As of 21 December, the likelihood of approval (LoA) for TG Therapeutics’ Phase III anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody for relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) in the US rose 10 points, according to GlobalData’s LoA data. The score change was based on topline results of two late-stage studies, called ULTIMATE I & II, evaluating ublituximab compared to Sanofi’s Aubagio (teriflunomide).

On 10 December 2020, TG announced that both ULTIMATE I and II met their primary endpoint, with ublituximab demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in annualised relapse rate (ARR) over a 96-week timeframe. Ublituximab therapy led to an ARR of <0.10 in each of the two studies, with a relative reduction in ARR of approximately 60% and 50%, respectively, over Aubagio.
