Item 8.01   Other Events

     On June 28, 2017 CEL-SCI  Corporation  received a letter from the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration  (FDA) in response to CEL-SCI's most recent June 2, 2017
submission regarding the clinical hold imposed on the Company's Phase 3 head and
neck cancer study with Multikine (Leukocyte  Interleukin,  Inj.) Investigational
New Drug (IND).

     In this most recent letter, the FDA requested that three additional changes
be made to the Multikine  Investigator  Brochure (IB) that CEL-SCI  submitted to
the FDA on June 2, 2017. The FDA provided instructions directing CEL-SCI on what
the specific  changes should be.  CEL-SCI  intends to swiftly make the requested
changes to the IB and submit its  response to the FDA as soon as possible  after
the July 4 holiday. The FDA did not raise any other hold issues in this letter.

     CEL-SCI  was  also  told by the FDA that  the  effect  of the hold is not a
termination of the study.  The only action that CEL-SCI needed to be aware of is
that CEL-SCI may not enroll new patients and may not resume  Multikine dosing in
any previously  enrolled patient in this study or initiate any new studies under
this IND. CEL-SCI is not currently planning to do any of these things.

     Nine hundred  twenty-eight  (928) head and neck cancer  patients  have been
enrolled and have completed  treatment in the Phase 3 study.  In accordance with
the study protocol,  the FDA's  instructions,  and subject to the clinical hold,
CEL-SCI  continues  to follow these  patients  and gather all  protocol-specific
data.  In light of new  clinical  information  from  the  Phase 3 study  CEL-SCI
decided  in April 2017 that it was not  necessary  to add more  patients  to the
study and therefore withdrew the study amendment for additional patients.

     The study  endpoint  is a 10%  increase  in overall  survival  of  patients
between  the two main  comparator  groups  in favor of the group  receiving  the
Multikine  treatment  regimen.  The  determination if the study end point is met
will occur when there are a total of 298 deaths in those two groups.
