04/21/21 • 33 min
TG Therapeutics is a B-cell focused company that has recently seen massive successes with their two lead compounds Umbralisib (UKONIQ) and Ublituximab. In this episode, I'm pleased to welcome CEO of TG Therapeutics, Michael Weiss. Michael and I discuss the company's commercial strategy since the FDA approval of UKONIQ in Marginal Zone Lymphoma and Follicular Lymphoma. We also talk about the recent positive data that was seen in the effects of Ublituximab in Relapsed Multiple Sclerosis. Finally, we discuss the company's early/preclinical pipeline, which includes a number of exciting molecules that could continue to make them a strong player in B-cell indications.
