None of those are parameters for a rigorous trials. It’s all hearsay at this point. If Direct really did work the way they’re trying to spin it, then management should all be fired.
So, some 40 patients defied death and entered an unproven trial on a glimmer of hope. Three died before the treatment had time to work.
This (a small group of patients having a Lazarus effect or some other unusually outstanding benefit) happens in almost every phase 1 trial. It's one reason JANX is so hyped right now.
Learningcurve has the right of it. If NWBO management had as much confidence in DCVax-Direct as the longs on this board, they would have moved it forward (into a registrational trial) starting almost 10 years ago.
There is no strategic explanation to just keep going with the status quo while you're able to raise funds against a billion-dollar market cap for years and years. The simplest explanation is that NWBO management sees these phase 1 data for what they are: a neat signal of something promising.
It maybe news to you that Ph 1 is not designed or meant for efficacy and you can not claim efficacy based on Ph 1 trial . It is a well established fact.
