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.

This diagnosis sucks the air out of the room and when people Google #GBM, the info they find is awful. The prognosis generally is 10-18 months. Several factors impact that including if it's operable, methylation, IDH factor. But there has always been no hope.

4/

We found out about #NWBO #DCVAX 2 days after my husband's diagnosis. We are urging the @US_FDA to approve this nontoxic personalized cancer vaccine.

If you're serious about sharing the best info, reach out to @ThomasOwenMcCa1 who rec'd it 9 years ago.

This is real hope now.
