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 in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with RMS, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease and in the EU and UK for the treatment of adult patients with RMS with active disease defined by clinical or imaging features. A list of authorized specialty distributors can be found at 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 HB surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HB tests. For patients who are negative for 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, JC virus 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.

More information about the BRIUMVI Patient Support program can be accessed at www.briumvipatientsupport.com.ABOUT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Relapsing 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 ABOUT TG THERAPEUTICSTG Therapeutics is a fully integrated, commercial stage, biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of novel treatments for B-cell diseases.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2025. "Demand for our products was strong globally in the first quarter. Ongoing new product launches and successful Phase 3 trial results for several products make us feel confident in our long-term growth prospects," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer. Key results include: For the first quarter, total revenues increased 9% to $8.1 billion in comparison to the first quarter of 2024. Product sales grew 11%, primarily driven by 14% volume growth, partially offset by 6% lower net selling price. U.S. sales grew 14%. Fourteen products delivered at least double-digit sales growth in the first quarter, including Repatha® (evolocumab), BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab), TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab-ekko), EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg), TAVNEOS® (avacopan) and UPLIZNA® (inebilizumab-cdon). Our launch of IMDELLTRA ® (tarlatamab-dlle) generated $81 million of sales in the quarter and the Phase 3 confirmatory study demonstrated improved overall survival compared to chemotherapy. IMDELLTRA ® launched in Japan in April 2025. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) were $3.20 for the first quarter of 2025 compared with a GAAP loss per share of $0.21 for the first quarter of 2024, resulting from an unrealized gain on our BeiGene, Ltd. equity investment during the first quarter of 2025 compared to an unrealized loss during the prior year period, partially offset by an Otezla® intangible asset impairment charge of $800 million recorded during the first quarter of 2025. GAAP operating income increased from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 1.1 percentage points to 15.0%. Non-GAAP EPS increased 24% from $3.96 to $4.90, driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Non-GAAP operating income increased from $3.1 billion to $3.6 billion and non-GAAP operating margin increased 2.5 percentage points to 45.7%. The Company generated $1.0 billion of free cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 versus $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024. This increase reflects an $800 million tax deposit made in the first quarter of 2024 and current quarter business performance, partially offset by timing of working capital items and higher capital expenditures. References in this release to "non-GAAP" measures, measures presented "on a non-GAAP basis," and "free cash flow" (computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow) refer to non-GAAP financial measures. Adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other items are presented in the attached reconciliations. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further discussion. Product Sales Performance General Medicine Repatha® (evolocumab) sales increased 27% year-over-year to $656 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by 41% volume growth, partially offset by 9% lower net selling price.

Prolia® (denosumab) sales increased 10% year-over-year to $1.1 billion in the first quarter, primarily driven by 13% volume growth, partially offset by 5% lower net selling price. For 2025, we expect sales erosion driven by biosimilar competition, particularly in the second half of the year. Rare Disease TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw) sales decreased 10% year-over-year to $381 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by 9% lower volume and 8% from a decrease in inventory levels, partially offset by higher net selling price. KRYSTEXXA® (pegloticase) sales were flat year-over-year at $236 million in the first quarter, as 11% volume growth was offset by 10% from a decrease in inventory levels. UPLIZNA® (inebilizumab-cdon) sales increased 14% year-over-year to $91 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by volume growth. TAVNEOS® (avacopan) sales increased 76% year-over-year to $90 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by volume growth. Ultra-Rare products, which consist of RAVICTI® (glycerol phenylbutyrate), PROCYSBI® (cysteamine bitartrate), ACTIMMUNE® (interferon gamma-1b), BUPHENYL® (sodium phenylbutyrate) and QUINSAIR® (levofloxacin), generated $179 million of sales in the first quarter. Sales increased 6% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by volume growth. Inflammation TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab-ekko) sales increased 65% year-over-year to $285 million in the first quarter, driven by volume growth. Otezla® (apremilast) sales increased 11% year-over-year to $437 million in the first quarter, driven by 12% favorable changes to estimated sales deductions, as volume growth of 4% was offset by 5% lower net selling price. Enbrel® (etanercept) sales decreased 10% year-over-year to $510 million in the first quarter, driven by 47% lower net selling price resulting from increased 340B Program mix and higher commercial discounts, partially offset by 19% favorable changes to estimated sales deductions, higher inventory levels and volume growth. The year-over-year impact on net selling price is expected to be less pronounced in future quarters. AMJEVITA® (adalimumab-atto)/AMGEVITA™ (adalimumab) sales decreased 19% year-over-year to $136 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by 33% lower net selling price, partially offset by 11% volume growth. WEZLANA™ (ustekinumab-auub)/WEZENLA™ (ustekinumab) generated $150 million of sales in the first quarter. WEZLANA launched in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2025 and is the first FDA-approved biosimilar for the treatment of adult and pediatric plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

