About CEL-SCI Corporation
CEL-SCI is a Phase 3 cancer immunotherapy company. When it comes to cancer immunotherapy, CEL-SCI believes it is most logical to boost the patient's immune system while it is still intact in order to have the greatest possible impact on survival. Therefore, CEL-SCI treats patients who are newly diagnosed with head and neck cancer with its lead investigational immunotherapy Multikine, BEFORE they have received surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. This approach is unique. Most other cancer immunotherapies are used only after conventional therapies have been tried and/or failed. Head and neck cancer represents about 6% of all cancers. Multikine has received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for the treatment of head and neck cancer patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma.

The Company's LEAPS technology is being developed as a therapeutic vaccine for rheumatoid arthritis and is supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health. CEL-SCI has patents on Multikine from the US, Europe, China, and Japan.

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

Major Milestone Achieved in World’s Largest Head and Neck Cancer Phase 3 Study

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/14/2017 -- CEL-SCI Corporation announced today that no further patient enrollment is required in the pivotal Phase 3 head and neck cancer study of its investigational immunotherapy Multikine* (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection). The accrual and treatment phases of this Phase 3 study are complete. All of the 928 enrolled patients in the study are being followed-up as required by the study protocol.

CEL-SCI reaches full enrollment in pivotal Phase 3 head and neck cancer study

CEL-SCI recently announced that the study's Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) completed its most recent review of the data from all 928 patients enrolled in the study, and recommended continuing the study as there was no evidence of any significant safety questions.

The primary endpoint of the study, a 10% improvement in overall survival of the Multikine treatment regimen plus Standard of Care (SOC) vs. Standard of Care alone, will be determined after a total of 298 deaths have occurred in these two main comparator arms of the study and have been recorded in the study database. The last patient was enrolled in the study in September 2016. Approximately 135 patients were enrolled in the study from 2011 to 2013, about 195 were enrolled in 2014, about 340 in 2015, and about 260 in 2016. The study protocol assumed an overall survival rate of about 55% at 3 years for the SOC treatment group alone.

IDMCs are committees commonly used by sponsors of clinical trials to protect the interests of the patients and the integrity of the study data in ongoing trials, especially when the trials involve patients with life threatening diseases, and when, as in cancer clinical trials, they extend over long periods of time.

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/06/2016 -- CEL-SCI Corporation ("CEL SCI" or the "Company") today announced that during the month of June it has enrolled 32 patients in its ongoing Phase 3 trial of its investigational immunotherapy Multikine* (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) in patients with advanced primary head and neck cancer. Total patient enrollment for the trial is now 848 as of June 30, 2016.

About the Multikine Phase 3 Study
The Multikine Phase 3 study is enrolling patients with advanced primary (not yet treated) squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. The objective of the study is to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in the overall survival of enrolled patients who are treated with the Multikine treatment regimen plus standard of care ("SOC") vs. subjects who are treated with SOC only.

About Multikine
Multikine is an investigational immunotherapeutic agent that is being tested in an open-label, randomized, controlled, global pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial as a potential first-line treatment for advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Multikine is designed to be a different type of therapy in the fight against cancer: one that appears to have the potential to work with the body's natural immune system in the fight against tumors.

Multikine is also being tested in a Phase 1 study under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement ("CRADA") with the U.S. Naval Medical Center, San Diego, and at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), as a potential treatment for peri-anal warts in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women. Dr. Joel Palefsky, a world-renowned scientist and Key Opinion Leader (KOL) in human papilloma virus (HPV) research and the prevention of anal cancer, is the Principal Investigator at UCSF, which was added to the study in July 2015.

CEL-SCI has also entered into two additional co-development agreements for up to $3 million each with Ergomed Clinical Research Limited to further the development of Multikine for cervical dysplasia/neoplasia in women who are co-infected with HIV and HPV and for peri-anal warts in men and women who are co-infected with HIV and HPV.

