Clinical Disease Activity With Long Term Natalizumab Treatment

January 3, 2019 updated by: Biogen

MRI and Clinical Disease Activity in Patients Treated Long Term With Natalizumab

The primary objective of the study is to retrospectively investigate the proportion of participants free of new or enlarging fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) lesions over time in approximately 300 Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) participants with regular MRI follow-up, who have received natalizumab ≥24 month from two different observational cohorts: 1) approximately 230 participants from the Czech Republic; and 2) approximately 70 participants from Belgium. The secondary objectives of this study are as follows: Brain volume change by various measures; Changes in the number and volume of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions; No evidence of disease activity (NEDA) with and without brain volume change.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Natalizumab will not be provided to participants by Biogen as a part of this study. Participants will remain on natalizumab therapy as prescribed by their physician.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants who have been receiving treatment with natalizumab for ≥24 months.

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of RRMS.
  • Continuous treatment with natalizumab of ≥24 months. In case of a treatment interruption from natalizumab ≥60 days after a total treatment period of ≥24 months, only the treatment prior to the interruption will be analyzed. Any data after this treatment interruption (even if the patient restarts natalizumab) will not be analyzed/collected.
  • ≥1 MRI scan of sufficient quality for reliable measurement.
  • Baseline MRI scan ≤6 month prior to natalizumab treatment acquired.
  • ≥1 MRI scan of sufficient quality for reliable measurement taken while on natalizumab treatment for ≥6 months.
  • EDSS ≤ 6.5.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Anti-natalizumab antibody detection.
  • Prior treatment with alemtuzumab.
  • Prior treatment with mitoxantrone within 12 months of the first infusion of natalizumab.

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change over time in the number of participants free of new or enlarging FLAIR lesions
Time Frame: Treatment years 3 and 4
Lesions that are ≥5 mm per scan (slice thickness 3 mm) as assessed by semiautomatic lesion count (by the Icometrix algorithm).
Treatment years 3 and 4

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
