Northwest Biotherapeutics: Putting Recent Clinical Data on DCVax Direct in Perspective (NWBO, Buy, $5.37)
Immuno-oncology is one of the most exciting areas for cancer research and cancer vaccines should be considered as a promising research area within immuno-oncology. Cancer vaccines might have been expected to produce great investor interest, but a long string of clinical trial failures over the last decade has made investors cautious or skeptical.

In my opinion, management will only make this decision if the FDA agrees under a Special Protocol Assessment that a new primary endpoint of slow vital capacity, SVC, can be used. […]