KYPROLIS® (carfilzomib) sales decreased 14% year-over-year to $324 million in the first quarter, driven by lower volumes due to increased competition. LUMAKRAS®/LUMYKRAS™ (sotorasib) sales increased 4% year-over-year to $85 million in the first quarter, driven by volume growth, partially offset by lower net selling price. XGEVA® (denosumab) sales increased 1% year-over-year to $566 million in the first quarter. For 2025, we expect sales erosion driven by biosimilar competition, particularly in the second half of the year. Nplate® (romiplostim) sales decreased 1% year-over-year to $313 million in the first quarter as volume growth was more than offset by unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions and foreign exchange impact. IMDELLTRA® (tarlatamab-dlle)/IMDYLLTRA™ (tarlatamab) generated $81 million of sales in the first quarter. Sales increased 21% quarter-over-quarter driven by volume growth. MVASI® (bevacizumab-awwb) sales decreased 11% year-over-year to $179 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by lower volume. Going forward, we expect continued sales erosion driven by competition. Established Products Our established products, which consist of Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa), Parsabiv® (etelcalcetide) and Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim), generated $557 million of sales in the first quarter. Sales decreased 3% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by 10% lower net selling price and 3% unfavorable foreign exchange impact, partially offset by favorable changes to estimated sales deductions. Product Sales Detail by Product and Geographic Region Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis On a GAAP basis: Total Operating Expenses increased 8% year-over-year for the first quarter. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales decreased 7.3 percentage points driven by lower amortization expense from the fair value step-up of inventory acquired from Horizon and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by changes in our sales mix. Research & Development (R&D) expenses increased 11% driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs, partially offset by lower spend in marketed product support and research and early pipeline. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 7% driven by lower commercial product-related expenses and lower Horizon acquisition-related expenses, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses. Other operating expenses consisted primarily of the Otezla® intangible asset impairment charge of $800 million. Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales increased 1.1 percentage points in the first quarter to 15.0%. Tax Rate increased 78.5 percentage points in the first quarter due to the change in earnings mix as a result of the first quarter 2025 unrealized gains compared to the first quarter 2024 unrealized losses on our equity investments, primarily BeiGene. On a non-GAAP basis: Total Operating Expenses increased 4% year-over-year for the first quarter. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales decreased 0.8 percentage points driven by lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by changes in our sales mix. R&D expenses increased 12% driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs, partially offset by lower spend in marketed product support and research and early pipeline. SG&A expenses decreased 3% driven by lower commercial product-related expenses, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses. Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales increased 2.5 percentage points in the first quarter to 45.7%. Tax Rate decreased 0.8 percentage points in the first quarter due to the change in earnings mix and net favorable items as compared to the prior year. Cash Flow and Balance Sheet The Company generated $1.0 billion of free cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 versus $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024. This increase reflects an $800 million tax deposit made in the first quarter of 2024 and current quarter business performance, partially offset by timing of working capital items and higher capital expenditures. The Company declared a first quarter 2025 dividend on December 10, 2024 of $2.38 that was paid on March 7, 2025 to all stockholders of record as of February 14, 2025, representing a 6% increase from the same period in 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company reduced principal debt outstanding by $2.8 billion. During the first quarter, there were no repurchases of shares of common stock. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.8 billion and debt outstanding totaled $57.4 billion as of March 31, 2025. 2025 Guidance For the full year 2025, the Company expects: Total revenues in the range of $34.3 billion to $35.7 billion. On a GAAP basis, EPS in the range of $12.21 to $13.46, and a tax rate in the range of 11.0% to 12.5%. On a non-GAAP basis, EPS in the range of $20.00 to $21.20, and a tax rate in the range of 14.5% to 16.0%. Capital expenditures to be approximately $2.3 billion. Share repurchases not to exceed $500 million. This guidance includes the estimated impact of implemented tariffs, but does not account for any tariffs that could be implemented in the future, including potential sector-specific tariffs. First Quarter Product and Pipeline Update The Company provided the following updates on selected product and pipeline programs: General Medicine MariTide (maridebart cafraglutide, AMG 133) MariTide is a differentiated peptide-antibody conjugate that activates the glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor and antagonizes the gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (GIPR).

