[0115] The following examples are offered by way of illustration, and not by way of limitation. 8. EXAMPLES 8.1 Example 1—Glycosylation Profile

[0116] The glycosylation profile of a sample of anti-CD20 antibody proteins provided herein was determined by measuring fluorescently labeled N-glycans (fluorescent label is 2- aminobenzamide) that were enzymatically cleaved from the anti-CD20 antibody proteins using PNGase F. The labeled glycans are resolved using a hydrophilic interaction column equipped. The glycans flow through a fluorescence detector after separation. Peak identification from the test sample chromatograms is identified based on retention time and relative to peaks in the glycan standard which have been confirmed by mass spectrometry. The relative percentage of each N-glycan is calculated based on the N-glycan peak area divided by the total peak area of all N-glycans. The glycosylation profile is shown in Figure 2. 8.2 Example 2—Intact mass method

[0117] The glycosylation profile of anti-CD20 antibody proteins provided herein was assessed by intact mass analysis (LC-MS) under non-reducing conditions. The sample of anti- CD20 antibody proteins provided herein is first exchanged into MS appropriate buffers during the chromatography step using SEC and a mobile phase containing TFA, acetonitrile, and water. The sample is then introduced into an ESI-QTOF for intact mass analysis. The mass spectra are deconvoluted and the peaks are assigned based on mass. The relative abundance of each anti- CD20 antibody proteins provided herein containing N-glycan was calculated by taking the abundance of an N-glycan and dividing by the total abundance of all identified peaks. Results are provided in the table below and in Figure 3.Attorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 Table 1.

[0118] In this Example, the manufacturing process for TG-1101 expressed inrat hybridoma cells at 15,000 L is described.

[0119] The host cell line used for generation of the TG-1101 producing cell line was the rat cell line YB2 / 0. The production cell line, R603-12D11, was developed after transfecting the expression vector HK463-25 (containing the immunoglobulin heavy and light chain cDNA sequences of TG-1101) into the YB2 / 0 host cell line. Figure 4 depicts the expression vector map of HK463-25 to produce TG-1101, in a 15,000 L bioreactor. An overview of the manufacturing process for TG-1101 is illustrated in the flow diagram of Figure 5.

[0120] In summary, the production of each batch of TG-1101 began with the thaw of a working cell back (WCB) vial. The culture was expanded through a series of shake flasks and seed bioreactors to meet the inoculum requirements of the 15,000 L production bioreactor, which was operated in fed-batch mode. The bioreactor was harvested and clarified by centrifugation followed by depth filtration. The clarified harvest was purified by three chromatography steps including Protein A, cation exchange, and anion exchange, designed to purify the TG-1101 and to reduce process impurities such as host cell protein and residual DNA. The purification process contained steps to ensure viral safety including viral inactivation (solvent / detergent) and a viralAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 filtration step. Final ultrafiltration / diafiltration (UFDF) and formulation steps were used to concentrate and buffer exchange TG-1101 into the formulation buffer and to the desired product concentration. The ready to fill drug substance was formulated to obtain TG-1101 at a concentration of 25.0 mg / mL in 25 mM sodium citrate, 154 mM sodium chloride, 0.07% polysorbate 80, pH 6.5. After filling, the TG-1101 drug substance was frozen at -60°C and then stored frozen at -35°C.

No. 18 / 167,631, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein. 8.4 Example 4— Pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic evaluation of a single intravenous or subcutaneous dose of ublituximab in patients with multiple sclerosis

[0122] This Example describes a 120-week, Phase 1 multi-center study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), safety, and tolerability of ublituximab in patients newly starting ublituximab treatment. The subcutaneous administration of ublituximab is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 study. It is a 2-part study which is evaluating the bioavailability and tolerability of ublituximab administered subcutaneously in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS).

[0123] In Part 1, the PK / PD, safety and tolerability of a single subcutaneous (SC) dose of ublituximab on Day 1 is evaluated followed by intravenous (IV) dosing of 450 mg IV on Day 15, Week 24 and every 24 weeks thereafter in line with the approved BRIUMVI IV dose regimen. The SC dose administered on Day 1 was dose escalated in cohorts ranging from 50 mg SC to 300 mg SC.

