Hi Anne, my husband was dx w/ a #GBM in May 2022. I'm confused by how you did a GBM story w/o discussing the most significant development ever for brain tumors.

Please follow up with #UCLA & #NWBO #DCVAX. Completed P3 last May, approved for UK Specials already &

is a personalized, nontoxic vaccine. It has given patients w/ a 10-18 month prognosis 9, 12, 16, 20+ years & counting with no addtl treatment.

My husband is a 52 yo firefighter and we are counting on #DCVAX to save his life. He doesn't have time for the treatment you covered
2/
This vaccine was created in the US and UK will have full approval before the US, forcing US patients like @Clairotonin, a 36 yo ICU nurse who desperately needs it, to try to get to the UK at a cost of $300k

We need #DCVAX approved by @US_FDA for compassionate use ASAP and

While I'm glad you covered #GBM tumors, you missed the headline. Instead of sharing the incredible successes of #NWBO #DCVAX and how many patients have gone 9, 12, 16, 21 years and counting w/ no addtl treatment, you focused on a Phase 2.

1/
Phase 3 was presented last May. JAMA included in their journal and 60 top docs signed on. Plus the combo trial with Keytruda and Poly-ICLC is incredible.

#DCVAX is helping people NOW. It was created at UCLA and trials were conducted in the UK, CANADA, and GERMANY too.

2/
The UK has already approved for Private Pay/ Compassionate Use and full approval should be soon.

As the wife of a #GBM patient who lost her father-in-law to this horrid disease 22 years ago, I wish you would've included the most hopeful and current option, #DCVAX.

Patients with #glioma often experience altered cognition but it was unknown whether tumors remodel or destroy neuronal circuits in the human brain. New, open access #CancerNeuroscience paper: nature.com/articles/s4158….
In our study led by talented @NeurosurgUCSF post doc @SarithaKrishnaa and collaborators @michelle_monje, @DavidJBrang @LabRaleigh @AnnetteMolinar2, we found that glioblastomas remodel circuits.
Intraoperative recordings in awake people with left hemisphere #GBM show us that speech production activates glioma-infiltrated cortex, and GBM remodels speech circuitry so that producing speech activates all of the glioma-infiltrated cortex.

Gene Expression Profile Correlates with T-Cell Infiltration and Relative Survival in Glioblastoma Patients Vaccinated with Dendritic Cell Immunotherapy from 2011, #DCVaxL with #PolyICLC #Glioblastoma #GBM

aacrjournals.org/clincancerres/…
#DCVaxL & #PolyICLC #TLR3Inhibitor as adjuvant, have been an impressive combination since 2011:

Results: DC vaccinations are safe and not associated with any dose-limiting toxicity.
The median overall survival from the time of initial surgical diagnosis of glioblastoma was 31.4 months, with a 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rate of 91%, 55%, and 47%, respectively.

1/ Re $NWBO and #DCVaxL aka "ATL-DC" in brief:

#DrLindaLiau, principal investigator for a Phase 3 #DCVaxL trial recently gave a lecture covering the #DCVaxLComboTrial with #Keytruda.
2/ $NWBO and UCLA have a patent application pending approval for immunotherapy combinations with #DCVaxL.
3/ The #DCVaxLComboTrial appears to be intended to further the patent process and also to likely advance new commercial opportunities, including potential partnerships, for $NWBO. Many commentators have suggested some obvious potential partners.

Proud of this @NatureMedicine collaboration with #FeedmanLab on a novel method detecting early stage RCC in plasma&urine w/cell-free DNA methylomes. Work led by super stars @PierVitaleNuzzo @Jberchuck @keegankorthauer #SandorSpisak
1/ RCC kills 175,000 patients worldwide with no screening test available acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.33….
A screening test that detects RCC while still localized (2/3 RCCs) will possibly reduce mortality. RCC and CNS tumors do not shed much cfDNA in the blood!
2/ Developed initially by @decarvalho_lab (co-senior author), we validated this ultra-sensitive cfMeDIP-seq using plasma cfDNA and, for the 1st time, cfDNA from urine samples collected in our #GelbCenter (Chair M. Pomerantz)
