5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a multi-center, randomized, parallel arm, double-blind study with a total duration of subjects' participation of 48 weeks. Approximately 260 participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis will be randomized to receive 12 doses of either PB006 or EU-licensed Natalizumab.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 3 multicenter, double-blind, active-controlled, randomized, parallel-group study to assess the equivalence in efficacy and similarity in safety of biosimilar PB006 compared to Tysabri in patients with RRMS. All eligible patients will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio, to receive a total of twelve intravenous (IV) infusion of either PB006 or Tysabri at a dose of 300 mg at each intravenous (IV) infusion administered with every single one intravenous (IV) infusion administered every 4 weeks of either PB006 or Tysabri at a dose of 300 mg starting at visit 1 (week 0) through visit 12 (week 44), for a total of 12 infusions. The End-of-Study Visit (visit 13, week 48) will be performed 4 weeks after the last infusion
