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 treats patients who are newly
diagnosed with advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and
neck with Multikine* first, BEFORE they receive surgery, radiation
and/or chemotherapy. This approach is unique. Most other cancer
immunotherapies are administered only after conventional therapies have
been tried and/or failed. Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection),
has received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for the neoadjuvant
therapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the head
and neck.

CEL-SCI’s Phase 3 study is the largest Phase 3 study in the world for
the treatment of head and neck cancer. Per the study’s protocol, newly
diagnosed patients with advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma are
treated with the Multikine treatment regimen for 3 weeks prior to the
Standard of Care (SOC) which involves surgery, chemotherapy and/or
radiation. Multikine is designed to help the immune system “see” the
tumor at a time when the immune system is still relatively intact and
thereby better able to mount an attack on the tumor. The aim of
treatment with Multikine is to boost the body’s immune system prior to
SOC. The Phase 3 study is fully enrolled with 928 patients and the last
patient was treated in September 2016, about 2.5 years ago. CEL-SCI is
waiting for 298 events to occur for a final data readout.

The Company’s LEAPS technology is currently being developed as a
therapeutic vaccine for rheumatoid arthritis and is supported by grants
from the National Institutes of Health. The Company has operations in
Vienna, Virginia, and in/near Baltimore, Maryland.
