MS drug delivery showdown: belly vs. thigh, pen vs. syringe
NCT ID NCT07503873
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called ublituximab, given as a shot under the skin, in 350 people with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Researchers want to see how the drug moves through the body when injected in different spots (like the belly or thigh) and whether an autoinjector pen works as well as a regular syringe. The goal is to find the safest and most convenient way to give the medicine.
Why investors are watching
TG Therapeutics is testing whether its multiple sclerosis drug ublituximab can be given as a shot under the skin using a prefilled pen instead of a syringe. This matters because a pen could make the drug easier for patients to use at home, which could broaden its appeal. For a small company, this phase 2 study is a key step in expanding the drug's value beyond its current use.
If it works: If the study shows the pen delivers the drug as effectively as a syringe and is safe, TG Therapeutics could have a more convenient product option. That could help the company compete for patients who prefer an easier injection method.
If it fails: The trial could fail to show the pen works as well as a syringe, or the drug could cause safety problems at different injection sites. Trials often fail, and a poor result could set back the company's plans for this delivery method.
