The newest entrants (e.g., Zeposia, Kesimpta, Ponvory) and nearest-to-launch emerging therapies (e.g., ublituximab, GA Depot) have entered \/ will enter established drug classes, while novel Bruton\u2019s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors will establish a new but soon-to-be crowded class; in each case, demonstrating meaningful differentiation for payers and prescribers will be critical. Meanwhile, the 2020 debut of generics competition for former market-leader Tecfidera\u2014and the anticipated launch of several other oral generics in the coming year\u2014introduces a new variable in formulary placement and physician choice, especially in the relapsing MS space.