About CEL-SCI Corporation
CEL-SCI's work is focused on finding the best way to activate the immune system to fight cancer and infectious diseases. Its lead investigational therapy, Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), is currently being studied in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial as a potential neoadjuvant treatment for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. If the study endpoint, which is a 10% improvement in overall survival of the subjects treated with the Multikine treatment regimen plus the current standard of care (SOC) as compared to subjects treated with the current SOC only, is satisfied, the study results will be used to support applications that the Company plans to submit to regulatory agencies in order to seek commercial marketing approvals for Multikine in major markets around the world. Additional clinical indications for Multikine that are being investigated include the treatment of cervical dysplasia in HIV/HPV co-infected women, and the treatment of peri-anal warts in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women. A Phase 1 trial of the former indication has been completed at the University of Maryland. The latter indication is now in a Phase 1 trial in conjunction with the U.S. Naval Medical Center, San Diego, under a CRADA and UCSF. CEL-SCI has issued patents on Multikine from the US, Europe, China and Japan.

CEL-SCI is also developing its pre-clinical L.E.A.P.S. (Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System) technology for the potential treatment of pandemic influenza in hospitalized patients and as a potential vaccine for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

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

2015 study enrollment exceeds study enrollment of all 4 prior years combined

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/06/2016 -- CEL-SCI Corporation("CEL SCI" or the "Company") today announced that in 2015 it enrolled 340 patients in its ongoing Phase 3 trial of its investigational immunotherapy Multikine* (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) in patients with advanced primary head and neck cancer. In the month of December it enrolled 33 patients. Total patient enrollment for the trial is now 668 as of December 31, 2015 in the world's largest Phase 3 study in head and neck cancer.

The enrollment of 340 patients in the study during 2015 represents a 75% increase over total patient enrollment of 195 in 2014. It also exceeds the total number of patients enrolled in the prior four years combined from 2011 through 2014.

Geert Kersten, CEL-SCI's CEO, stated, "2015 has been a record breaking year for us in terms of patient enrollment, a key indicator of the progress we are achieving in our Phase 3 head and neck cancer trial. We believe that doctors would likely not be enrolling new patients in the study unless they believed that the Multikine treatment regimen was benefiting their patients. We further believe that Ergomed, the Clinical Research Organization (CRO) running the Phase 3 study since 2013, would not have invested an additional $2 million, for a total of $12 million, into the Phase 3 study if did not see a good chance of success."

Mr. Kersten added, "We also believe that this strong patient enrollment will be very helpful to us in CEL-SCI's ongoing $50 million plus arbitration claim against the former CRO that used to run our Phase 3 study."

The current study goal is to enroll 880 patients through approximately 100 clinical centers in over 20 countries.

The patent is important because it recites a mechanism of action of Multikine by which Multikine changes the type of T cells that enter the tumor microenvironment. This change results in the tumor becoming "visible" to the immune system, resulting in a robust and sustainable anti-tumor immune response.

Positive results with Multikine in earlier clinical studies confirmed by pathology were published. An ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial against advanced primary (not yet treated) head and neck cancer is progressing rapidly. The study is ongoing in 24 countries and so far has enrolled over 600 patients. In October 2015 the clinical research organization that runs the study added $2 million to its co-development investment in the Phase 3 study. Their investment of $12 million will only be repaid from a successful drug.

About the Multikine Phase 3 Study
The Multikine Phase 3 study is enrolling patients with advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. The objective of the study is to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in the overall survival of enrolled patients who are treated with the Multikine treatment regimen plus standard of care ("SOC") vs. subjects who are treated with SOC only.

About Multikine
Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) is an investigational immunotherapeutic agent that is being tested in an open-label, randomized, controlled, global pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial as a potential first-line treatment for advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Multikine is designed to be a different type of therapy in the fight against cancer: one that appears to have the potential to work with the body's natural immune system in the fight against tumors.

Multikine is also being tested in a Phase 1 study under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement ("CRADA") with the U.S. Naval Medical Center, San Diego, and at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), as a potential treatment for peri-anal warts in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women. Dr. Joel Palefsky, a world renowned scientist and Key Opinion Leader (KOL) in human papilloma virus (HPV) research and the prevention of anal cancer, is the Principal Investigator at UCSF, which was added to the study in July 2015.

