John, any ideas re: which company they are talking about in the bolded section(mine)..fwiw, MD Anderson will be among my my first phone calls if I am diagnosed with the big C..although I think it highly unlikely that I will subject myself to chemo or the targeted therapies..been there, done that..either with my own childhood CA or my beloved's..

Glioblastoma

Another solid tumor -- one that is even more treacherous than melanoma -- appears to respond to a novel vaccine being developed and tested at M. D. Anderson.

This vaccine significantly increased life expectancy in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most dangerous type of brain tumor.

The results were so surprising that the trial was stopped before full accrual, and a pharmaceutical company acquired the rights to the drug.

A larger, multi- institutional, randomized study is being planned, says Amy Heimberger, M.D., an assistant professor of Neurosurgery who led the trial, conducted at both M. D. Anderson and at Duke University Medical Center.
