ABOUT THE
ULTIMATE I &
II PHASE 3
TRIALSULTIMATE 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
IVBRIUMVI 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.

www.briumvi.com.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATIONContraindications:
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 HBsAg
and anti-HB tests. For patients who are negative for surface
premedantigen [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.

ABOUT MULTIPLE
SCLEROSISRelapsing 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
