About

The primary objectives of this study are to further evaluate the safety of natalizumab (Tysabri®) monotherapy by evaluating the risk of hypersensitivity and immunogenicity following re-exposure to natalizumab, and to confirm the safety of switching to natalizumab from interferon beta (IFN-β), glatiramer acetate (GA), or other multiple sclerosis (MS) therapies.

Full description

Study 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) is conducted to evaluate the safety of natalizumab monotherapy following re-exposure to natalizumab of former clinical trial participants in Studies C-1801 (NCT00027300), C-1802 (NCT00030966), and C-1803 (NCT00097760). This study includes participants in North America. In parallel with the conduct of this study, a similar study, 101-MS-321 (NCT00297232) is initiated for participants in Europe and the rest of the world. The primary purpose and primary outcome for both studies are identical, therefore, the combined Week 48 data from both studies are presented. In addition, after 48 weeks, participants from 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) can enter study 101-MS-321 (NCT 00297232), which is considered the Long-Term Treatment Period of 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592).

Inclusion criteria

• MS subjects who completed Study C-1801 (NCT00027300), C-1802 (NCT00030966), or C-1803 (NCT00097760) and completed a Dosing Suspension Safety Evaluation (neurological examination and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] scan)
• Considered by the investigator to be free of signs and symptoms suggestive of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) based on medical history, physical examination, or laboratory testing (results from the Dosing Suspension Safety Evaluation from Study C-1808 [NCT000276172] may be used)
• Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply

Exclusion criteria

• Considered by the investigator to be immunocompromised, based on medical history, physical examination, or laboratory testing (results from the Dosing Suspension Safety Evaluation from Study C-1808 may be used), or due to prior immunosuppressive treatment
• History of persistent anti-natalizumab antibodies, based upon testing from prior natalizumab studies
• Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply

Experimental group

Description:

All study participants in 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) and 101-MS-321 (NCT00297232) received open label 300 mg intravenous (IV) natalizumab 60-minute infusion once every 4 weeks (28 days ±7 days) for up to 48 weeks. After 48 weeks, participants from 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) entering study 101-MS-321 (NCT 00297232; considered the Long-Term Treatment Period of 101-MS-322) were continued on treatment from Week 52 through Week 480.
