CEL-SCI Corporation Completes Commissioning of Its Multikine Manufacturing Facility for Commercial Scale Production of Head & Neck Cancer Drug

CEL-SCI Corporation is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to research and development directed at improving the treatment of cancer and other diseases by using the immune system. The Company is focused on the development of product candidates and technologies, such as Multikine, an investigational immunotherapy under development for the potential treatment of certain head and neck cancers, and Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System (LEAPS), with several product candidates under development for the potential treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Multikine is a biological medicinal immunotherapy comprising a mixture of natural cytokines and small biological molecules. Multikine is injected around the tumor and adjacent lymph nodes for three weeks as a first-line treatment before the standard of care (SOC), which is surgery followed by either radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Multikines rationale for use is to incite a locoregional immune response against the tumor.
