CEL-SCI Corporation (NYSE MKT:CVM) today announced that the University of Cincinnati Cancer Institute is the latest medical center in the U.S. to join its Phase III head and neck cancer clinical trial of its investigational cancer immunotherapy treatment Multikine* (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection). CEL-SCI’s study is already active in dozens of clinical centers in 12 countries and is expected to expand to a total of 20 countries with an estimated 880 patients to be enrolled by the end of 2015. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, head and neck cancers account for about 3% to 5% of all cancers in the United States.

This includes cancers of the oral cavity (tongue, jaw, lip, cheek, and hard palate), throat (tonsil, and base of tongue), larynx (voice box), nose and sinus cavity, skull base, salivary glands, thyroid gland and parathyroid gland. The clinical team includes head and neck cancer surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, head and neck radiologists, pathologists, speech therapists and experienced head and neck cancer nurses.
Dr. Keith Casper, Co-Director of the Comprehensive Head and Neck Cancer Center, is the Principal Investigator of CEL-SCI’s Phase III trial at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Casper has been a Head and Neck Surgical Oncologist at UC Health since 2009. He is also an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
“The University of Cincinnati Cancer Institute’s Comprehensive Head and Neck Cancer Center is one of the largest centers in its region specialized in head and neck cancer.
