In January 2023, TG launched BRIUMVI® (ublituximab-xiiy), an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), which generated $89 million of U.S. net revenue in 2023.

An additional facility of up to $100 million is available at the mutual option of TG and HCRx / Blue Owl.
“We have been impressed with TG Therapeutics’ launch of BRIUMVI over the past 18 months,” stated Clarke B. Futch, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman at HCRx. “We believe our loan investment is well collateralized and provides TG Therapeutics with meaningful capital to support its business objectives.”
“We are pleased to invest in TG Therapeutics as it continues to demonstrate strong commercial momentum with BRIUMVI,” said Sandip Agarwala, Managing Director at Blue Owl. “This loan investment is a great example of our scaled and structurally flexible approach in the life sciences sector.”
