CEL-SCI to Present New Data for Multikine® Head & Neck Cancer Immunotherapy at the European Society for Medical Oncology 2024 Congress

By: via Business Wire

Data to be presented on Saturday, September 14 and published via a press release before the open of market on Monday, September 16

CEL-SCI Corporation (NYSE American: CVM) today reported it will report new data from its Phase 3 study of Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection)* at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2024 Congress which takes place from September 13 – 17, 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. A poster titled “Prognostic significance of diagnostic staging in treatment naïve, resectable locally advanced primary oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma for neoadjuvant Leukocyte Interleukin Injection immunotherapy” will be presented by the study’s co-author József Tímár MD, PhD, DSc, a prominent and highly respected pathologist.

CEL-SCI has received the go-ahead from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to commence a confirmatory Registration Study of Multikine in the treatment of head and neck cancer based on strong safety and efficacy data from its IT-MATTERS completed Phase 3 study.

Dr. Timar is Professor Department of Pathology, Forensic and Insurance Medicine at Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, and served as the Director of the Central Pathology Laboratory for the IT-MATTERS study. With 174 peer reviewed studies published, Dr. Timar is a founding editor, editor in chief, or a member of the editorial board of four oncology journals. He is the recipient of a dozen honors and awards for excellence in cancer research and teaching.

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. Multikine is designed to help the immune system "target" the tumor at a time when the immune system is still relatively intact and thereby thought to be better able to mount an attack on the tumor.

Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), a true first-line cancer therapy, has been dosed in over 740 patients and received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for neoadjuvant therapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the head and neck. Multikine significantly extended life in its target patient population demonstrating a 73% survival rate with Multikine vs. only 45% without Multikine at 5 years after treatment. Based on this very strong data, the FDA agreed to CEL-SCI’s target patient selection criteria and gave the go-ahead to conduct a small, focused, confirmatory Registration Study which will enroll 212 patients. CEL-SCI will enroll newly diagnosed locally advanced primary head and neck cancer patients who present with no lymph node involvement (determined via PET scan) and with low PD-L1 tumor expression (determined via biopsy), representing over 100,000 patients (globally) annually.

The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and near/in Baltimore, Maryland.
