Poly-ICLC + pembrolizumab combination has nothing to do with NWBO... That is ATL DC, UCLA's vax
It's also a small phase 2 trial that is nowhere near a phase 3 trial.
DCVax was only tested as an adjuvant to SOC, you can't just make stuff up and regulators don't approve major cancer therapies to rescue people like you that have been buried in an OTC stock. Just sayin'... But dream all you want.

In the U.S.:

Definition:
The standard of care is generally defined as “the level and type of care that a reasonably competent and skilled health care professional, with a similar background and in the same medical community, would have provided under the same or similar circumstances.”

Legal Standing:
Unlike the UK, there is no single codified document or government-issued SOC in the U.S. Instead, it is a legal concept used in malpractice litigation. Courts rely on expert testimony, medical guidelines, and professional consensus to determine what the SOC was in a given case.
• Sources of SOC:
• Peer-reviewed medical literature
• Specialty society guidelines (e.g., American Society of Clinical Oncology, American Heart Association)
• FDA-approved labeling and accepted treatment protocols
• Expert witness testimony in court
• Common clinical practice patterns

OR just go to the NCCN guidelines
