Shares of CEL-SCI climbed after the company reported progress toward the filing of an application for multikine in Saudi Arabia, but pared their gains after it announced a stock offering.

The stock touched an intraday high of $7.09, but receded back to $3.98, up 4.2%, midday Friday. Volume was more than 25 million, compared with a 65-day average of 211,258.

The biotechnology company said earlier it reached an agreement with an undisclosed Saudi Arabian pharmaceutical and healthcare company for a partnership that spans regulatory and commercial activities for multikine, which is designed to help the immune system target a tumor.

The Saudi partner will file a Breakthrough Medicine Designation application in the coming weeks, CEL-SCI said.

Multikine is given after diagnosis and before surgery. CEL-SCI has reported favorable study results in patients with head and neck cancer, including pain reduction or cessation and improvement in ability to eat, drink and swallow.

The Vienna, Va., company said multiple Saudi Arabian funds have expressed interest in investing in the company or in its venture with the Saudi partner.

Later Friday, CEL-SCI said it is selling 1.5 million shares for $3.82 each. In May, the company closed a $5 million offering. It also had stock offerings in December and March.
