CEL-SCI Corporation (NYSE American: CVM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and provided an update on clinical developments:
“We have completed and will soon evaluate data from our pivotal global Phase 3 study, which is the world’s largest Phase 3 study in head and neck cancer. A successful study result will provide definitive proof of the concept established in our Phase 2 head and neck cancer studies, that immunotherapy should be given as the initial treatment of cancer right after diagnosis, before surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation which severely weaken the immune system. Should the study meet its primary endpoint, we expect CEL-SCI will gain the first FDA approval for a first-line treatment for advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in about 60 years. We are grateful to all the patients, clinicians and investigators, clinical sites, and the entire team at CEL-SCI and our current CROs for completing this very large pivotal Phase 3 global study.” stated CEL-SCI CEO, Geert Kersten.
During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash increased by approximately $5.9 million. Significant components of this increase include approximately $12.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of common stock through public offerings and approximately $2.1 million in proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options, offset by net cash used to fund the Company’s regular operations, including its Phase 3 clinical trial, of approximately $8.0 million, approximately $0.8 million of equipment and leasehold improvement expenditures and approximately $0.4 million in lease payments.
CEL-SCI reported a net loss of $14.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2020 versus a net loss of $5.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019. CEL-SCI reported a net loss of $9.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 versus a net loss of $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The variance is largely due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities at the respective period ends. These changes were caused mainly by fluctuation in the share price of the Company’s common stock.
About CEL-SCI Corporation
CEL-SCI believes that boosting a patient’s immune system while it is still intact should provide the greatest possible impact on survival. Therefore, in the Phase 3 study CEL-SCI treated patients who are newly diagnosed with advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with the investigational product Multikine first, BEFORE they received surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. This approach is unique. Most other cancer immunotherapies are administered only after conventional therapies have been tried and/or failed. Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), has received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for neoadjuvant therapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the head and neck.
CEL-SCI believes that this Phase 3 study is the largest Phase 3 study in the world for the treatment of head and neck cancer. Per the study’s protocol, newly diagnosed patients with advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck were treated with the Multikine treatment regimen for 3 weeks prior to receiving the Standard of Care (SOC) which involves surgery, radiation or concurrent radiochemotherapy. Multikine is designed to help the immune system “see” the tumor at a time when the immune system is still relatively intact and thereby thought to better be able to mount an attack on the tumor. The aim of treatment with Multikine is to boost the body’s immune system prior to SOC. The Phase 3 study is fully enrolled with 928 patients and the last patient was treated in September 2016. To prove an overall survival benefit, the study requires CEL-SCI to wait until 298 events have occurred among the two main comparator groups.
The Company’s LEAPS technology is being developed for rheumatoid arthritis and as a potential treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized and at-high-risk patients. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and near/in Baltimore, Maryland.
