CEL-SCI Corporation Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Results

CEL-SCI Corporation (NYSE American: CVM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as well as key clinical and corporate developments.

Clinical and Corporate Developments include:

  • The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) published two abstracts related to CEL-SCI’s pivotal randomized controlled Phase 3 Multikine® (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection)* head and neck cancer clinical trial for presentation at the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting to be held June 3-7, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois. The abstract titles are:



  • Multikine is given for three weeks after cancer diagnosis, but before surgery and other treatments. In the peer-reviewed abstract presented at ASCO, a clear survival advantage for patients treated with Multikine prior to surgery in the surgery-plus-radiation arm of the IT-MATTERS study was described. The survival advantage was driven by objective data derived from patients in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population who had a significant number of early complete and partial tumor responses which occurred prior to surgery. Five patients in the study had their tumors completely disappear (confirmed by pathology) before surgery. In the ITT population as a whole, 8.5% of all Multikine-treated patients had a tumor response before surgery, but not a single tumor response before surgery was seen in the ITT control group before surgery, statistically a highly significant finding (p-value of less than 0.00000000001). This indicates that the likelihood of seeing these results by chance is less than 1 in ten billion. These results confirm findings from the Phase 1 and 2 studies with Multikine and provide direct evidence of Multikine’s anticancer activity.



  • Additional results from the Phase 3 study of Multikine in advanced primary head and neck cancer have been submitted to the U.S. government clinical trial website www.clinicaltrials.gov. That data is expected to be released to the public in the near future.



  • CEL-SCI’s dedicated current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) facility in which it manufactures Multikine is now undergoing validation following the completion of its commercial scale build out during the first quarter of 2022. The construction was designed to ensure the facility will be compliant with all U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) GMP and European regulations.

“Advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the head and neck is a horrible disease for which FDA has not approved a new treatment in many decades. Many leading drugs have failed in studies for the treatment of advanced primary head and neck cancer. Our Phase 3 study shows an almost 4-year median survival benefit for the patients who received Multikine treatment before surgery and radiation. We believe that this represents a meaningful clinical impact for those patients for whom no treatment has imparted a significant survival benefit in decades. We are looking forward to additional peer-reviewed publications of this data,” stated CEL-SCI CEO, Geert Kersten.

CEL-SCI reported an operating loss of $27.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 versus an operating loss of $27.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Net cash used during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was $13.3 million. This represents a decrease of $0.7 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021. CEL-SCI reported an operating loss of $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 versus an operating loss of $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

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 radiochemotherapy (the current standard of care for these patients). This approach is unique. Most other cancer immunotherapies are administered only after conventional therapies have been tried and/or failed. Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for neoadjuvant therapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the head and neck. CEL-SCI believes that this Phase 3 study is the largest Phase 3 study in the world for the treatment of advanced primary head and neck cancer.

Multikine is designed to help the immune system “see” 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. The Phase 3 study was started in early 2011 and was fully enrolled with 928 patients in September 2016. To prove an overall survival benefit, the study required CEL-SCI to wait until at least 298 (deaths) events had occurred among the two main comparator groups. The study results announced showed almost 4-year survival benefit for those patients who received Multikine treatment regimen plus surgery and radiation. When chemotherapy was added to radiotherapy following surgery the survival benefit was negated.

The Company’s LEAPS technology is being developed for rheumatoid arthritis. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and near/in Baltimore, Maryland.
