The discussion on the Phase 3 results was presented by Geert Kersten the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Eyal Talor the Chief Scientific Officer and John Cipriano the Senior Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. In the landmark Phase 3 study, Multikine® produced a significant 14.1% 5-year survival benefit (62.7% vs 48.6%) in the group of advanced primary head and neck cancer patients who received surgery plus radiotherapy. The Company plans to file for FDA approval in this patient population.

About Multikine

Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) is an investigational cancer immunotherapy that is known to contain 14 natural human cytokines, the body’s immune system regulators including interleukins, interferons, chemokines, and colony stimulating factors which are elements of the body’s natural mix of defenses against cancer and other diseases.

About CEL-SCI Corporation

CEL-SCI believes that boosting a patient’s immune system while it is still intact should provide the greatest possible impact on survival. Therefore, in the Phase 3 study CEL-SCI treated patients who are newly diagnosed with advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with the investigational product Multikine first, BEFORE they received surgery and radiotherapy or surgery plus concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy (the current standard of care for these patients). This approach is unique. The study showed excellent survival benefit for those patients who received Multikine plus surgery and radiation. When chemotherapy was added the survival benefit was negated.

The Company’s LEAPS technology is being developed for rheumatoid arthritis and as a potential treatment for COVID-19 infection. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and near/in Baltimore, Maryland.