CEL-SCI has also entered into two additional co-development agreements for up to $3 million each with Ergomed Clinical Research Limited to further the development of Multikine for cervical dysplasia/neoplasia in women who are co-infected with HIV and HPV and for peri-anal warts in men and women who are co-infected with HIV and HPV.

About CEL-SCI Corporation
CEL-SCI's work is focused on finding the best way to activate the immune system to fight cancer and infectious diseases. Its lead investigational therapy, Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), is currently being studied in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial as a potential neoadjuvant treatment for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. If the study endpoint, which is a 10% improvement in overall survival of the subjects treated with the Multikine treatment regimen plus the current standard of care (SOC) as compared to subjects treated with the current SOC only, is satisfied, the study results will be used to support applications that the Company plans to submit to regulatory agencies in order to seek commercial marketing approvals for Multikine in major markets around the world. Additional clinical indications for Multikine that are being investigated include the treatment of cervical dysplasia in HIV/HPV co-infected women, and the treatment of peri-anal warts in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women. A Phase 1 trial of the former indication has been completed at the University of Maryland. The latter indication is now in a Phase 1 trial in conjunction with the U.S. Naval Medical Center, San Diego, under a CRADA and UCSF.

CEL-SCI is also developing its pre-clinical L.E.A.P.S. (Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System) technology for the potential treatment of pandemic influenza in hospitalized patients and as a potential vaccine for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

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

Pre-clinical studies show CEL-SCI’s LEAPS technology prevented the development and lessened the severity of rheumatoid arthritis

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/17/2014 -- CEL-SCI Corporation announced today that it has been awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant in the amount of $225,000 from the National Institute of Arthritis Muscoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The grant will fund the further development of CEL-SCI's LEAPS technology as a potential treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease of the joints. According to Visiongain, the world rheumatoid arthritis drug market will generate revenues of $38.5 billion in 2017.

The work will be conducted at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois in the laboratories of Tibor Glant, MD, Ph.D., The Jorge O. Galante Professor of Orthopedic Surgery; Katalin Mikecz, MD, Ph.D. Professor of Orthopedic Surgery & Biochemistry; and Allison Finnegan, Ph.D. Professor of Medicine.

The NIH grant was awarded based on preliminary data by Dr. Glant's team in collaboration with CEL-SCI showing that the administration of a proprietary peptide using CEL-SCI's LEAPS technology prevented the development, and lessened the severity, including inflammation, of experimental RA when it was administered after the disease was induced in the animals. This data was presented in May 2013 by Daniel Zimmerman, Ph.D., CEL-SCI's Senior Vice President of Research, Cellular Immunology, at the symposium on "Therapeutic Approaches to Autoimmunity" during the American Association of Immunologists (AAI) 100th annual meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.

"These findings, in conjunction with the results from previously conducted studies with LEAPS vaccines in other RA models suggest that LEAPS vaccines may be used as a therapeutic treatment for different types of RA. LEAPS vaccines may be advantageous to other therapies because the LEAPS vaccines act early on the immune system and inhibit the production of disease-promoting inflammatory cytokines, unlike anti-Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) therapy which generally acts late and neutralizes only one individual inflammatory cytokine out of many involved in the disease process," said CEL-SCI's Dr. Zimmerman.

Dr. Zimmerman continued, "The successful conclusion of this round of studies in this autoimmune disease could take LEAPS closer to human studies and open its development to various other autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, uveitis, colitis (Inflammatory Bowel disease) and certain types of diabetes."

The NIH grant will fund studies in a well-established mouse model for Th1 Proteoglycan induced arthritis (PGIA) as developed by Drs. Glant and Mikecz and recently expanded to a Th17 PGIA by Drs. Finnegan and Glant. These two PGIA models are significant in that they more closely approximate human disease with the concurrent presence of rheumatoid factor and anti citrulline peptide antibodies and spondylitis that are not seen in most arthritis models.

About Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that mainly targets the synovial membrane, cartilage and bone. It affects about 1% of the global population and is associated with significant morbidity and increased mortality. Anti-TNF related therapies are the current standard treatment of patients with advanced RA, but over half of the RA patients do not respond to current anti-TNF drugs such as etanercept (Enbrel®) and infliximab (Remicade®).