[0124] In Part 2, the PK / PD, tolerability, safety, and efficacy of a fully subcutaneous regimen of ublituximab is evaluated, with subcutaneous doses administered every 8 or 12 weeks after the initial doses on Day 1 and Day 15. Rationale for the Study

[0125] Ublituximab is a type I chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the trans-membrane CD20 antigen found on CD20 expressing B-lymphocytes. Ublituximab is glycoengineered, producing a low fucose content in its fragment crystallizable (Fc) region. TheAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 exclusion of specific fucose molecules in the Fc region enhances its affinity for all variants ofFc RIIIa receptors, activates natural killer (NK)-cell function and results in enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) relative to other approved anti-CD20 antibodies. In in vitro studies, ublituximab demonstrated 25 to 30 times increased ADCC relative to other anti- CD20 therapies. See, Alvarez, E. et al. Reduced Disease Progression With Ublituximab vs Teriflunomide in the Phase 3 ULTIMATE I and II Studies in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis. In: CMSC (2022).

[0126] Two identical, randomized, active-controlled studies (ULTIMATE I and ULTIMATE II) demonstrated significant efficacy outcomes of ublituximab versus teriflunomide in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). See, Steinman, L. et al., N Engl J Med.387(8):704-714 (2022). Particularly, ublituximab treatment was associated with a 54% relative reduction in annualized relapse rate (ARR) compared to teriflunomide, and approximately 96% and 91% relative reductions in T1 gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesions and new or enlarging T2 lesions (all significant), respectively.

[0127] Based on these studies, the FDA-approved administration schedule of ublituximab is as follows: 150 mg initial dose on Day 1 (4-hour intravenous (IV) infusion) followed by a 450 mg dose on Day 15 (1 hour IV infusion), and 450 mg (1 hour IV infusion) every 24 weeks thereafter.

[0128] To increase treatment options available to patients and physicians, a subcutaneous (SC) formulation of ublituximab has been developed. The pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) of a single initial dose of SC ublituximab and a single initial dose of IV ublituximab is being assessed in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients previously untreated with ublituximab.

[0138] This is a 120-week, Phase 1 multi-center study designed to evaluate the PK, PD, safety, and tolerability of ublituximab in patients newly starting ublituximab treatment. The study evaluates different cohorts of participants receiving an initial dose of either IV or SC ublituximab followed by subsequent doses of IV ublituximab in line with the dosing regimen outlined in Table 2 below. The dose of SC ublituximab is escalated (see Table 2) and then refined to assess tolerability, PK and PD. Table 2. Part 1 Initial Dose EscalationAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1Note: Total number of participants enrolled in each cohort and the advancement of cohorts will be based on tolerability and / or PK / PD considerations. SC1 through SC5 will be enrolled sequentially. IV cohort may enroll intermittently at times when SC cohorts are not open for enrollment. Not all cohorts may be opened for enrollment based on PK / PD and safety considerations and cohorts may be expanded as needed.

[0139] Participants are assigned to a cohort during the screening period, starting at the 50 mg SC dose and escalating through the first five SC cohorts as shown in the table above. PK, PD and safety data (i.e., incidence, severity, and type of local and systemic IRRs) are continuously reviewed from all cohorts. Enrollment into cohorts is initiated based on the Sponsor’s and / or treating physician’s assessment of tolerability, PK and PD data. Following dosing of the first participant in SC1 through SC5, a 48-hour observation period to review safety and tolerability data is utilized before dosing subsequent participants in the same cohort. Study duration is expected to be 120 weeks and will include PK, PD and safety assessments throughout.

[0140] The Principal Investigator (PI) and / or Treating Neurologist (TN) will be responsible for participant eligibility evaluation, supervision of study drug administration, assessment, and treatment of adverse events (AEs), and monitoring of safety assessments, including laboratory results.

