About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Natalizumab Following Re-Initiation of Dosing in Multiple Sclerosis Subjects Who Have Completed Study C-1801, C-1802, C-1803, or C-1808 and a Dosing Suspension Safety Evaluation

The primary objectives for the initial treatment period of this study are to further evaluate the safety of natalizumab monotherapy by evaluating the risk of hypersensitivity reactions and immunogenicity following re-exposure to natalizumab and confirming the safety of switching from interferon (IFN), glatiramer acetate, or other multiple sclerosis (MS) therapies to natalizumab. The primary objective for the long-term treatment period of this study is to evaluate the long-term impact of natalizumab monotherapy on the progression of disability measured by Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) changes over time.

Read the detailed description

Study 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) was conducted to evaluate the safety of natalizumab monotherapy following re-exposure to natalizumab in former clinical trial participants in Studies C-1801 (NCT00027300), C-1802 (NCT00030966), and C-1803 (NCT00097760) and included subjects in North America. In parallel with the conduct of that study, this study (101-MS-321 [NCT00297232]) was initiated for participants in Europe and the rest of the world. In addition, after 48 weeks, participants from 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) could enter study 101-MS-321 (NCT 00297232), which was considered the Long-Term Treatment Period of 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592).

The primary purpose and primary outcome for both studies are identical; therefore, the combined long-term data from both studies are presented. (Combined Week 48 data from both studies are presented in the 101-MS-322 [NCT00306592] record.)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to 24-week Confirmed Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Progression

    Time to 24-week confirmed EDSS progression in participants with at least 2 post-baseline milestone EDSS assessments. EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) was reported. Confirmed 24-week EDSS progression was defined as ≥ 0.5 point increase from a baseline EDSS ≥ 6.0, or ≥ 1.0 point increase from a baseline EDSS ≥ 1.0 and < 6.0, or ≥ 1.5 point increase from a baseline EDSS of 0, all sustained for 24 weeks.

    Measured: up to 480 weeks

  2. Time to 48-week Confirmed EDSS Progression

    Time to 48-week confirmed EDSS progression in particpants with at least 2 post-baseline milestone EDSS assessments. EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) was reported. Confirmed 48-week EDSS progression was defined as ≥ 0.5 point increase from a baseline EDSS ≥ 6.0, or ≥ 1.0 point increase from a baseline EDSS ≥ 1.0 and < 6.0, or ≥ 1.5 point increase from a baseline EDSS of 0, all sustained for 48 weeks.

    Measured: up to 480 weeks

  3. Time to 24-week Confirmed EDSS Improvement Where Baseline ≥ 2.0

    Time to 24-week confirmed EDSS improvement in subjects with at least 2 post-baseline milestone EDSS assessments. EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) was reported. Confirmed 24-week EDSS improvement is defined as ≥ 1.0 point decrease from baseline sustained for 24 weeks.

    Measured: Up to 480 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Natalizumab in people with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis, run by Biogen at 112 sites in 21 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 112 sites in France, Canada, Germany, Poland, Czechia and 16 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to 24-week Confirmed Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Progression (time frame: up to 480 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00297232, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jul 2016.