About CEL-SCI Corporation
CEL-SCI's work is focused on finding the best way to activate the immune system to fight cancer and infectious diseases. Its lead investigational therapy Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) is currently being studied in a pivotal Phase III clinical trial against head and neck cancer. If the study endpoint, which is a 10% improvement in overall survival of the subjects treated with Multikine treatment regimen as compared to subjects treated with current standard of care only is satisfied, the study results will be used to support applications which will be submitted to regulatory agencies in order to receive from these agencies commercial marketing approvals for Multikine in major markets around the world. Additional clinical indications for Multikine which are being investigated include cervical dysplasia in HIV/HPV co-infected women, and the treatment of peri-anal warts in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women. A Phase I trial of the former indication has been completed at the University of Maryland. The latter indication is now in a Phase I trial in conjunction with the U.S. Navy under a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement).

CEL-SCI is also developing its LEAPS technology for the treatment of pandemic influenza and as a potential therapeutic vaccine against rheumatoid arthritis. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and in/near Baltimore, Maryland.

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2014 -- CEL-SCI Corporation today announced that during the month of April 2014 the Company enrolled 21 patients with advanced primary, not yet treated, head and neck cancer into its global Phase III head and neck cancer trial for its investigational immunotherapy Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection). This marks a substantial increase over the previous monthly record of 14 patients in March 2014.

CEL-SCI's trial is now active in 46 clinical centers in 12 countries. Further expansion is underway to a total of about 20 countries and about 100 clinical centers. So far, 183 patients have been enrolled in the study.

"During the past months we have seen very rapid increases in rate of enrollment in this study. We think that increases in the enrollment rate in our trial in recent months are, in part, due to the addition of new centers and the intense site support by our clinical research organization Ergomed. In addition, we have observed a definite increase in interest by investigators in enrolling subjects in our study once they have gained some experience with Multikine in their own patients and once they become more familiar with it. As we continue to add new centers in our study and as the investigators become more experienced with using Multikine, we can expect that the rate of enrollment in our study will continue to increase and make it possible to reach our goal of full enrolment by the end of 2015," commented Geert Kersten, CEL-SCI's Chief Executive Officer.

Multikine was reported to be well tolerated and was used safely in CEL-SCI's Phase II studies in head and neck cancer, as reported by the Phase II study investigators. In the Phase II trial, which formed the basis for the Phase III study, Multikine administration appeared to have caused, on average, the reduction/elimination of about 50% of the cancer cells of treated patients, as determined by pathology. Also, based on pathology reports, about 12% of patients had no remaining cancer cells after their treatment with Multikine Phase II results published (by Timar et al) in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Estimated 52,000 new cases of head and neck cancer are diagnosed each year in the U.S.

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/01/2014 -- CEL-SCI Corporation today announced its Phase III Head and Neck Cancer clinical trial of its investigational cancer immunotherapy treatment Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) has activated another U.S. clinical site at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine's Simmons Cancer Institute in Springfield, Illinois. The Illinois site, which has become part of the world's largest Phase III trial for head and neck cancer with dozens of hospitals and clinical centers in 12 countries, has now officially joined the study. According to the National Cancer Institute, researchers estimated that about 52,000 men and women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with head and neck cancers annually.

The Multikine Phase III study is enrolling patients with advanced primary, not yet treated, head and neck cancer. The objective of the study is to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in overall survival of enrolled patients who are treated with the Multikine treatment regimen plus Standard of Care (SOC) vs. subjects who are treated with SOC only. CEL-SCI's Multikine investigational immunotherapy is intended to create an anti-tumor immune response to reduce local/regional tumor recurrence and thereby increase the survival rate of these patients.

Southern Illinois University School of Medicine's SIU HealthCare is the University's health care practice which served over 477,000 patients in 2013. SIU HealthCare has nearly 240 teaching physicians providing new treatments and technologies that have transformed the practice of medicine. SIU HealthCare's clinical outreach extends to approximately 100 sites in 46 Illinois communities.