[0141] Subsequently, PK / PD modeling will be performed to determine a SC dose of ublituximab that demonstrates PK bioequivalence to the 150 mg ublituximab IV dose. If the model-informed bioequivalent SC dose was not previously evaluated in cohorts SC1 – SC5, PK will be confirmed by enrolling 6-12 participants into an intermediate cohort (Model Informed [MI] dose), selected from among the doses in the table below. Upon confirmation of bioequivalence, expansion of the MI dose cohort may continue with a reduced PK sampling schedule, enrolling up to 50 additional RMS participants at the selected bioequivalent dose.Attorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 Table 3. Part 1 Dose Confirmation and ExpansionNOTE: If the model informed bioequivalent dose is determined to be one of the doses evaluated in SC1-SC5, the PK Confirmation cohort will not be enrolled. Instead, participants may be enrolled at the model informed dose level directly into the Expansion (reduced PK) cohort.

[0142] Participants may be screened up to 28 days prior to the first dosing date (Day 1). Study duration is expected to be 120 weeks. PART 2: Full Subcutaneous Regimen PK / PD

[0143] This is a 108-week, Phase 1 single-arm multi-center study designed to evaluate the PK, PD, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a fully subcutaneous dosing regimen of ublituximab in participants with RMS who are newly starting ublituximab treatment.

[0144] Part 2 leverages PK / PD and tolerability data generated in Part 1 to evaluate a fully SC dose regimen of ublituximab that is expected result in similar exposure across 24 weeks to the approved IV regimen. Assuming dose linearity and no accumulation, two 225 mg IV doses administered 12 weeks apart are expected to match the exposure of a single 450 mg IV dose across 24 weeks. Therefore, an SC dosing regimen expected to be bioequivalent to 225 mg IV, administered every 12 weeks following the initial doses on Day 1 and Day 15, was evaluated in Part 2.

[0145] On Day 1, participants received the SC dose of ublituximab which has been identified in Part 1 to be bioequivalent to 150 mg IV.

[0146] On Day 15, Week 12 and every 12 weeks thereafter up to Week 96, SC doses were approximately 1.5 times the dose administered on Day 1 resulted in exposures comparable to 225 mg administered intravenously. Assuming the bioavailability of subcutaneous ublituximabAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 administration is between 50-85%, the model-informed bioequivalent dose administered every 12 weeks subcutaneously was between 265 and 450 mg. The exact dose was confirmed upon modeling of the PK data obtained in Part 1, and was communicated to sites upon opening of Part 2.

[0147] The dosing schedule for Part 2 followed the regimen outlined in the table below. Approximately 6-12 participants were enrolled initially to confirm the PK of the proposed subcutaneous dosing regimen. Additional participants may be enrolled in an expansion cohort with reduced PK sampling to further evaluate safety and efficacy. Table 4. Part 2 Study Design

[0148] Participants may be screened up to 28 days prior to the first dosing date (Day 1). Study duration is expected to be 108 weeks. Study Duration

[0149] The study is expected to take approximately 4 years to complete. This includes an estimated 18 months of enrollment and 120 weeks of study duration for Part 1 and 108 weeks for Part 2. The study will end at the Last Patient Last Visit (LPLV) although the primary analysis for Part 1 and Part 2 will take place after evaluable subjects complete the Week 24 visit.

Blood samples should be drawn from all participants at the study timepoints described in Table 5 below.Attorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 Table 5. Timepoints for PK collections

[0153] For PD analyses on peripheral blood samples, blood samples for CD19+ B cell counts will be drawn at screening, Days 3 (SC cohort only), 7, 15 (pre-dose), and 22, and pre-dose on Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96 as well as at Week 120 / end of study (EOS). Blood collection for immunogenicity anti-drug antibody (ADA) analyses will be performed pre-dose at Days 1 and 15, and pre-dose on Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96 as well as at Week 120 / EOS. Study Drug Ublituximab Packaging and Labeling

