Study Population

The study populations for this study is a patient with a diagnosis of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who is about to begin Natalizumab (Tysabri) therapy for a relapse in clinical symptoms (either diagnosed clinically or via gadolinium MRI).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of clinically definite relapsing remitting MS (RRMS)
  2. Age 45 years and older
  3. Willing and able to provide written informed consent
  4. Patient has high disease activity.
  5. Patient is about to begin Natalizumab (Tysabri) therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any clinically significant disease other than MS that is likely to interfere with the evaluation of CDMS
  2. Known infectious or hematological disease.
  3. Unwilling or unable to comply with the requirements of this protocol
  4. Subject can not have a gadolinium enhanced MRI

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in MSDX Complex-1 between baseline and 6-month visit
Time Frame: 6 months
This outcome measure will evaluate a difference in the level of MSDX Complex-1 form the baseline visit to the 6-month visit. MSDX Complex-1 is a biomarker for MS disease activity and its change should correspond with a change in the disease activity in MS.
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Gadolinium MRI and MSDX Complex-1 level
Time Frame: 6 months
This outcome will evaluate whether a change seen in a Gadolinium MRI (a diagnostic test for MS) matches with a change in the MSDX Complex-1 level in a patient with MS.
6 months
