Abstract
B cells are critical to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. B cell depletion using anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has proven to be an extremely successful treatment strategy, with profound suppression of both clinical and radiological evidence of focal inflammatory disease. Several anti-CD20 mAbs are now licensed for use in MS, with ublituximab being the latest to gain regulatory approval. The unique properties of each of the anti-CD20 mAb may result in nuanced differences in timing, duration and depth of B cell depletion, with the potential for such differences to have a clinical relevance to both drug efficacy and adverse effects. In this review, we summarize the design, development, and current place in MS therapy for ublituximab.