[0154] Ublituximab will be provided to the study site in two formulations: 25 mg / mL (150 mg / 6 mL in single-use vial) solution for infusion for IV administration 150 mg / mL (300 mg / 2 mL in single-use vial) solution for injection for SC administrationAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 Ublituximab IV Administration

[0155] Ublituximab IV should be administered intravenously through a dedicated line. No other treatment may be co-administered with ublituximab. Ublituximab should only be diluted in 250 mL 0.9% NaCl before use. No data are available for other solutions such as 5% dextrose and 5% mannitol. Ublituximab IV should not be administered as an IV push or bolus. Storage Instructions for the Prepared IV Solution

[0156] The prepared infusion solution should be used immediately. If the diluted solution is not administered immediately, it can be stored refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 24 hours. It cannot be frozen. If the diluted solution is stored refrigerated, it has to be equilibrated to room temperature prior to administration (approximately 2 hours). The diluted solution can be stored for an additional 8 hours at room temperature up to 25°C (77°F), which includes the equilibration time and infusion time. Dilutions

[0157] Dilution calculations are shown in Table 6 below. Table 6. Ublituximab vials containing 25 mg / mL (150 mg / 6 mL in 10 mL single-use vial)Infusion Rates

[0158] Ublituximab IV should be administered only by slow infusion via intravenous route as a single administration as described in Table 7 and Table 8 below: Table 7. First Ublituximab Infusion (Day 1, Cohort IV only)Attorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 Table 8. Subsequent Ublituximab Infusions (Day 15 and Weeks 24, 48, 72 and 96; all Cohorts)Ublituximab SC Administration

[0159] Ublituximab SC (150 mg / mL) must be administered as a subcutaneous injection by the PI, TN, or a designee. Site of Administration: Lower abdomen at least 2 inches from navel. Ublituximab should be injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the lower abdomen. Do not administer in an area where there is bruising, redness, tenderness, hardness, or near a mole, scar or stretch marks. Injection site location must be recorded in the eCRF. Ublituximab should not be self-administered. Prepared SC syringe is to be used immediately. Preparation

[0160] Ublituximab SC should be prepared and administered by subcutaneous injection as a single administration as described in Table 9 below. The vial should be allowed to reach room temperature prior to administration. Withdraw the required volume from the vial using the specified size sterile syringe. Immediately prior to the SC injection, change the needle to the size specified for the SC injection. Administer the SC injection at an approximate 45 degree angle slowly and evenly, without force. Do not massage or rub the injection site after administration. Table 9. Ublituximab vials containing 150 mg / mL (300 mg / 2 mL in 2 mL single-use vial) for SC injectionAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1*Any length sterile needle may be used to withdraw ublituximab from the vial. Statistical Considerations

[0161] The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate tolerability of SC dosing at different levels and an exploratory characterization the PK and PD of ublituximab after a single dose given either via IV or SC administration. Given the low inter-individual variability in ublituximab PK at the approved IV regimen (AUC coefficient of variance = 28%; CmaxCV% = 15%), sample sizes of 6-12 participants are expected to provide a reasonable characterization of ublituximab PK following single SC doses and to enable an exploratory comparison to IV PK at the approved dose planned in this study. The proposed sample size is also generally consistent with similar studies intended to explore PK comparability of different dose routes for monoclonal antibodies. Participants who drop out prior to the dose on Day 15 may be replaced at Sponsor discretion.

[0162] The Safety Population will include all participants who received at least one dose of ublituximab.

[0163] An accounting of the study participants will be tabulated. Participants that do not complete the study will be listed along with the reason for their discontinuation and reasons for discontinuation will be summarized.

[0164] Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics will be summarized as percentages for categorical variables and as mean, standard deviation (SD), median, minimum, and maximum for continuous measures.

[0165] Extent of Exposure: The dose (mg) of study drug administered, the total number of doses of study drug, and the duration of treatment will be summarized with descriptive statistics.Attorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 Pharmacokinetic Analyses

[0166] All participants who receive at least one dose of ublituximab and have at least one measurable ublituximab concentration with associated dosing time and dosing information, without major deviations, will be included in the PK analysis population.

