NEW YORK, July 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TG Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGTX) today announced the publication of preclinical data describing the unique immunomodulatory effects of umbralisib, the Company’s investigational oral once-daily dual inhibitor of PI3K-delta and CK1-epsilon, in Blood Advances, a Journal of the American Society of Hematology.Michael S. Weiss, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated “We want to thank Dr. Javier Pinilla-Ibarz, and the team at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute for their important preclinical work examining the unique effect of umbralisib on T cells compared to other PI3K inhibitors. We have been encouraged by the safety profile reported in umbralisib clinical trials, and this preclinical data helps us to better understand the potential mechanistic rationale for the differentiated safety profile observed to date.”ABOUT TG THERAPEUTICS, INC.
