The DCVax vaccine is
a personalized cancer
treatment that uses a
patient's own tumor cells.Banking on Success: Keeping Tumor Tissue for =
Use in Cancer Treatment
May 13, 2010
by Heather Mayer, DOTmed Staff Reporter

When Robert Gibbs, 41, was diagnosed with a Grade 2 brain tumor in 2004, =
he didn't have many treatment options other than the traditional =
chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. But unfortunately for Gibbs, his =
2005 surgery didn't completely wipe out the cancer, and in 2008 it was =
back.=20

"I had everything going for me," he said. "And it all came to a =
screeching halt."=20

His second surgery left him legally blind and searching for a better =
treatment option. It was then he turned to a clinical trial testing a =
tumor vaccine called DCVax.=20

"Other than being legally blind due to the tumor, I'm going through no =
other treatment," Gibbs, now six years cancer-free, told DOTmed News. =
"[The vaccine] works."=20

The DCVax is a personalized cancer treatment that uses a patient's own =
tumor cells, after surgery, to fight off remaining cancers, working like =
any other vaccine, explained Linda Powers, chair of the Northwest =
Biotherapeutics board, which manufacturers the vaccine.=20

"We found, although heartbreaking, a lot of patients are getting in =
touch with Northwest after the tumor tissue was thrown away," Powers =
said of patients trying to participate in the company's third clinical =
trial, currently underway.=20

Gibbs and his wife, Barb, co-founded the Florida-based national =
organization, Miles for Hope, in order to raise money for brain cancer =
research and to help spread the word about banking tumor tissue, which =
can be used in a treatment vaccine. The organization also helps people =
access clinical trials, which could save their lives, as it did for =
Gibbs.=20

"If it wasn't for family or friends with frequent flyer miles, we may =
not have opted to participate [in the trial]," he said. "[Miles for =
Hope] makes sure people have access to cutting-edge treatment to save =
lives."=20

PERSONALIZED THERAPY=20

Northwest Biotherapeutics, is not the first to come out with a =
personalized cancer vaccine. Dendreon was the first company to get FDA =
approval to commercially market a personalized vaccine for prostate =
cancer last month. But Northwest Biotherapeutics is following the trend =
of immune-system-based treatments.=20

Unlike Dendreon, Northwest Biotherapeutics uses individual patient =
tissue as opposed to a tumor-specific antigen, making DCVax even more =
personalized, explained Linda Liau, vice chair of neurosurgery at UCLA =
and the trial's lead researcher.=20

"Everyone has written off immune therapies," said Powers. "Finally, =
after all this time, the research community has continued to work on =
understanding the biology...Dendreon had FDA approval for immune =
therapy. There will be a flood of more immune therapies."=20

he DCVax, which is in its third stage of clinical trials, sends a =
message to the entire immune system to fight remaining tumor cells, =
literally picking up the pieces of the tumor not removed through =
surgery.=20

Researchers found that the immune system could fight off everyday =
infections -- influenza, colds, pneumonia -- but it was obviously =
succumbing to a tumor. What they discovered was that the dendritic cells =
or the "generals" of the immune system, as Powers explained, were not =
getting the message to fight off the malignant tumor.=20

"The immune system is keeping you healthy other than your cancer," =
Powers said. "That's the perplexing thing. Why is it not doing the job =
on cancer?"=20

"The problem in the body is not a lack of dendritic cells," she said. =
"It's that they're sitting around on a battlefield not receiving orders. =
The signals are not getting through. Tumors have a variety of ways of =
blocking signals."=20

The vaccine not only tells the dendritic cells to shift out of =
surveillance and into attack mode, it also provides the immune system =
with the biomarkers of the tumor, which come from the patient's tumor =
tissue. This tells the cells what they need to attack.=20

Once these signals are received, "they go right to work," Powers =
explained. "They do their normal job in a normal way."=20

