Just my take. When Flaskworks is approved sometime in the future (don’t know when), you won’t need as many highly educated people to oversee DCVax-l manufacturing. Those highly educated people are still really valuable for Advent to retain, and their pathway to non-NWBO-dilutive locations, is important. JMHO.

I know this didn’t completely answer your question, but I think retention is a big consideration.

Sorry can someone explain this whole expansion/Unity campus thing to me and how it's relevant/good news?


From NW Bio's last 10Q:

Collaborations: Private Clinics.

As previously reported, the Company has been working over the last couple of years and during this year to develop certain clinical collaborations. These include joint efforts by the Company and Advent BioServices to establish collaborations with several private clinics in the U.K. The collaborations with private clinics are designed to achieve several goals. One goal is to establish dedicated leukapheresis units which will be available for NWBio patients at all times. This is quite important for scale-up of the numbers of patients who can be handled for NWBio’s treatments, because there is a country-wide shortage of leukapheresis capacity in the U.K.

Another goal of the clinic collaborations is to potentially be able to conduct clinical trials with these private clinics as trial sites and be able to treat compassionate use patients – patients with diverse types of solid tumors, in addition to patients with brain cancer. The joint efforts have now reached or are reaching fruition. A contract has been executed with one private clinic for a dedicated leukapheresis unit there, and the focus is now on arrangements for the medical personnel and training. A Letter of Intent has been completed with a second private clinic, and the full contract is in process, for both a dedicated leukapheresis unit and treatment of patients. Arrangements have been made with a third private clinic for treatment of patients, and the first such patient is in process.

The fact that NWBio is leasing space suggests that they have expansion plans, which could mean they are preparing for commercial production, clinical studies, etc.

Howard Group has signed two tenants for its science and technology hub in South Cambridge. Advent Bioservices and Northwest Biotherapeutics will share the ground floor of Cadence building at the Unity Campus.

It is the West section of the building that Northwest Biotherapeutics leased.
