"Our Phase III study is continuing to enroll patients on a continuous basis on three continents around the world. We recently presented CEL-SCI and the Multikine head and neck cancer Phase III study at the 8th International Head and Neck Cancer conference in Toronto, Canada and interest was high among clinical investigators in joining our study. We continue to believe that adding our Multikine immunotherapy to the existing head and neck cancer treatments will create a new paradigm for the treatment of head and neck cancer," said Geert Kersten, CEO of CEL-SCI Corporation.

About CEL-SCI Corporation

CEL-SCI is dedicated to research and development directed at improving the treatment of cancer and other diseases by utilizing the immune system, the body's natural defense system. Its lead investigational therapy is Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), currently being studied in a pivotal global Phase III clinical trial. CEL-SCI is also developing (and investigating) an immunotherapy (LEAPS-H1N1-DC) as a possible treatment for H1N1 hospitalized patients and as a vaccine (CEL-2000) for Rheumatoid Arthritis using its LEAPS technology platform. The LEAPS drug candidates are currently in preclinical testing. 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.