What differentiates this type of cancer treatment from traditional =
methods like radiation and chemotherapy is the vaccine merely restores =
the natural function of the immune system, which has been interfered =
with by the tumor. There are no chemicals or drugs involved, eradicating =
the severe side effects from traditional cancer treatments.=20

"It works like a regular vaccine," Gibbs said. "What makes it different =
is that it's patient-specific. There's no rejection [from the body] and =
no toxic side effects."=20

The only reported side effects have been fever, skin irritation at the =
injection site, fatigue -- side effects similar to any vaccine, said =
Liau.=20

While hundreds of clinical trials have not reported toxicity with =
dendritic treatment, Liau pointed out that there is always a possibility =
of seeing side effects later on, especially with an autoimmune response. =


"When you induce the immune response against its own tumor, the concern =
is the risk that you can over-activate it against its own normal =
tissue," she said. "We haven't seen that...The thought is that tumor =
tissue is so different from a patient's own normal brain tissue that the =
immune system can differentiate [the two.]"=20

Northwest Biotherapeutics has reported from previous trials that =
patients who received standard treatment in addition to the vaccine =
lived, on average, 36 months after diagnosis, compared with just 14 to =
16 months for those who did not receive the vaccine.=20
Currently, more than 20 percent of patients reached the six-year mark or =
more, said Powers.=20

"With conventional treatment -- surgery, radiation, chemotherapy -- no =
one makes it to six years," she said.=20

But because the vaccine is still in clinical trial, patients also must =
go through traditional treatments, Powers said.=20

"You have to give standard of care," she said. "If something is =
experimental, it can only be additional."=20

TUMOR BANKING=20

What makes the DCVax vaccine possible is the utilization of a patient's =
tumor tissue and blood sample. In order for the vaccine to be created, =
patients need to store their tumor tissue after surgical removal in a =
tissue bank, not unlike an umbilical cord bank or blood bank.=20

After surgery, hospitals collect a small sample of the tumor for their =
archives, but that does not belong to the patient, explained Powers.=20

"Hospitals only store a small sample," she said. "Today, the rest gets =
thrown into the trash can," which makes a vaccine treatment impossible.=20

"Once tissue is out of the patient and the hospital takes a sample, =
that's it," she said. "Patients can't access it. Who does it belong to? =
Who gets to use it? Not the patient."=20

For this reason, HealthBank, a bio banking company, recently announced =
that it will store tumor tissue. According to HealthBank, the initial =
process of freezing a patient's tumor tissue and the first year of =
storage costs $1,995. After the first year, it costs $195 per year of =
storage.=20

In order for a patient to store his or her tissue, arrangements are made =
prior to surgery to put together a kit, which is delivered to =
HealthBank, or a similar storage bank, like Wake Forest University =
Baptist Medical Center or Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute, and then =
delivered to a doctor or clinic where the tissue will be used for =
treatments, like personalized vaccines.=20

But tissue banking offers more opportunities than just personalized =
medicine. Researchers can genetically profile a patient's tumor, which =
can evaluate the cancer and its prognosis. This allows doctors and =
researchers to cater treatment to a specific patient.=20

Another promising possibility of tissue banking is chemo-sensitivity =
testing, which can help identify which drugs the tumor will respond to. =
This allows patients to avoid unnecessary chemotherapy treatments.=20

"With chemo-sensitivity testing, you can test a particular drug regimen =
directly in a lab dish and learn what works the best," said Powers. =
"Most cancer drugs only work, clinical research has shown, in 25 to 30 =
percent of patients, but all of the patients get the toxicity. Instead =
of finding out the hard way, you can start to find out with =
chemo-sensitivity testing."=20
A WONDER DRUG?=20

Cancer experts aren't dubbing the investigational personalized vaccine =
the wonder drug just yet. In fact, it may never be used on its own as a =
cancer treatment, said William Chambers, director of clinical research =
and immunology at the American Cancer Society.=20

"I would hesitate to call it the wonder drug," he told DOTmed News. =
"They've done a really great job, and let's continue to look and see =
where it goes from here."=20