[0167] Pharmacokinetic measures including but not limited to AUC0-14d, Cmax, Tmax, Clast, AUClast, Tlast, and Ctrough,Day 15,and SC bioavailability will be estimated as data permit via non- compartmental analyses. Geometric mean ratios of the primary study endpoint AUC0-14dafter dosing on Day 1 in SC treatment cohorts vs Cohort IV will be calculated along with the associated 90% confidence intervals (CI). Similar calculations may be conducted for Cmaxafter dosing on Day 1.

[0168] Additionally, PK data from this study may be incorporated into a population PK model for further analysis to aid the design of future trials. The results from these analyses will be reported separately. Pharmacodynamic Analyses

[0169] Pharmacodynamic measures will be analyzed on all participants with one or more post baseline sample(s).

[0172] Safety will be analyzed on the Safety population, by cohort. Safety analyses will be primarily based on the incidence, seriousness, and severity of AEs (including local and systemicAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 IRRs) and supplemented by clinically meaningful laboratory results, physical examination, and vital signs, as available.

[0173] Detailed information collected for each AE will be included in a listing: adverse event term, start / stop dates of the AE, seriousness, severity, relationship to study drug, action taken, and outcome. In addition, the number and percentage of participants experiencing at least one treatment-emergent AE will be tabulated by body system, preferred term, and CTCAE grade. Treatment-emergent AEs, drug-related AEs, adverse events of special interest, SAEs, AEs with a fatal outcome, and AEs leading to discontinuation / dose modification will be further summarized. Immunogenicity Analyses

[0174] All participants who received at least one ublituximab dose and had at least one post- baseline ADA sample, without major deviations will be included in the immunogenicity analysis population. Anti-ublituximab antibody measures (% TE-ADA positive participants, titer values, % nAb positive) will be described at each measured time point and by cohort. The impact of anti-ublituximab antibody development on the PK, PD and safety of ublituximab may be explored. Additional analyses of PK and PD data excluding participants positive for anti- ublituximab antibodies may be conducted as appropriate. 8.5 Example 5— Evaluation of bioavailability and tolerability of ublituximab administered subcutaneously in patients with multiple sclerosis

[0175] The subcutaneous administration of ublituximab is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 study. A synopsis of the study is provided in Example 4. A summary of the results available to date are provided in this Example. Disposition and Demographics

[0176] In Part 1, 56 participants have been enrolled (Table 10) and 13 participants have been enrolled in Part 2 (Table 11). Demographics of the participants are described in Table 12. Among the participants treated to date, 66 participants have RMS.Attorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 Table 10. TG1101-RMS-SC101 Part 1 Enrollment SummaryData cutoff: 21 February 2025 Table 11. TG1101-RMS-SC101 Part 2 Enrollment SummaryTable 12. TG1101-RMS-SC101 Part 1 and Part 2 DemographicsSafety

[0177] In Part 1, the safety of subcutaneous ublituximab injections were evaluated in Cohorts SC1 – SC5, with a single subcutaneous injection administered on Day 1. On Day 15 and onwards, all participants in Part 1 received IV infusions of ublituximab per the approved label regimen. Among these cohorts, injection related reactions (systemic) were observed in 1 participant treated at 150 mg and 2 participants treated at 300 mg SC, and injection site reactionAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 (local) was reported in 1 participant treated at 300 mg. These local and systemic injection related events were all Grade 1 or 2 in severity and resolved. Overall, SC injections were well tolerated in these cohorts.

[0178] In Part 2, multiple injections of subcutaneous ublituximab were evaluated in a fully subcutaneous regimen with 300 mg administered on Day 1, and 400 mg administered on Day 15, Week 12 and every 12 weeks thereafter. Among the 13 participants treated in Part 2, four (4) reported systemic injection related reactions, all of which were Grade 1 and 2 in severity and resolved. No local injection site reactions were reported.

