description: "CEL-SCI published peer-reviewed results from its IT-MATTERS trial in Oral Oncology, indicating that oral cancer patients with low/zero PD-L1 expression and no lymph node involvement derive significant survival benefits from Multikine treatment prior to surgery. These findings support a differentiated positioning against checkpoint inhibitors. Consequently, CEL-SCI is preparing enrollment for a global confirmatory registration study involving 212 patients within this specific biomarker-defined population to validate the observed survival advantage."

# CEL-SCI study in Oral Oncology flags low PD-L1, N0 oral cancer patients for Multikine survival benefit

-   CEL-SCI published peer-reviewed results in Oral Oncology from its IT-MATTERS trial; results were already presented in the journal publication. \* Study supports using low or zero PD-L1 expression and no lymph node involvement to identify oral cancer patients most likely to benefit from Multikine. \* Biomarker-selected patients treated with Multikine before surgery showed better survival outcomes than standard care alone, supporting a differentiated positioning versus checkpoint inhibitors. \* Enrollment is being prepared for a 212-patient global confirmatory registration study in the same biomarker-defined population to validate the earlier survival benefit.
