About CEL-SCI Corporation
CEL-SCI Corporation recently completed their head and neck Phase 3 clinical trial, IT-MATTERS. With a total of 928 patients, this study is now the largest one of its kind. The primary focus was to determine if Multikine would result in any benefits for survival rates or other clinic outcomes for those with locally advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth and throat region (SCCHN), oral cavity, or soft palate . In order to adhere to international standards and practices ,the trial was conducted across 23 countries following all required protocols including Good Clinical Practices and International Council for Harmonization standards.
CEL-SCI initiated Phase 3 in early 2011 and enrolled 928 patients by September 2016. In order for the study to achieve its objective of displaying an overall survival benefit, CEL-SCI had to wait until 298 people died among the two groups being compared (which were equal in size). After meeting this criterion, The FDA awarded Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) Orphan Drug designation for neoadjuvant therapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

About Multikine
Multikine is designed to enhance the immune system’s ability to target and attack tumors. Natural cytokines that help regulate the immune system make up this treatment, which doctors give to patients with previously untreated SCCHN before they start SOC (standard of care) regimen. The earlier this neoadjuvant cancer immunotherapy is administered, the more effective it appears to be.