[0179] Overall, in both Part 1 and Part 2, there have been no AEs leading to drug discontinuation, no AEs leading to death, and no pregnancies have reported. All AEs reported to date have been Grade 1, 2 or 3 in severity, with no Grade 4 or 5 events observed. One serious adverse event (SAE) of a Grade 3 perianal abscess with intercostal fistula was reported in a participant in cohort SC5. This event was not considered related to ublituximab treatment, resolved and no action was taken with study drug.

[0180] Table 20 lists all the Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) reported on study with an incidence 2 participants. The most commonly occurring TEAEs were injection related reactions (21%) and infusion related reactions (11%). Injection related reactions were considered to be any systemic adverse events generally occurring within 24 hours of a subcutaneous injection that the investigator determined was attributable to the injection. Infusion related reactions were considered to be any systemic adverse events generally occurring within 24 hours of an infusion that the investigator determined was attributed to the infusion. Injection site reactions were any events occurring locally after a subcutaneous injection and only one event of injection site pain, Grade 1, was observed in 1 participant treated at 300 mg (not presented in Table 13). Table 13. All TEAEs in Study TG1101-RMS-SC101 with an incidence 2 participantsAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1Data cutoff: 21 Feb 2025 *Of note, per protocol, pre-medications for 3 participants in the Part 1 SC expansion cohort were reduced on Day 1 to assess a modified premedication regimen. All 3 participants experienced an injection related reaction on the Day 1 injection. All remaining participants on study were treated with the full premedication regimen of corticosteroids, antihistamine and antipyretic on Day 1. Pharmacodynamics

[0181] At all SC doses evaluated to date, the intended pharmacodynamic effect of CD19+ B- cell depletion was observed after a single dose by Day 3 and depletion of cells was maintained through Day 15 when the next ublituximab dose was administered (Table 14). Table 14. Median CD19+ B-cell counts (cells / μL) of participants treated in Part 1 and Part 2Attorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1Data cutoff: 21 Feb 2025. NC = not collected Pharmacokinetics

[0182] After a single subcutaneous dose of ublituximab, approximate dose-dependent increases in exposure between 50 mg to 300 mg SC were observed in cohorts SC1 – SC5 (Figure 6 and Figure 7). The Cmax was significantly lower with SC administration when compared to IV administration. Absorption of the subcutaneous dose could only be evaluated up to Day 15 in Part 1 prior to the administration of the IV dose of 450 mg. Based on GoF plots and visual predictive checks, the existing population PK model for the RMS population is well suited to describe the Phase 1 data. The estimated bioavailability given the study design limitations of Part 1 is currently 49%. To date, no clinically significant covariates have been identified for IV or SC administration. 8.6 Example 6— Pharmaceutical development of ublituximab solution for injection Formulation Development

[0183] A drug product formulation was developed for ublituximab at 25 mg / mL to ensure protein structural integrity and stability. The buffered formulation contains sodium chloride to adjust the product to isotonic conditions. Polysorbate 80 is added as a surfactant to minimize protein aggregation. The ublituximab solution for injection formulation at 150 mg / mL ublituximab (25 mM sodium citrate, 154 mM sodium chloride, and 0.07% polysorbate 80, pH 6.5) uses that same formulation.Attorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1

[0184] The development results confirmed the suitability of buffer and excipient formulation of 25 mM sodium citrate dihydrate, 154 mM sodium chloride, and 0.07% polysorbate 80 at pH 6.5 for the 25 mg / mL formulation.

[0185] The objective of the 150 mg / mL formulation was to provide a higher product concentration more suitable for subcutaneous administration. Development studies were conducted on the 150 mg / mL formulation to confirm stability of the product after freeze / thaw to support a frozen drug substance storage condition. Thermal stability studies were also conducted to support the 150 mg / mL formulation. These development studies included assessment of ublituximab high concentration quality at higher product concentrations (120, 150 and 180 mg / mL target concentrations) after multiple freeze / thaw cycles, agitation assessment, and in an accelerated stability study performed at higher storage temperatures. Results from these studies provide confirmation that the 150 mg / mL formulation is suitable for use at the drug substance and drug product intended storage conditions. Feasibility of a 150 mg / mL Clinical Formulation