Though the trial missed its primary endpoint, Immunic pointed to other positive results from the study to suggest that IMU-838 could succeed in phase 3.\n Immunic’s lead oral small molecule has failed to hit the primary endpoint of a phase 2 trial in patients with progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS), but the New York biotech is pointing to other measures from the study as reason to continue developing the asset.Vidofludimus calcium, called IMU-838 by Immunic, showed only a “modest benefit” of 5% over placebo at improving the yearly rate of percent brain volume change in patients with PMS after the approximately two-year treatment period, Immunic said in an April 30 press release. This measure of brain volume change is the primary endpoint of the still-ongoing phase 2 Calliper trial, which has enrolled 467 patients with PMS. The treatment period followed patients for about 120 weeks, while an open-label extension will continue for up to eight years.The company did not disclose the statistical significance of the result, but a spokesperson confirmed that the trial missed its primary goal.During an April 30 webinar about the top-line results, Immunic CEO Daniel Vitt, Ph.D., dismissed the primary endpoint, saying the measure had fallen behind current scientific advancements.\"Nobody should care at all about whole brain volume change anymore,\" Vitt said. \"This is a little bit of a leftover of our design of a study we did five years ago.\"Though IMU-838 had a marginal effect on reducing whole brain volume loss, patients receiving the drug candidate did see a 20% reduction in loss of the thalamus, Immunic said. \"Change in thalamic volume is considered a more sensitive MRI atrophy marker,\" Immunic said in the release. \"Thalamic atrophy is prevalent in PMS and data has shown strong associations with clinical disability progression.\"Daily oral 45-mg doses of IMU-838 also reduced the risk of a patient experiencing an event that worsened their disability for at least 24 weeks by 20% compared to placebo, as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score, Immunic reported. This figure jumped to 30% when focusing on the subset of patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), whose disease did not start with the more common relapsing MS (RMS).The time to 24-week confirmed disability worsening based on EDSS is a secondary endpoint of the trial. Immunic did not disclose detailed data in its communications about the top-line results. Results for another secondary endpoint, an MRI measure of change in brain parenchymal fraction, have also not been disclosed yet.\"We ourselves have not seen all data from all endpoints yet and we will continue to receive them over the next weeks and months to come,\" Vitt said in the webinar.The frequency of adverse events in the group of patients receiving treatment was similar to the rate in the placebo group, according to the company\'s release.“We are particularly thrilled to see such a clinically meaningful effect in the PPMS population,” Vitt said in the release, noting “the relative risk of 24-week confirmed disability worsening events” would be the primary endpoint of a potential future phase 3 study.“We look forward to discussing these results with healthcare authorities to determine appropriate next steps for vidofludimus calcium in PMS,” Vitt added. Analysts from William Blair wrote April 30 that \"with usual cross-trial comparison caveats, in our view, vidofludimus calcium demonstrated a competitive risk/benefit profile\" compared to Genentech\'s Ocrevus (ocrelizumab), Novartis\' Mayzent (siponimod) and Sanofi\'s experimental tolebrutinib.\"The FDA appears to be focused on confirmed disability worsening endpoints where vidofludimus compares well in the PPMS population,\" the analysts wrote.Immunic\'s stock price dropped sharply after the data reveal, from $1.41 per share in the evening of April 29 to 99 cents per share by 2 p.m. EDT on April 30.William Blair analysts attributed this stock drop to concerns about Immunic\'s ability to fund a phase 3 trial for IMU-838; the company reported $35.7 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, which is expected to fund the company through the third quarter of this year.\"We acknowledge the financing overhang is material and Immunic will likely need a partner and/or additional capital to fund future phase III studies,\" the analysts wrote.Most patients with MS have relapsing MS, where symptoms like numbness, fatigue, vision changes and brain fog periodically flare up. In progressive MS, these symptoms instead gradually worsen over time; flare-ups may still happen but are less common. Relapsing MS can develop into progressive MS over time, called secondary progressive MS, but about 10% of MS patients are diagnosed with primary progressive MS without first having any relapsing symptoms.IMU-838 is also currently in a pair of phase 3 trials in RMS, after previously hitting the primary endpoint of reducing brain lesions in a phase 2 trial. The phase 3 trials are analyzing the time to first symptom relapse as the primary endpoint.Immunic’s phase 3 RMS program recently underwent an interim futility analysis, the company said in October 2024, with the independent data monitoring committee determining that no changes to the trial protocol were needed.In addition to MS, Immunic is also testing IMU-838 in a phase 2 ulcerative colitis trial. The company has two other drug candidates in development, one clinical-stage asset for celiac disease and other gastrointestinal disorders and another preclinical gastrointestinal asset.This is, however, a more narrow focus for the biotech, which in 2023 revealed that it was deprioritizing development in psoriasis and castration-resistant prostate cancer and throwing its remaining resources to multiple sclerosis and celiac disease.
