New York, New York

Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities law firm, announces that it is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of investors of Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NWBO) (“Northwest” or the “Company”) resulting from allegations that Northwest may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

On June 19, 2014, a report published by the website TheStreet.com stated that, “The prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center issued a stern rebuke to Northwest Biotherapeutics (NWBO) for making promotional, unjustified claims about results from an ongoing clinical trial of an experimental cancer vaccine known as DCVax-Direct.” MD Anderson Cancer Center is running the DCVax-Direct clinical trial with funding from Northwest Biotherapeutics. On this news, shares of Northwest fell $0.87 per share to $8.04, or more than 10.37%, in intraday trading on June 19, 2014.

On July 7, 2014, a report published by the seekingalpha.com website stated that, “Northwest Bio has been the subject of a massive promotional campaign which has seen the stock price soar.” And, “in some cases, authors have used fictitious identities and fake credentials within healthcare or finance. In fact they are simply paid writers.” On this news, shares of Northwest fell $0.52 per share to $6.62, or more than 7.28%, in intraday trading on July 7, 2014.

On August 21, 2015, pre-market, news broke that the Company’s Phase 3 DCVax-L brain cancer treatment clinical trial in Germany was temporarily halted. A reason is yet to be provided, and Northwest is yet to address the issue publicly. On this news, Northwest shares fell as much as $0.88, or 9.91% during intraday trading on August 21, 2015.
