TG Therapeutics Announces Two Publications Highlighting BRIUMVI in Medical Journals

NEW YORK, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TG Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGTX) today announced the publication of two journal articles one describing the evolution of CD20 treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS) and the other detailing the experience of seven individuals with MS who switched to BRIUMVI® (ublituximab-xiiy) from a different anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy due to efficacy or tolerability concerns. Details of the publications are provided below.

Michael S. Weiss, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are encouraged by these publications, and believe taken together they may provide a rationale for switching patients within the CD20 class prior to leaving the class, as well as the first anecdotal evidence of the success of such a strategy, as highlighted by the seven case reports in Frontiers in Immunology. The findings reinforce the potential of BRIUMVI in improving patient outcomes for those seeking an alternative to their previous anti-CD20 therapy. Furthermore, the article in CNS DRUGS offers an insightful look at the evolution of anti-CD20 treatments and a potential rationale as to why switching within the same class is a viable strategy. We remain committed to the MS community and believe these papers highlight the real-world impact BRIUMVI can have on the those living with MS and we will continue to study this phenomenon through our ongoing ENHANCE and ENABLE studies to assess if these anecdotal accounts can be further supported.”  

JOURNAL ARTICLES:
Title: Switching to Ublituximab from Prior anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody Therapy: A Case Report Series

  • The article describes a retrospective case series of seven individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) treated in private practice or at an MS clinic who switched to ublituximab from a different anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy due to efficacy or tolerability concerns. Details of each case, including clinical and/or radiological outcomes on initial anti-CD20 therapy, reasons for switching, and outcomes after starting ublituximab therapy are provided.
  • This case series was published in Frontiers in Immunology and the online version of the publication can be accessed at Frontiers in Immunology.

Title: The Evolution of Anti-CD20 Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis

  • The article focuses on the unique characteristics of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies used to treat MS that may be relevant to differences in therapeutic efficacy, tolerability, and patient experience—namely, scaffold, mechanism of action (eg, complement-dependent cytotoxicity vs antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity), and Fc engineering. The discussion of these refinements includes improving the extent of B-cell depletion, reducing infusion-related reactions, and eliminating pharmacogenetic effects of FcγRIIIa polymorphisms.
  • This article was published in CNS DRUGS, a division of Adis International (Spring Nature) and the online version of the article can be accessed at CNS DRUGS.

ABOUT
THE
ULTIMATE
I
&
II
PHASE
3
TRIALS

ULTIMATE I & II are two randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, active comparator-controlled clinical trials of identical design, in patients with RMS treated for 96 weeks. Patients were randomized to receive either BRIUMVI, given as an IV infusion of 150 mg administered in four hours, 450 mg two weeks after the first infusion administered in one hour, and 450 mg every 24 weeks administered in one hour, with oral placebo administered daily; or teriflunomide, the active comparator, given orally as a 14 mg daily dose with IV placebo administered on the same schedule as BRIUMVI. Both studies enrolled patients who had experienced at least one relapse in the previous year, two relapses in the previous two years, or had the presence of a T1 gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesion in the previous year. Patients were also required to have an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score from 0 to 5.5 at baseline. The ULTIMATE I & II trials enrolled a total of 1,094 patients with RMS across 10 countries. These trials were led by Lawrence Steinman, MD, Zimmermann Professor of Neurology & Neurological Sciences, and Pediatrics at Stanford University. Additional information on these clinical trials can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03277261; NCT03277248).

ABOUT
BRIUMVI®
(ublituximab-xiiy)
150
mg/6
mL
Injection
for
IV

BRIUMVI is a novel monoclonal antibody that targets a unique epitope on CD20-expressing B-cells. Targeting CD20 using monoclonal antibodies has proven to be an important therapeutic approach for the management of autoimmune disorders, such as RMS. BRIUMVI is uniquely designed to lack certain sugar molecules normally expressed on the antibody. Removal of these sugar molecules, a process called glycoengineering, allows for efficient B-cell depletion at low doses.

BRIUMVI is indicated for the treatment of adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing- remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease.

A list of authorized specialty distributors can be found at www.briumvi.com.

IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INFORMATION

Contraindications:
BRIUMVI
is
contraindicated
in
patients
with:

Active Hepatitis B Virus infection
A history of life-threatening infusion reaction to BRIUMVI

WARNINGS
AND
PRECAUTIONS

Infusion Reactions: BRIUMVI can cause infusion reactions, which can include pyrexia, chills, headache, influenza-like illness, tachycardia, nausea, throat irritation, erythema, and an anaphylactic reaction. In MS clinical trials, the incidence of infusion reactions in BRIUMVI-treated patients who received infusion reaction-limiting premedication prior to each infusion was 48%, with the highest incidence within 24 hours of the first infusion. 0.6% of BRIUMVI-treated patients experienced infusion reactions that were serious, some requiring hospitalization.

