Item 8.01   Other Events

     CEL-SCI  announced  that it has  received  the  official  minutes  from its
February 8, 2017 meeting  with the U.S.  Food and Drug  Administration  (FDA) in
regards to the partial  clinical hold placed on CEL-SCI's  Phase 3 head and neck
cancer  study.  Pursuant  to  the  partial  clinical  hold,  patients  currently
receiving study  treatments can continue to receive  treatment at the discretion
of their physicians and with their consent, and patients already enrolled in the
study will  continue to be  followed.  As of March 6, 2017,  928  patients  were
enrolled in this study.

     The purpose of the February 8, 2017 meeting with the FDA was to discuss the
issues raised by the FDA with respect to the partial clinical hold and to obtain
the FDA's input and clarification on how to address these issues.

     The Action Items for CEL-SCI to pursue per the minutes from the FDA are the
following:

     1)   Provide an updated Investigator's  Brochure and current procedures for
          compliance with requirements under 21 CFR 312 Subpart D to address the
          partial clinical hold.

     2)   Provide a list of major protocol  deviations,  which CEL-SCI  believes
          will  affect  study  results,  and  provide a plan to  identify  major
          protocol  deviations  across  all  patients  enrolled  in the  Phase 3
          protocol.

      CEL-SCI is working diligently on responding to all Action Items.

     It is CEL_SCI's  belief that  addressing the Action Items listed above will
support a favorable decision by the FDA to lift the partial clinical hold. While
CEL-SCI  believes  that it  understands  the Action  Items,  it is possible that
CEL-SCI has not understood all issues involved. All of CEL-SCI's work is subject
to the FDA's review of CEL-SCI's  submission  upon its completion and may or may
not result in the lifting of the partial clinical hold.

Item 9.01   Financial Statements and Exhibits

     On March 6, 2017 CEL-SCI  issued a press  release,  attached as Exhibit 99,
concerning the receipt of the FDA's minutes of the February 8, 2017 meeting.
