Ublituximab-xiiy as a treatment option for relapsing multiple sclerosis.

Ublituximab is a rapid-acting and effective anti-inflammatory option as a treatment in people with relapsing MS that significantly reduced the annualized relapse rate and MRI-based disease activity. When compared to the Phase III trials of the other two anti-CD20 mAbs (ocrelizumab and ofatumumab), ublituximab did not result with reduction of 3 or 6-month confirmed disability progression. These differences may be attributed to the overall low rate of progression in both the ublituximab and the active comparator teriflunomide arm. Future data from open-label extensions are warranted. There was no significant reduction of ublituximab on whole-brain atrophy compared to teriflunomide.
