About CEL-SCI's Phase III Cancer Drug Multikine:

In Phase II clinical trials Multikine was shown to be safe and well-tolerated, and to improve the patients' overall survival by 33% at a median of three and a half years following surgery. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the go-ahead for a Phase III clinical trial with Multikine in January 2007 and granted orphan drug status to Multikine in the neoadjuvant therapy of squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the head and neck in May 2007. CEL-SCI is currently building a manufacturing facility for Multikine close to Baltimore, MD. Upon completion of the facility in the 3rd quarter of 2008, CEL-SCI will commence the Phase III clinical trial. Multikine appears to be the first non-toxic cancer drug.
