Basically NWBO investors were told they were waiting on the development of one technology - DCVax-L and then they are told and not really by the company directly but by surrogates, they have to also waited on another technology - automation - before they receive their reward.
While automating sounds good, rolling out a new technology NWBO grabbed out of the bargain basement bin is not something NWBO can do quickly or cheaply and what they saved on the front end by buying a fixer-upper they now have to pay back in time , not just money, to make it work.
It would be more humane to have had access since 2012. The status quo could care less about providing a safe treatment with obvious signal of effect to patients on a more limited basis. NWBO was faced with treating fewer patients early and many more later or many more just a little bit later than an earlier approval would be granted. Best wishes.
