CEL-SCI Corporation shares closed up a little over 44% on Monday on about 6.8 million shares traded. The stock saw its shares rise after the company issued an encouraging letter to shareholders. CEL-SCI, whose mission is to improve the treatment of cancer and other diseases by utilizing the immune system, the body's natural defense system, wrote, "We have won the arbitration against the clinical research organization (CRO) inVentiv that ran our Phase 3 head and neck cancer study from 2011-2013. We also raised $12 million in new equity capital this year to strengthen our financial position. Our singular goal is to get to the final data readout of the Phase 3 trial to establish the utility of our investigational immunotherapy Multikine." The letter also read, "CEL-SCI is a cancer immunotherapy company that has a market cap of about $20 million. In the past 18 months, several successful Phase 3 cancer immunotherapy companies were sold for $7 billion to almost $12 billion. They had positive survival data from their pivotal studies, but had not yet received FDA approval. Recently, one cancer immunotherapy company with not yet completed Phase 3 studies was sold for about $1.6 billion." It added, "Should the CEL-SCI Phase 3 study be successful, the potential market for our drug will be substantially larger than the markets of the multi-billion dollar companies mentioned above. If we receive FDA approval, one could expect that we should become part of the standard of care (SOC) since the study endpoint of “improvement in overall survival” is the gold standard for cancer drug approval."
