TG Therapeutics Announces Positive Topline Results from Phase 3 ENHANCE Trial
Phase 3 trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating bioequivalent drug exposure between the currently approved BRIUMVI Day 1 and Day 15 initiation dosing and a new single infusion on Day 1 only
Safety and tolerability of the consolidated first infusion were consistent with the established BRIUMVI safety profile
Supplemental BLA filing targeted 2H-2026
NEW YORK, May 27, 2026 -- TG Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGTX), today announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 ENHANCE trial, a randomized, double-blind study evaluating a consolidated single infusion regimen for initiation of BRIUMVI® (ublituximab-xiiy) in adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS). The trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating bioequivalent drug exposure between the currently approved initiation dosing regimen of 150 mg on Day 1 and 450 mg on Day 15 and a consolidated single 600 mg infusion on Day 1, eliminating the need for a Day 15 infusion. Topline outcomes from the ENHANCE Phase 3 study are highlighted below, and full results are expected to be presented at an upcoming medical meeting.
Michael S. Weiss, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TG Therapeutics, stated: “We are very pleased to share these positive results from our ENHANCE Phase 3 trial. By eliminating the need for a second infusion visit two weeks after treatment initiation, this streamlined dosing regimen has the potential to accelerate time from prescription to treatment and reduce scheduling burdens at busy infusion centers. If this consolidated dosing is approved, BRIUMVI would be the first and only IV anti-CD20 for which therapy can be initiated with a single infusion.”
Mr. Weiss continued, “People living with RMS already manage significant complexity in their daily lives, and we believe treatment simplicity also matters. These results reflect our broader commitment not only to developing effective therapies, but also to improving the treatment experience for patients and healthcare providers. We look forward to engaging with regulatory authorities regarding these data, with the goal of submitting a supplemental BLA in the second half of 2026.”
OVERVIEW OF THE ENHANCE PHASE 3 STUDY AND KEY FINDINGS
Design:
The Phase 3b ENHANCE trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and MRI outcomes of a consolidated first infusion regimen of BRIUMVI.
The primary endpoint of the study is to demonstrate bioequivalent overall drug exposure between a single 600 mg Day 1 infusion of BRIUMVI and the currently approved dosing regimen of 150 mg on Day 1 followed by 450 mg on Day 15. Overall drug exposure was measured by area under the serum concentration—time curve from baseline through Week 16 (AUC 0-Wk16). AUC values within each treatment arm are summarized using geometric means and then compared between treatment arms using a ratio of those geometric means (GMR).
Participants were randomized into one of two treatment arms:
|
● |
the approved BRIUMVI initiation regimen of 150 mg on Day 1 and 450 mg on Day 15; or |
|
● |
a new consolidated BRIUMVI initiation regimen of a single 600 mg infusion on Day 1 only and a placebo infusion on Day 15 |
All subsequent maintenance dosing in both treatment arms followed the currently approved BRIUMVI prescribing information. With both arms receiving the same cumulative dose of 600 mg through Day 15, the study was designed to ensure that comparable drug exposure was achieved across both treatment arms. Secondary endpoints included safety, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy.
Key Findings:
|
● |
The trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating bioequivalence between the new single Day 1 BRIUMVI infusion regimen and the currently approved initiation regimen administered on Days 1 and 15. Total drug exposure over 16 weeks (AUC 0-Wk16) was comparable between treatment arms, with a geometric mean ratio (GMR) of approximately 1.0 and a 90% confidence interval within the protocol-defined bioequivalence range of 0.80 to 1.25. |
|
● |
Secondary endpoints, including safety, B-cell depletion, and MRI outcomes, were consistent with prior BRIUMVI clinical studies and comparable between treatment arms through the primary assessment period with no new safety signals observed. Infusion-related reactions in both arms were lower than previously reported in the ULTIMATE I and II approval studies for BRIUMVI, with no Grade 3 or higher infusion reactions occurring in either arm. In addition, infusion-related reactions were statistically indistinguishable between treatment arms in this study with fewer infusion reactions observed in the consolidated single-infusion treatment arm. |
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 in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with RMS, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease and in several foreign nations for the treatment of adult patients with RMS with active disease defined by clinical or imaging features.

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): PML is an opportunistic viral infection of the brain caused by the JC virus (JCV) that typically only occurs in patients who are immunocompromised, and that usually leads to death or severe disability. JCV infection resulting in PML has been observed in patients treated with anti-CD20 antibodies, including BRIUMVI, 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. 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.
Liver Injury: Clinically significant liver injury, without findings of viral hepatitis, has been reported in the postmarketing setting in patients treated with anti-CD20 B-cell depleting therapies approved for the treatment of MS, including BRIUMVI. Signs of liver injury, including markedly elevated serum hepatic enzymes with elevated total bilirubin, have occurred from weeks to months after administration.
Patients treated with BRIUMVI found to have an alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) or aspartate
aminotransferase (AST) greater than 3x the upper limit of normal (ULN) with serum total
bilirubin greater than 2x ULN are potentially at risk for severe drug-induced liver injury.
Obtain liver function tests prior to initiating treatment with BRIUMVI, and monitor for signs and symptoms of any hepatic injury during treatment. Measure serum aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin levels promptly in patients who report symptoms that may indicate liver injury, including new or worsening fatigue, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, right upper abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice. If liver injury is present and an alternative etiology is not identified, discontinue BRIUMVI.
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.

ABOUT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and includes people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and people with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) who continue to experience relapses. RRMS is the most common form of multiple sclerosis (MS) and is characterized by episodes of new or worsening signs or symptoms (relapses) followed by periods of recovery. It is estimated that nearly 1 million people are living with MS in the United States and approximately 85% are initially diagnosed with RRMS.1,2 The majority of people who are diagnosed with RRMS will eventually transition to SPMS, in which they experience steadily worsening disability over time. Worldwide, more than 2.3 million people have a diagnosis of MS.1
