ORGANIZATION

 

 

 

CEL-SCI Corporation (the Company) was incorporated on March 22, 1983, in the state of Colorado, to finance research and development in biomedical science and ultimately to engage in marketing and selling products.

 

 

 

The Company is focused on finding the best way to activate the immune system to fight cancer and infectious diseases. The Company has recently announced top line Phase 3 data for its lead investigational therapy, Multikine® (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), involving head and neck cancer, for which the Company has received Orphan Drug Status from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Unlike other immune therapies, Multikine is administered locally at the site of the tumor as a first line treatment right after diagnosis, before surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. The goal is to help the intact immune system kill the micro metastases that usually cause recurrence of the cancer.

 

 

 

CEL-SCI is investigating a peptide-based immunotherapy (CEL-4000) as a vaccine for rheumatoid arthritis using its LEAPS technology platform. CEL-SCI is in the process of completing pre-IND studies for CEL-4000.
