CEL-SCI Corporation Releases Letter To Shareholders

If we are able to replicate the promising results seen in our earlier studies and prove that Multikine increases the overall survival of cancer patients by 10% (the study’s primary end point) or more, how much value will this create for our shareholders? No one knows exactly, but it should be significant. By way of example, in 2011 we witnessed the largest acquisition ever of a company with products still in clinical development, not yet on the market. Gilead Sciences bought Pharmasset (Hepatitis C) for about $11 billion in cash. The take home message from this acquisition is clear. Established pharmaceutical companies are willing to pay very large amounts of money for products that address both a large market and represent an unmet medical need. They prefer to wait until most of the risk has been taken off the table. Multikine addresses advanced primary (not yet treated) head and neck cancer, about 5-6% of the world’s cancer cases, clearly a large market. Advanced primary head and neck cancer also represents a clear unmet medical need.

The processes of manufacturing of biological substances and running clinical trials in cancer are extremely complex. We are able to do both because we have assembled a team of world experts who share our vision to help cancer patients. We thank you for your continued support and wish you a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2012.

Sincerely,

Geert Kersten
