    Best Cancer Vaccine? Answer May Surprise Investors.
    According to a newly published report, Northwest Biotherapeutics' (OTCBB: NWBO) DCVax® may be poised to surpass Dendreon's product in the field of vaccine based cancer treatments. Speculators have begun to rush back to pick up shares of NWBO just as sector darling Dendreon Corporation has seen its shares lose 44% of their value after news that Dendreon can only make enough of their recently approved prostate cancer drug to treat about 2% of eligible patients.

    In a featured article today, BioMedReports lists several reasons for the rise of DCVax®.

    First factor: The quality and characteristics of the antigens used by both companies in their vaccines

    What matters here according to representatives at NWBO is Dendreon's target antigen is not expressed on all prostrate cancers. They have to screen their patients to see the expression of their target. NWBO's target antigen is expressed on all prostrate cancers. Additionally, with Dendreon's target, the level of expression goes down as the cancer progresses. The level of expression on NWBO's target goes up as the cancer progresses. As we learned from NWBO's Chairman Linda Powers, if your target is getting harder and harder for the vaccine to find and hit as the cancer progresses, that's not the characteristic you want in your target antigen.

    Another difference in the target antigens is NWBO's target is bound to the membrane of the tumor cell. "If the DCVax® hits our target," explains Linda Powers. "It hits the cell for sure. Dendreon's target is secreted by the cell, so while the target is close by, it is not necessarily bound to the cell in every instance. Antibodies can come along and glom onto to the target and not hit the cell itself, which means accuracy is an issue."

    Second factor: The manufacturing and purity of the product

    The active ingredient in both companies' vaccines is dendritic cells. That is an active pharmaceutical ingredient, it's the active agent that's doing the job. But according to data provided by Northwest Biotherapeutics, the percentage composition of Dendreon's product by the company's own published material is 15% antigen presenting cells -- dendritic cells and others. According to NWBO's published material, DCVax® is over 80% active ingredient. The official product release criteria are over 80% and Northwest Biotherapeutics' platform usually hits over 90%, thus the active ingredient in NWBO's vaccine is much more concentrated.

    Third factor: How is the product administered to the patient

    According to Powers, because there is such a low percentage of active ingredient in Dendreon's vaccine, they have to deliver a huge volume, and the only way to do it is intravenous infusion, which is how they deliver Provenge to their patients.

    This IV delivery can take over an hour. By contrast, because the active ingredient is so concentrated in the DCVax® vaccine, that NWBO only needs to administer a tiny volume of "just a few drops" and it's administered with a simple injection under the skin, like a flu shot or an insulin shot.

    Woodford will purchase $30 million of the Company's common stock at $5.50 per share, for a total of 5,454,545 shares, raising Woodford's total holdings to 25,915,937 shares, or about 28.1% of the Company. The purchase will take place in a closing on or before October 22, 2015.

    In connection with this financing, the Company has issued 0.7 million shares to Cognate BioServices on the same terms as Woodford's stock purchase, for certain current payment obligations, as well as completing the issuance of shares to Cognate that were approved and reported in November 2014, but had not yet been issued.

    "NW Bio has reported encouraging interim clinical data from both its DCVax-L and DCVax-Direct clinical programs, both last spring and recently, with patient survival exceeding expectations. With this new funding from Woodford we look forward to moving these clinical programs ahead vigorously while continuing to build our organization" commented Linda Powers, CEO of NW Bio.

Neither the Company nor any party other than the independent statisticians will have access to any unblinded data at this stage.

    The statisticians will proceed as quickly as possible with analyses of the raw data and prepare summaries of the Trial results for review by the Company, the Principal Investigator, the Steering Committee of the Trial, the Scientific Advisory Board, and a panel of independent brain cancer experts, who will analyze the data with the statisticians in preparation for public announcement and scientific publication.

    "We are excited to be so close to the finish line now, after such a long road" commented Linda Powers, the Company's CEO. "We are hopeful that DCVax®-L can become an important new treatment option for patients who urgently need more and better treatments for Glioblastoma brain cancer."