Chambers pointed out that the researchers were smart to include =
vaccination as a part of treatment for brain tumors. The vaccine is a =
good way to attack certain elements of the tumor that are hard to get to =
through surgery or chemotherapy.=20

But ultimately, a multiple-strategy approach is best, said Chambers.=20

"With most tumors, it's a pretty good idea to have a one, two ... three =
punch because of the ability of tumors to change," he said.=20

COST OF LIFE=20

Because Gibbs was part of a clinical trial, his treatment has been =
completely free, barring travel costs. Powers was unable to disclose how =
much vaccine manufacturing costs Northwest Biotherapeutics, but she said =
it's very affordable.=20

"Our pricing will be dramatically lower than pricing that Dendreon =
announced," she said.=20

Dendreon charges $31,000 per infusion; a full-course treatment includes =
three infusions over the course of one month.=20

She also pointed out that analyses indicate the vaccine will fall "well =
within the zone for reimbursement."=20

While the widely held belief is that personalized medicine is extremely =
expensive, Powers explained that for each patient, Northwest =
Biotherapeutics can manufacture three years worth of vaccination, making =
the process cost-effective, similar to mass manufacture of prescription =
pills.=20

"The concept is, the manufacturing itself is really expensive because =
it's personalized," she said. "But storage is cheap. Northwest makes the =
biggest batch it can make from a quantity of tissue and freezes it in =
single doses. After that, it's cheap; it turns into an off-the-shelf =
product."=20

Patients in the trial receive a vaccination every couple of weeks =
starting six weeks after surgery. The dose administration is reduced to =
every couple of months and then twice a year until the product runs out. =


"The amount of tissue is the limiting factor," Powers said.=20

Northwest Biotherapeutics will be able to ever further lessen its costs =
by making the process completely automated. Currently, the FDA has =
approved partial automation for the company, Powers said.=20

"Costs are already manageable to charge less than current antibodies =
that are not personalized," she said.=20
But when it comes to the patient, this vaccine would be covered by =
insurance.=20

MOVING FORWARD=20

Due to FDA policy, clinical testing for drug treatments can focus on =
only one disease at a time. In the case of DCVax, it is only being =
tested on brain cancer, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work on other =
cancers, explained Powers.=20

"It should work on any type of cancer," she said. "We're just restoring =
the natural function of the immune system."=20

The patients in the Northwest Biotherapeutics trials, which started =
about 10 years ago, all had Grade 4 tumors, with a few Grade 3 =
exceptions like the reappearance of Gibbs' condition. If approved for =
commercial sale, DCVax would only be for Grade 4 tumors, explained Liau. =


"It's up to the FDA, what they feel is safe," she said. "Scientifically =
there is not a huge reason to think it wouldn't also be applicable [to =
lower-grade tumors]."=20

A successful personalized cancer vaccine blows the door wide open for =
personalized medicine and immune therapies, said Liau.=20

"If we're able to show efficacy, I think it really does help to =
transition the concept of personal medicine into reality," she said. =
"One reason we don't have a cure for cancer yet is because not every =
cancer is the same. There's not going to be one drug for all types of =
brain cancer."=20

