orbis makes the most sense. All the RA’s are already on the same page regarding DCVax-L, and the FDA has always been the lead RA in the DCVax-L trial, they are in the best position to lead this effort.

Because of Brexit, Project Orbis did not become effective in the UK until January 1, 2021. I believe that played a part in the delay in NWBio releasing DCVax-L TLD last year. I believe NWBio & the FDA wanted to make sure that the MHRA was included in the DCVax-L TLD review process.

Don’t get me wrong, I know that the UK (MHRA) is anxious for DCVAX-L approval, and Dr. Ashkan Keyoumars is a very big advocate & he was also the lead Principal Investigator (PI) in the EU, and Advent Bioservices is quickly building-out & ramping up for GMP licensing & commercial production.

But, Dr. Linda Liau (helped invent DCVax-L & was the PI for the entire trial), Dr. Prins & Dr. Cloughsey are also anxious to get DCVax-L approved in the US. Also, Cognate is already GMP licensed by the FDA, and already has production capacity to meet commercial demand for DCVax-L in the US & Canada.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, Bethesda Maryland (NWBio) is a lot closer to Washington DC (FDA) than it is to London England (MHRA). In fact, Bethesda is only about 7 miles from the FDA, compared to London being 3,674 miles away from the FDA.

Thanks for posting the article, hyperopia, and highlighting the stand out information. Excellent information and Project Orbis, and all its accompanying qualifiers, makes a great deal of sense to help speed an approval for DCVax-L upon submission. :)