Observe treated patients for infusion reactions during the infusion and for at least one hour after the completion of the first two infusions unless infusion reaction and/or hypersensitivity has been observed in association with the current or any prior infusion. Inform patients that infusion reactions can occur up to 24 hours after the infusion. Administer the recommended pre-medication to reduce the frequency and severity of infusion reactions. If life-threatening, stop the infusion immediately, permanently discontinue BRIUMVI, and administer appropriate supportive treatment. Less severe infusion reactions may involve temporarily stopping the infusion, reducing the infusion rate, and/or administering symptomatic treatment.

Infections: Serious, life-threatening or fatal, bacterial and viral infections have been reported in BRIUMVI-treated patients. In MS clinical trials, the overall rate of infections in BRIUMVI-treated patients was 56% compared to 54% in teriflunomide-treated patients. The rate of serious infections was 5% compared to 3% respectively. There were 3 infection-related deaths in BRIUMVI-treated patients. The most common infections in BRIUMVI- treated patients included upper respiratory tract infection (45%) and urinary tract infection (10%). Delay BRIUMVI administration in patients with an active infection until the infection is resolved.

Consider the potential for increased immunosuppressive effects when initiating BRIUMVI after immunosuppressive therapy or initiating an immunosuppressive therapy after BRIUMVI.


Hepatitis


B


Virus


(HBV)


Reactivation:
HBV reactivation occurred in an MS patient treated with BRIUMVI in clinical trials. Fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death caused by HBV reactivation have occurred in patients treated with anti-CD20 antibodies. Perform HBV screening in all patients before initiation of treatment with BRIUMVI. Do not start treatment with BRIUMVI in patients with active HBV confirmed by positive results for HB surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HB tests. For patients who are negative for HBsAg and positive for HB core antibody [HBcAb+] or are carriers of HBV [HBsAg+], consult a liver disease expert before starting and during treatment.


Progressive


Multifocal


Leukoencephalopathy


(PML):
Although no cases of PML have occurred in BRIUMVI-treated MS patients, JCV infection resulting in PML has been observed in patients treated with other anti-CD20 antibodies and other MS therapies.

If PML is suspected, withhold BRIUMVI and perform an appropriate diagnostic evaluation. Typical symptoms associated with PML are diverse, progress over days to weeks, and include progressive weakness on one side of the body or clumsiness of limbs, disturbance of vision, and changes in thinking, memory, and orientation leading to confusion and personality changes.

MRI findings may be apparent before clinical signs or symptoms; monitoring for signs consistent with PML may be useful. Further investigate suspicious findings to allow for an early diagnosis of PML, if present. Following discontinuation of another MS medication associated with PML, lower PML-related mortality and morbidity have been reported in patients who were initially asymptomatic at diagnosis compared to patients who had characteristic clinical signs and symptoms at diagnosis.

If PML is confirmed, treatment with BRIUMVI should be discontinued.


Vaccinations:
Administer all immunizations according to immunization guidelines: for live or live-attenuated vaccines at least 4 weeks and, whenever possible at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of BRIUMVI for non-live vaccines. BRIUMVI may interfere with the effectiveness of non-live vaccines. The safety of immunization with live or live-attenuated vaccines during or following administration of BRIUMVI has not been studied. Vaccination with live virus vaccines is not recommended during treatment and until B-cell repletion.


Vaccination of Infants Born to Mothers Treated with BRIUMVI During Pregnancy:
In infants of mothers exposed to BRIUMVI during pregnancy, assess B-cell counts prior to administration of live or live-attenuated vaccines as measured by CD19+ B-cells. Depletion of B-cells in these infants may increase the risks from live or live-attenuated vaccines. Inactivated or non-live vaccines may be administered prior to B-cell recovery. Assessment of vaccine immune responses, including consultation with a qualified specialist, should be considered to determine whether a protective immune response was mounted.

Fetal
Risk: Based on data from animal studies, BRIUMVI may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Transient peripheral B-cell depletion and lymphocytopenia have been reported in infants born to mothers exposed to other anti-CD20 B-cell depleting antibodies during pregnancy. A pregnancy test is recommended in females of reproductive potential prior to each infusion. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during BRIUMVI treatment and for 6 months after the last dose.

Reduction in Immunoglobulins: As expected with any B-cell depleting therapy, decreased immunoglobulin levels were observed. Decrease in immunoglobulin M (IgM) was reported in 0.6% of BRIUMVI-treated patients compared to none of the patients treated with teriflunomide in RMS clinical trials. Monitor the levels of quantitative serum immunoglobulins during treatment, especially in patients with opportunistic or recurrent infections, and after discontinuation of therapy until B-cell repletion. Consider discontinuing BRIUMVI therapy if a patient with low immunoglobulins develops a serious opportunistic infection or recurrent infections, or if prolonged hypogammaglobulinemia requires treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins.