[0186] Initial formulation development was performed to assess the feasibility of higher concentrated ublituximab. TG1101 was concentrated using Amicon Ultra-4 centrifugal filters system with a cutoff membrane of 30 kDa. Samples were centrifuged at 4°C (2800 x g) and concentration checked using SoloVPE until the 5 target concentrations were reached (125, 150,175, 200 and 225 mg / mL). Samples were then filtered using 0.22 m syringe-filters and PS80was spiked-in to final concentration 0.07%. Table 15 summarizes the source starting material and achieved concentrations through the formulation preparation phases. Table 15. Formulation Feasibility- Source Material and Concentration at each StepAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1

[0187] All formulations were slightly opalescent and visible particle / precipitate-free. The samples were then subjected to a viscosity assessment. Viscosity was measured using Rheosense microVISC with 0-100 cp and 10-1000 cp chambers and the N7.5 and N44 standards. The viscosity in the formulation increases exponentially with TG1101 concentration as illustrated in Figure 8 and Table 16. For concentrations above 170 mg / mL, the viscosity of the formulation was above 20 cp, the ascribed upper limit for the formulation assessment. Additionally, size exclusion chromatography was performed to establish an understanding of the concentration effects on the dimer species. Indeed, an increase in dimer species from the starting material was observed. Based on this data the following concentration range was further explored 120 – 180 mg / mL. Table 16. Formulation Concentration and ViscosityDevelopment of the 150 mg / mL Clinical Formulation

[0188] A higher concentration formulation was developed to optimize the clinical configuration for subcutaneous administration. The higher concentration would allow for a single vial to be used during clinical administration to the patient which is recommended in the June 2015 Guidance for Industry document “Allowable Excess Volume and Labeled Vial Fill Size in Injectable Drug and Biological Products.” Development studies were conducted to determine if the product concentration could be increased. Also, a study was performed to confirm stability of the product after freeze / thaw to support a frozen drug substance storage condition. The studies were performed using the same excipients and excipient concentrations used previously for the 25 mg / mL clinical formulation. The development studies included assessment of ublituximab product quality at 150 mg / mL, after multiple freeze / thaw cycles, afterAttorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 72 h agitation, and in an accelerated stability study performed at higher storage temperatures. Results are discussed below. Freeze / Thaw Studies

[0189] In this study, formulations prepared as described in the stability setup section were subjected to five freeze-thaw cycles. A cycle consisted of freezing the formulation at -80°C overnight and thawing on the benchtop at RT for at least 3 hours. Appearance, soluble aggregate concentration by A280, charged variants by icIEF, purity using reducing and non-reducing CE and insoluble aggregates by MFI.

[0190] Physical appearance was noted for samples from vials that underwent five freeze / thaw cycles. The freeze / thaw study showed no change in the appearance of all samples as they all have a similar light amber color and opalescence to the t=0 samples.

[0191] The samples were analyzed using the MFI to quantitate and identify particles. Briefly, the MFI was purged with 0.19 mL followed by a 0.30 mL run. The particle count data is shown in Table 17. The particles observed have the typical morphology of protein aggregate and precipitate.

[0192] Results are shown for the selected 150 mg / mL formulation concentration in Table 17. The results show no significant changes are observed in the product quality attributes tested, except for subvisible particles. The results for subvisible particles show an increase with cycle number, however all results remain within acceptable levels for release test acceptance criteria through the three freeze / thaw cycles tested. The results from the other concentrations up to 180 mg / mL were similar (data not shown), with no impactful differences observed in quality attributes relative to the initial test sample. The freeze / thaw data results provided acceptable support for the selected 150 mg / mL formulation and long-term storage of ublituximab high concentration at -35°C.Attorney Docket No.50581-0016WO1 Table 17.

[0193] Prepared formulations were placed on an orbital shaker at 500 rpm at room temperature for 72 hours. Appearance and soluble aggregates were monitored at 24, 48 and 72 hours.