promising=20
possibility of tissue banking is chemo-sensitivity testing, which can =
help=20
identify which drugs the tumor will respond to. This allows patients to =
avoid=20
unnecessary chemotherapy treatments. <BR><BR>"With chemo-sensitivity =
testing,=20
you can test a particular drug regimen directly in a lab dish and learn =
what=20
works the best," said Powers. "Most cancer drugs only work, clinical =
research=20
has shown, in 25 to 30 percent of patients, but all of the patients get =
the=20
toxicity. Instead of finding out the hard way, you can start to find out =
with=20
chemo-sensitivity testing." <BR>A WONDER DRUG? <BR><BR>Cancer experts =
aren't=20
dubbing the investigational personalized vaccine the wonder drug just =
yet. In=20
fact, it may never be used on its own as a cancer treatment, said =
William=20
Chambers, director of clinical research and immunology at the American =
Cancer=20
Society. <BR></FONT><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial><BR>"I would hesitate to =
call it the=20
wonder drug," he told DOTmed News. "They've done a really great job, and =
let's=20
continue to look and see where it goes from here." <BR><BR>Chambers =
pointed out=20
that the researchers were smart to include vaccination as a part of =
treatment=20
for brain tumors. The vaccine is a good way to attack certain elements =
of the=20
tumor that are hard to get to through surgery or chemotherapy. =
<BR><BR>But=20
ultimately, a multiple-strategy approach is best, said Chambers. =
<BR><BR>"With=20
most tumors, it's a pretty good idea to have a one, two ... three punch =
because=20
of the ability of tumors to change," he said. <BR><BR>COST OF LIFE=20
<BR><BR>Because Gibbs was part of a clinical trial, his treatment has =
been=20
completely free, barring travel costs. Powers was unable to disclose how =
much=20
vaccine manufacturing costs Northwest Biotherapeutics, but she said it's =
very=20
affordable. <BR><BR>"Our pricing will be dramatically lower than pricing =
that=20
Dendreon announced," she said. <BR><BR>Dendreon charges $31,000 per =
infusion; a=20
full-course treatment includes three infusions over the course of one =
month.=20
<BR><BR>She also pointed out that analyses indicate the vaccine will =
fall "well=20
within the zone for reimbursement." <BR><BR>While the widely held belief =
is that=20
personalized medicine is extremely expensive, Powers explained that for =
each=20
patient, Northwest Biotherapeutics can manufacture three years worth of=20
vaccination, making the process cost-effective, similar to mass =
manufacture of=20
prescription pills. <BR><BR>"The concept is, the manufacturing itself is =
really=20
expensive because it's personalized," she said. "But storage is cheap. =
Northwest=20
makes the biggest batch it can make from a quantity of tissue and =
freezes it in=20
single doses. After that, it's cheap; it turns into an off-the-shelf =
product."=20
<BR><BR>Patients in the trial receive a vaccination every couple of =
weeks=20
starting six weeks after surgery. The dose administration is reduced to =
every=20
couple of months and then twice a year until the product runs out. =
<BR><BR>"The=20
amount of tissue is the limiting factor," Powers said. <BR><BR>Northwest =

Biotherapeutics will be able to ever further lessen its costs by making =
the=20
process completely automated. Currently, the FDA has approved partial =
automation=20
for the company, Powers said. <BR><BR>"Costs are already manageable to =
charge=20
less than current antibodies that are not personalized," she said. =
<BR>But when=20
it comes to the patient, this vaccine would be covered by insurance.=20
<BR><BR>MOVING FORWARD <BR></FONT><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial><BR>Due to =
FDA policy,=20
clinical testing for drug treatments can focus on only one disease at a =
time. In=20
the case of DCVax, it is only being tested on brain cancer, but that =
doesn't=20
mean it wouldn't work on other cancers, explained Powers. <BR><BR>"It =
should=20
work on any type of cancer," she said. "We're just restoring the natural =

function of the immune system." <BR><BR>The patients in the Northwest=20
Biotherapeutics trials, which started about 10 years ago, all had Grade =
4=20
tumors, with a few Grade 3 exceptions like the reappearance of Gibbs' =
condition.=20
If approved for commercial sale, DCVax would only be for Grade 4 tumors, =

explained Liau. <BR><BR>"It's up to the FDA, what they feel is safe," =
she said.=20
"Scientifically there is not a huge reason to think it wouldn't also be=20
applicable [to lower-grade tumors]." <BR><BR>A successful personalized =
cancer=20
vaccine blows the door wide open for personalized medicine and immune =
therapies,=20
said Liau. <BR><BR>"If we're able to show efficacy, I think it really =
does help=20
to transition the concept of personal medicine into reality," she said. =
"One=20
reason we don't have a cure for cancer yet is because not every cancer =
is the=20
same. There's not going to be one drug for all types of brain cancer."=20
