Northwest Biotherapeutics

Northwest Biotherapeutics (NWBT) is a biotechnology company focused on the clinical development of autologous immunotherapy products for cancer. Our technology platform, DCVax®, uses a patient’s own dendritic cells, the starter engine of the immune system, which are loaded with tumor proteins or antigens. Injection of these cells back into the patient initiates a potent immune response against cancer cells, resulting in delayed time to progression and prolonged survival. Our two lead product candidates, DCVax®-Prostate and DCVax®-Brain are entering FDA-allowed late stage clinical trials from which licensure is possible. Other, related products in our pipeline are ready to enter Phase I clinical trials. The advantage of our DCVax® platform is derived from: the high quality and purity of our DCVax® product candidates; our unique therapeutic approach in which immunotherapy is positioned as an adjuvant treatment in patients with low tumor burden; our proprietary, efficient, and low cost method of product manufacturing.
