In my view, acquiring the Roswell commercial license may be just as significant as the UCLA DCVax-L license…
The two most relevant aspects of NWBO’s prospective value are:
⭐️ Combos with other agents that are already commercialized worldwide. (For one example, consider how the global commercial success of PD-1 blockade technology may impact dendritic cell platforms!) 🤔
⭐️ Multiple Patent-Fortified DC Platforms
Moffitt has interesting connections to Roswell and the two are collaborating on at least one active clinical trial today. At a minimum, Moffitt’s work has provided solid proof of concept for the value/need for DC technology in oncology, and I think we may soon learn more about the relationship between Moffitt and Roswell in the context of NWBO.
It is great to see the collaborative/cooperative efforts that have advanced DC technology from the Steinman era into a new era of combo therapies. NCI-designated cancer centers and multiple government agencies have worked together in developing dendritic cell-based platform technologies, which are now beginning to demonstrate efficacy in combo with established therapies that are already successful in the expanding global immunotherapy market.
Just a week after giving birth, Dallas Carroll was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Now, an experimental dendritic cell vaccine is giving her a shot at a cure—proof that innovative treatments are saving lives.

Intratumoral delivery of dendritic cells combined with anti-HER2 antibodies is safe and effective in altering the tumor microenvironment and inducing dramatic tumor regression prior to chemotherapy in early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. https://t.co/QgI6ZQfgtqpic.twitter.com/kLMjIDjwXj
