Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Part 1: Number of New or Newly Enlarging T2 Hyperintense Lesions at Week 72
Number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions will be analysed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of brain. New MRI scans will be compared with the prior MRI scans to analyse the number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions.
Part 2: Percentage of Participants Indicating a Preference for Natalizumab SC Administration at the End of Part 2

Secondary Outcome Measures

Part1: Time to First Relapse as Adjudicated by an Independent Neurology Evaluation Committee (INEC)
A multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse will be defined as the onset of new or recurrent neurological symptoms, not associated with fever, infection, severe stress, or drug toxicity, lasting at least 24 hours, accompanied by new objective abnormalities on a neurological examination. Only relapses confirmed by an INEC will be included in the analysis.
Part 1: Number of New Gadolinium (Gd) Enhancing and New T1 Hypointense Lesions at Weeks 24, 48 and 72
Number of new Gd enhancing and new T1 hypointense lesions on brain will be analysed by MRI scans of brain. New MRI scans will be compared with the prior MRI scans to analyse number of new Gd enhancing and new T1 hypointense lesions.
Part 1: Annualized Relapse Rate at Week 72
An MS relapse will be defined as the onset of new or recurrent neurological symptoms, not associated with fever, infection, severe stress, or drug toxicity, lasting at least 24 hours, accompanied by new objective abnormalities on a neurological examination. Only relapses confirmed by an INEC will be included in the analysis.
Part 1: Number of New or Newly Enlarging T2 Hyperintense Lesions at Weeks 24 and 48
Number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions will be analysed by MRI scans of brain. New MRI scans will be compared with the prior MRI scans to analyse the number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is a life-threatening event, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in a significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly, is a medically important event.
Part 1: Time to Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Worsening as Confirmed After at Least 24 Weeks
Confirmed EDSS worsening is defined as an increase of at least 1.0 point from a baseline EDSS score ≥ 1.0 or an increase of at least 1.5 points from a baseline EDSS score of 0 that is confirmed after at least 24 weeks.
Part 2: Total Score on Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM)
The TSQM assessed participants' global satisfaction with treatment and captured information on treatment side effects, effectiveness, and convenience using transformed scores between 0 and 100 for effectiveness. Higher scores indicates greater satisfaction.
Part 2: Mean Time for Drug Preparation and Administration
Part 2: Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent AEs (TEAEs)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A TEAE is any event in participants who had received at least 1 dose of study drug, regardless of relationship to study drug.
Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Anti-Natalizumab Antibodies
Part 2: Number of New or Newly Enlarging T2 Hyperintense Lesions
Number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions will be analysed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of brain. New MRI scans will be compared with the prior MRI scans to analyse the number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions.
Part 2: Time to First Relapse
A MS relapse will be defined as the onset of new or recurrent neurological symptoms, not associated with fever, infection, severe stress, or drug toxicity, lasting at least 24 hours.
Part 2: Annualized Relapse Rate
Annualized relapse rate included relapses reported prior to the end of each period.
Part 2: Change in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Score
The EDSS measures disability status on a scale ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more disability.
Part 2: Number of New Gadolinium (Gd) Enhancing Lesions
Number of new Gd enhancing lesions on brain will be analysed by MRI scans of brain. New MRI scans will be compared with the prior MRI scans to analyse number of new Gd enhancing lesions.
Part 2: Number of New T1 Hypointense Lesions
Number of new T1 hypointense lesions on brain will be analysed by MRI scans of brain. New MRI scans will be compared with the prior MRI scans to analyse number new T1 hypointense lesions.
Part 2: Percentage of Brain Volume Change
Part 2: Change in Cortical and Thalamic Brain Region Volume
Part 2: Trough Serum Concentration of Natalizumab (Ctrough)
Part 2: Trough α4 Integrin Saturation

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Part 1: The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of natalizumab extended interval dosing (EID) in participants who have previously been treated with natalizumab standard interval dosing (SID) for at least 12 months, in relation to continued SID treatment. The secondary objectives is to evaluate relapse-based clinical efficacy measures, disability worsening, additional Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-lesion efficacy measures and safety of EID in participants who have previously been treated with natalizumab SID for at least 12 months, in relation to continued SID treatment. Part 2: The primary objective is to evaluate participant preference for subcutaneous (SC) versus intravenous (IV) route of natalizumab administration. The secondary objectives is to evaluate treatment satisfaction, drug preparation and administration time, safety and immunogenicity, efficacy and characterize pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) drug preparation and administration time of SC versus IV routes of natalizumab administration.
Detailed Description
This study will be conducted in 2 parts. At the end of part 1, participants who provide consent and are eligible, and newly enrolled participants, will enter part 2, an Open Label Extension comprising a crossover analysis. Those participants who completed part 1 and cannot participate, or elect not to participate, in Part 2 (Open label extension) will enter a 12-week follow-up.
