Fireman - That's a very valid question, and an area that others here may have better answers to. Rafreed's reply is pretty reasonable imo. The company has been at this so long, even outside the conventional timelines, that it's not unlikely, but rather more than likely, that we see an expedited approval. I'm going to offer a different angle on this one, which harkens back to the disasterous blow to the FDA'S credibility has taken over it's handling of Covid. IMO, the FDA desperately needs a credibility infusion, a win if you will. It's been over 20 years with the same SOC. Yeah, I understand and believe that the FDA creates that environment to allow the money machines to keep going. But this treatment, perhaps more than any is exactly what they need to push through to justify the agency's existence. Plus, the FDA'S own Oncology Director used DCVax as the model blueprint for how the agency wants to review trial designs going forward. We know that a company of 30 people or so is not designed to function as a full blown pharma company.
The plan has always been to build out a successful treatment on all fronts and sell when the offer is too good to refuse. I trust LP has the gaming skills to have survived so many years against all odds, that the suitors should understand that she's not going to take anything out of desperation. The next six months max, we should see a conclusion to all this.
JMHO