Most
Common
Adverse
Reactions: The most common adverse reactions in RMS trials (incidence of at least 10%) were infusion reactions and upper respiratory tract infections.

Domino’s® Extends Partnership with Indie Agency WorkInProgress Through 2027

PR Newswire

Together, Domino’s and WorkInProgress have navigated a post-pandemic world, helping Domino’s face economic and categorical headwinds to maintain its No. 1 position


ANN ARBOR, Mich.
, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Domino’s Pizza Inc. (Nasdaq: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world, has extended its contract with U.S. agency of record WorkInProgress (WIP) through 2027, following four successful years together. The independent agency, based in Boulder, Colorado, will lead strategic and creative duties spanning all brand touchpoints, which now includes social AOR duties.  

“We have one of the rarest agency partnerships in the history of our industry,” said Kate Trumbull, Domino’s executive vice president – chief marketing officer. “WorkInProgress’ team, many of whom have worked on the brand for more than 10 years, brings both institutional knowledge and a relentless work-in-progress passion to keep taking bold action and making breakthrough advertising that never stops. This all-in mentality, combined with their creative talent, has made them a critical part of bringing our Hungry for M.O.R.E. strategy to life.”

With the relationship beginning in 2021, together Domino’s and WorkInProgress have navigated a post-pandemic world, leveraging renowned value to drive orders via successful action-based campaigns that turn value into “talk value.”

Highlights include:

  • Surprise Frees – Giving away more than $50 million in Surprise Free items to customers who ordered delivery from Domino’s, rather than hitting them with surprise fees like delivery aggregators.
  • Mind Ordering – Partnering with Netflix’s “Stranger Things” to develop a new app that let users order pizza without ever touching the screen, just like Eleven in the show, and partnering with Oscar-nominated director Ted Melfi to film a two-minute behind-the-scenes video and 360 campaign to promote the app, Domino’s, and the launch of season four.
  • Carryout Tips – Combating post-pandemic delivery staffing shortages by turning Domino’s customers into their own delivery drivers, and tipping them when they carried out.
  • Emergency Pizza 1.0 – Giving customers a free Emergency Pizza to use when they need it most (when they ordered from Domino’s), turning a buy-one-get-one-later coupon into one of Domino’s most successful promotions of all time.
  • You Tip, We Tip – Helping relieve tipping fatigue by tipping customers $3 back when they tipped their delivery drivers.
  • MOREflation – Giving customers more when other brands were giving them less – known as shrinkflation – by upgrading a medium pizza to a large for free.
  • Emergency Pizza 2.0 – Bringing Emergency Pizza to more places than ever, like partnering with football superstar Stefon Diggs to give away $1 million in free Emergency Pizzas to fantasy football managers who drafted him only to have their seasons ruined by his injury. Or creating a full 360 campaign that took Emergency Pizza into the world of Netflix’s biggest show of all time – “Squid Games.”

Over the past four years, Domino’s has outpaced many QSR brands during a time of economic uncertainty, maintaining its standing as the No. 1 pizza company in the world while also becoming the No. 1 carryout pizza brand in the United States, and setting new benchmarks for the brand, like garnering over 5 billion earned media impressions for a single campaign – Emergency Pizza – the most in the company’s history.

“We obsess over the brand like it were our own company,” said Matt Talbot, co-founder and chief creative officer at WorkInProgress. “After all, we’re a small business just like the hundreds of Domino’s franchisees that we serve across the country. The Domino’s team welcomes us to the table and continues to take calculated yet bold swings that set them apart from their competition. We’re so thankful we get to work with such smart, kind, pizza-obsessed people every day. It’s a dream come true and a major part of our culture here at WorkInProgress.”

“Many agencies claim to be more than advertising partners, with buzzwords like ‘consultants’ and ‘brand growth hackers.’ But WorkInProgress wakes up every day and proves it,” said Trumbull. “The team at WIP are true Dominoids to the core, as we like to call ourselves, and we can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings.”

About Domino’s Pizza®
Founded in 1960, Domino’s Pizza is the largest pizza company in the world, with a significant business in both delivery and carryout. It ranks among the world’s top public restaurant brands with a global enterprise of more than 21,300 stores in over 90 markets. Domino’s had global retail sales of over $19.1 billion in 2024. Its system is comprised of independent franchise owners who accounted for 99% of Domino’s stores as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. In the U.S., Domino’s generated more than 85% of U.S. retail sales in 2024 via digital channels and has developed many innovative ordering platforms.