Dr. Krishna A. Rao, M.D., Ph.D., will serve as the Principal Investigator for the CEL-SCI's Phase III head and neck cancer trial at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/10/2014 -- CEL-SCI Corporation today announced that the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan is the latest U.S. clinical center to join the Company's Phase III head and neck cancer clinical trial of its investigational cancer immunotherapy treatment Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection). CEL-SCI is currently expanding and accelerating patient enrollment in its trial. The Company expects to rapidly expand the number of clinical sites active in the U.S. As the world's largest Phase III trial for head and neck cancer, CEL-SCI's study is already active in dozens of clinical centers in 12 countries and is expected to expand to a total of 20 countries by the end of 2015.

CEL-SCI's Multikine investigational cancer immunotherapy is intended to create an anti-tumor immune response to reduce local/regional tumor recurrence and thereby increase the survival rate of patients. If approved for use following completion of CEL-SCI's clinical development program for head and neck cancer, Multikine would be a different type of therapy in the fight against cancer; one that appears to have the potential to work with the body's natural immune system in the fight against tumors.

According to a report published by the Metropolitan Detroit Cancer Surveillance System in 2010, there were 24,651 new invasive and in situ cancers diagnosed in residents of the metropolitan Detroit area of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties. In a national study researchers estimated that more than 52,000 men and women would be diagnosed in the U.S. with head and neck cancers in 2012, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Founded in 1915 by auto pioneer Henry Ford and now one of the nation's leading health care providers, Detroit's Henry Ford Health System is comprised of hospitals, medical centers and one of the nation's largest group practices, which includes more than 1,200 physicians practicing in over 40 specialties.

The Josephine Ford Cancer Institute at Henry Ford is a leader in groundbreaking techniques, offering the most advanced diagnostic testing, and multiple treatment approaches including surgery and radiation therapy. Dr. Haythem Ali, a medical oncologist, is the Principal Investigator for CEL-SCI's study at Henry Ford. His specialties include head and neck cancer and he has published several articles in peer reviewed journals.

"This is our first U.S. clinical center to open in the Midwest. Our intention is to rapidly add more clinical research centers located across North America so that patients seeking to enroll in our immunotherapy trial may have the opportunity to access a site. We are pleased that Dr. Haythem and one of the leading healthcare providers in country, Henry Ford Health System, have chosen to participate in our groundbreaking study," stated CEL-SCI Chief Executive Officer Geert Kersten.

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/04/2014 -- CEL-SCI Corporation reported accelerating progress in patient enrollment in the Phase III Head and Neck Cancer clinical trial of its investigational cancer immunotherapy treatment Multikine* (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection). Approximately 146 patients have been enrolled in the Phase III study to date.

Over the past three months, patient screening by participating hospitals and patient enrollment have steadily increased. In fact, we are even now seeing patient enrollment at centers that had not enrolled any patients under the prior Clinical Research Organization (CRO), inVentiv Health. CEL-SCI expects to see a further increase in the number of patients enrolled in the study at an accelerating pace as (i) the current centers finalize all logistical issues and (ii) an additional 50-60 centers are added throughout the world. Full enrollment of the planned 880 patients is expected by the end of 2015.

Per the study's protocol design, four out of every seven patients enrolled are randomized to treatment with Multikine followed by the current standard of care (SOC) treatment, which is surgery plus radiotherapy or surgery plus concurrent radiochemotherapy. The remaining three patients receive SOC only – the control-treatment comparator group. In accordance with the protocol design, of the approximate 146 patients enrolled, an estimated 84 have already been dosed with Multikine.

The study's Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC), a committee of prominent physicians and scientists from around the world, already has completed two interim reviews of the unblinded trial data. Following each review, the IDMC concluded that the patient data raised no safety concerns and recommended that the Phase III study continue unmodified.

"We are very pleased with the acceleration of our study and based on what we are told by our current CROs Ergomed and Aptiv Solutions, we believe that both patient accrual and the study will continue to advance at a faster pace in the coming months," stated CEL-SCI Chief Executive Officer Geert Kersten.

Most of the patient enrollment is under the control of Ergomed who has signed three co-development agreements for Multikine with CEL-SCI. The agreement concerning head and neck cancer calls for an investment by Ergomed of up to $10 million into the ongoing Phase III clinical trial. Ergomed will be repaid from future sales of Multikine, following regulatory approval.

