Safety and Efficacy Extension Study of Daclizumab High Yield Process (DAC HYP) (BIIB019) in Participants Who Have Completed Study 205MS202 (NCT00870740) to Treat Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (SELECTED)

A Multicenter, Open-label, Extension Study to Evaluate the Long Term Safety and Efficacy of Daclizumab High Yield Process (DAC HYP) Monotherapy in Subjects With Multiple Sclerosis Who Have Completed Treatment in Study 205MS202 (SELECTION)

Primary Objective is to assess the safety of extended treatment with Daclizumab High Yield Process (DAC HYP, BIIB019) monotherapy in participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Secondary Objective is to assess the long-term immunogenicity of DAC HYP and to assess the durability of response to DAC HYP in preventing multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse, slowing disability progression, and reducing new MS lesion formation in this study population.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: BIIB019 (Daclizumab); Biological: trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine

Detailed Description

This study will provide participants who complete Study 205MS202 (NCT00870740) with the option to receive continued open-label Daclizumab High Yield Process (DAC HYP) monotherapy and to evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of DAC HYP monotherapy in participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Approximately 60 to 100 participants will be enrolled into an optional open-label, 16-week autoinjector substudy at a selected subset of sites which will run concurrently during the main study, and will evaluate the systemic exposure and local tolerability of subcutaneous administration of DAC HYP by autoinjector. The 2013-2014 trivalent influenza vaccine will be offered to all eligible participants as an optional substudy to assess the effect of DAC-HYP treatment on the immune response to vaccination,

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Discontinuation Due to AEs, Withdrawals Due to AEs	An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence or effect that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability / incapacity, is a congenital anomaly / birth defect or is medically important due to other reasons than the above mentioned criteria.	Baseline up to 24 weeks after last dose of treatment (Up to 300 weeks)
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve Over the Dosing Interval (AUC0-t) After Dose 4 for Daclizumab		Day 90 (Week 12) at predose and 8, 24, 72 and 120 hours post-dose and 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 days post-dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With New or Newly Enlarging T2 Hyperintense Lesions Compared to Baseline	New or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and analyzed by a central reader.	From Baseline through 288 weeks
Annual Change in Volume of New or Newly Enlarging T2 Hyperintense Lesions Compared to Baseline	New or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions evaluated by MRI and analyzed by a central reader.	From Baseline through 288 weeks
Number of Participants With Total Number of New Gadolinium-enhancing Lesions	New Gadolinium-enhancing lesions was evaluated by MRI and analyzed by a central reader.	From Baseline through 288 weeks
Annual Change in Number of T1 Hypointense Lesions		From Baseline through 288 weeks
Annual Change in Volume of New Gadolinium-Enhancing Lesions		From Baseline through 288 weeks
Annual Change in Volume of T1 Hypointense Lesions	Volume of T1 hypointense lesions was evaluated by MRI and analyzed by a central reader.	From Baseline through 288 weeks
Percent Change in Total Brain Volume	To assess brain atrophy, total brain volume was be measured by MRI and analyzed by a central reader.	From Baseline through 288 weeks
Number of Participants With Antibodies to DAC HYP		Up to Week 288
Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)	Relapses are defined as new or recurrent neurologic symptoms not associated with fever or infection, lasting at least 24 hours, and accompanied by new objective neurological findings upon examination by the Examining Neurologist. The ARR was calculated by tabulating the total number of relapses experienced in the group divided by the number of days up to the end of study, and the ratio then multiplied by 365. Adjusted ARR was reported.	Week 288
Number of Participants With Sustained Disability Progression for 12 Weeks	Sustained disability progression defined by at least a 1.0-point increase on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) from a baseline EDSS ≥1.0 that is sustained for 12 weeks, or at least a 1.5-point increase on the EDSS from a baseline EDSS <1.0 that is sustained for 12 weeks. The EDSS measures the disability status of people with multiple sclerosis on a scale that ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more disability.	Week 48 up to Week 288
Number of Participants With Sustained Disability Progression for 24 Weeks	Sustained disability progression defined by at least a 1.0-point increase on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) from a baseline EDSS ≥1.0 that is sustained for 24 weeks, or at least a 1.5-point increase on the EDSS from a baseline EDSS <1.0 that is sustained for 24 weeks.

Participant-Reported Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score	The VAS is a 10 cm-long horizontal line labeled with 2 extremes of pain at either end ("0 [no pain]" on the left and "100 [very painful]" on the right). The participant rates their perceived pain of each injection by placing a vertical mark on the line to indicate the level of pain.	First injection (Day 1) and fourth injection (Day 90) 0 hour, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 8 hours post-dose
Summary of Injection Site Assessment Performed by Clinician	Injection site assessment was performed by clinician and are defined as erythema (redness) rated on a 4 point scale ranging from 0-3, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe; pigmentation changes (skin discoloration other than redness) rated on a 3 point scale from 0-2, where 0=none, 1=hypopigmentation and 2=hyperpigmentation; induration (swelling) rated on a 4 point scale ranging from 0-3, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe; tenderness to pressure rated on a 4 point scale ranging from 0-3, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe; and local temperature changes of injection sites rated on a 3 point scale where 0=normal, 1=warm and 1=hot. Only those score categories for which there was at least 1 participant are reported. Here, Injection=Inj, post-dose=PD	First injection (Day 1) and fourth injection (Day 90) 30 minutes; 8, 24, 72, and 120 hours; and 7, 10, and 14 days post-dose
