Item 1.01  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

      On April 21, 2005 CEL-SCI entered into a three-year employment agreement
with Maximilian de Clara, CEL-SCI's President. The employment agreement, which
expires on April 30, 2008, provides that CEL-SCI will pay Mr. de Clara an annual
salary of $363,000 during the term of the agreement. In the event that there is
a material reduction in Mr. de Clara's authority, duties or activities, or in
the event there is a change in the control of the Company, then the agreement
allows Mr. de Clara to resign from his position at the Company and receive a
lump-sum payment from CEL-SCI equal to 18 months salary. For purposes of the
employment agreement, a change in the control of CEL-SCI means the sale of more
than 50% of the outstanding shares of CEL-SCI's Common Stock, or a change in a
majority of CEL-SCI's directors.
