Geert Kersten: Creating the First Cancer Drug to be Administered before Surgery

Geert discusses CEL-SCI and explains how they are working on a potentially revolutionary cancer treatment. They have a drug Multikine. It helps the body’s immune system to see and target cancer, which can improve the results of conventional treatment. Multikine is unique in that it is designed to treat patients before surgery. The drug is a combination of 14 natural cytokines, which are the body’s immune system regulators.

Currently, they are in an eight-year trial which is focused on patients that have head and neck cancers. They chose to study head and neck cancers because it’s a generally overlooked segment. Their treatment differs from other conventional treatments in that there is no severe toxicity. They inject the medication around a tumor, which helps the body to identify cancer, and when conventional treatments treat the disease, the body has a much better chance of clearing up any remaining cancer cells. They often see a measurable anti-tumor response, including a reduction in pain and weight gain in only three weeks after treatment.

They are nearing the end of their Phase III clinical trial, which should prove an overall benefit. They have an experienced management team with a lot of experience in the industry. They are hoping to help establish a new first-line standard of care. Once they are successful, they intend to develop for the treatment of other cancers. Around 100 top medical research institutes, universities and hospitals are participating on the phase three study.