The investigational immunotherapy LEAPS-H1N1-DC treatment involves non-changing regions of H1N1 Pandemic Flu, Avian Flu (H5N1), and the Spanish Flu, as CEL-SCI scientists are very concerned about the possible emergence of a new more virulent hybrid virus through the combination of H1N1 and Avian Flu, or maybe Spanish Flu. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and in/near Baltimore, Maryland.

Marks 3rd indication for Multikine in clinical trials

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/05/2014 -- CEL-SCI Corporation announced today the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the U.S. Navy's Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD), has approved the start of a Phase I dose escalation study of the Company's investigational immunotherapy Multikine* (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women with peri-anal warts. This approval marks the third indication for which Multikine is being investigated in clinical trials. Multikine is currently being investigated in the largest Phase III trial in the world for the treatment of head and neck cancer. It has previously been evaluated as a potential treatment for cervical dysplasia in HIV/HPV co-infected women and a Phase II study to further investigate this indication is currently in the planning stages.

The Phase I dose escalation study is being funded and conducted through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between the U.S. Navy and CEL-SCI. CEL-SCI will contribute the investigational immunotherapy drug Multikine, will retain all rights to any currently owned technology and will have the right to exclusively license any new technology developed from the collaboration. By entering into this CRADA, NMCSD does not directly or indirectly endorse any product or service provided, or to be provided, by CEL-SCI, its successors, assignees, or licensees.

Anal and genital warts are commonly associated with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), the most common sexually transmitted disease. The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has named HPV the 4th largest health threat the U.S. will face in 2014. According to the CDC, 360,000 people in the U.S. get genital warts each year. Persistent HPV infection in the anal region is thought to be responsible for up to 80% of anal cancers. HPV is an even more significant health problem in the HIV infected population as individuals are living longer as a result of greatly improved HIV medications, but are mostly unable to clear HPV due to their weakened immune system.

The Principle Investigator for the Phase I study is John D. Malone MD, MPH, Infectious Diseases Staff Physician, NMCSD. The purpose of this dose escalation study is to evaluate the safety and clinical impact of Multikine as a treatment of peri-anal warts and assess the effect on anal intraepithelial dysplasia (AIN) in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women.

According to Dr. Malone, the immunologic agent Multikine has potential to improve the clinical treatment of HPV lesions that are associated with cancer. The NMCSD Clinical Investigation Department has a robust spectrum of research ongoing, participating in over 400 research studies/trials annually with the hope of advancing medical treatment and improving quality of life for patients.

NMCSD, a referral center of excellence for HIV/AIDS care of active duty, family members, and retired individuals since the start of the HIV epidemic in the 1980s, has conducted over 30 HIV/AIDS human subjects approved clinical research protocols to advance clinical patient care.

Multikine is being given to the HIV/HPV co-infected patients with peri-anal warts based on the results obtained in a Multikine Phase I study conducted at the University of Maryland in which the investigational therapy Multikine was given to HIV/HPV co-infected women with cervical dysplasia. In these subjects visual and histological evidence of clearance of lesions was observed. Elimination of a number of HPV strains was also determined by in situ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed on tissue biopsy collected before and after Multikine treatment. The study investigators reported that the study volunteers in this study all appeared to tolerate the Multikine treatment with no reported serious adverse events. The treatment regimen for the study of up to 15 HIV/HPV co-infected patient volunteers with peri-anal warts to be conducted by NMCSD will be identical to the regimen that was used in the Multikine cervical study in HIV/HPV co-infected patient volunteers.

"Anal warts have become an increasing problem in the general population. Patients with anal warts who are co-infected with HIV/HPV have a 30-fold increased risk of developing anal cancer because their immune system is compromised," stated CEL-SCI Chief Executive Officer Geert Kersten.

"Though this disease appears to be completely unrelated to head and neck cancer, our current Phase III lead indication, HPV has been implicated as a potential causative agent in both diseases. The virus is now thought to be a cause of many head and neck cancers, particularly in younger people in the U.S. In the anal warts study being conducted we hope to repeat the promising results seen in the study with HIV infected women with cervical dysplasia where we saw the elimination of many HPV strains following Multikine treatment," Geert Kersten added.
