Slide 27: Why is the Multikine Study an Event Driven Study?
Why is the Multikine Study an Event Driven Study? ● By now it is well established that cancer immunotherapy has a “delayed survival” benefit. In a time driven study you end the study at a certain time point (e.g., two years after the last drug was administered). Under this scenario, the study may be
Slide 28: Key Developments Pointing to Likelihood of Success of Phase 3 Study
Key Developments Pointing to Likelihood of Success of Phase 3 Study ● To prove a 10% improvement in overall survival, the study requires CEL-SCI to wait until 298 events have occurred among the two main groups. In Phase 2 studies, Multikine increased survival by 33%. ● We believe a delay in reaching

Slide 35: Summary
Summary ● Multikine is administered before surgery, radiation and chemotherapy because that is the time when the patient's immune system is the strongest. By doing so we hope to either cure the patient or delay the time to recurrence ● Phase 3 overall survival (OS) data results are expected soon ● E
