Score one for the little guy.
After a four-year legal battle, immunotherapy maker CEL-SCI Corporation has won the first-ever breach-of-contract case against a contract research organization, or CRO.
In a final and binding decision, an arbitrator concluded that CRO inVentiv knowingly and fraudulently misled CEL-SCI with regard to enrollment projections for a clinical trial of CEL-SCI’s immunotherapy treatment for head and neck cancer. The arbitrator also said inVentiv used “scorched earth” litigation tactics and awarded CEL-SCI $2.9 million in damages, according to a statement from Vienna, Va.-based CEL-SCI.
The arbitrator denied inVentiv all but one of its counterclaims against CEL-SCI, which was for $429,649 for certain unpaid invoices.
