NCT01485003

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to determine which baseline and yearly response factors (clinical and para clinical) predict overall disease-free status at Month 12 and Month 24, and clinical disease-free status in subsequent Months 36 and 48. The secondary objectives are: To identify prognostic factors at Baseline that predict overall disease-free status at Month 12, and to assess if yearly overall disease-free response factors predict overall disease-free status at Month 24; To evaluate clinical disease-free status (relapse, Expanded Disability Status Scale \[EDSS\]) at each analysis time point of Months 12, 24, 36, and 48; To identify prognostic factors at Baseline that predict clinical disease-free status at Month 12, and to assess yearly clinical disease-free response factors that predict clinical disease-free status (relapse, EDSS) in subsequent years at Months 24, 36, and 48; To evaluate the impact of Tysabri at each analysis time point of Months 12, 24, 36, and 48 on the following: annualized relapse rate (ARR), sustained EDSS progression and improvement (24-week sustained); To evaluate the impact of Tysabri at each analysis time point of Months 12, 24, 36, and 48 on the following: magnetic resonance image (MRI) measures: T2, T1, T1 with Gadolinium (Gd), brain atrophy; To evaluate the impact of Tysabri at Month 24 and Month 48 on the following: optical coherence tomography (OCT), Low and High Contrast Visual Acuity Assessment; To evaluate the impact of Tysabri at each analysis time point of Months 12, 24, 36, and 48 on the following: cognitive impairment (Symbol Digit Modalities Test \[SDMT\]), capacity for work (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire \[WPAI\]), quality of life (QoL) (Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale \[MSIS-29\])

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Proportion of Participants who are overall disease activity-free at Months 12 and 24

    Overall disease activity-free is defined as no relapses, no disability progression (RRMS), and absence of MRI disease activity (no gadolinium \[gd\])+ lesions, no new or enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions). A clinical relapse is defined as new or recurrent neurological symptoms, not associated with fever, lasting for at least 24 hours, and followed by a period of 30 days of stability or improvement. Sustained disability progression defined by at least a 1.0-point increase on the EDSS from a Baseline EDSS ≥1.0 that is sustained for 12 or 24 weeks, or at least a 1.5-point increase on the EDSS from a Baseline EDSS \<1.0 that is sustained for 12 or 24 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.

    Baseline and Months 12 and 24

  • Proportion of participants who are clinical disease activity-free at Months 36 and 48

    Clinical disease activity-free is defined as no sustained EDSS progression and no relapses at Month 36 and 48.

    Baseline and Months 36 and 48

Secondary Outcomes (19)

  • Identification of baseline prognostic factors that predict overall disease-free status

    Baseline and Month 12

  • Identification of yearly overall disease-free response factors that predict overall disease-free status

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Study participants will be recruited by participating neurologists from among their MS patients who opt to begin treatment with Tysabri.

You may qualify if:

  • Documented diagnosis of Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (McDonald 2010 Criteria ).
  • \<3 year disease duration.
  • Must have an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score from 0 to 4.0, inclusive.
  • Anti-JCV antibody negative test within 6 months of Screening Visit.
  • Must satisfy the approved therapeutic indications for Tysabri.
  • Must be treatment-naĂ¯ve to disease-modifying therapy (DMT) or have been treated with DMT (including but not limited to Avonex, Betaseron, Rebif, Copaxone, Extavia, or Gilenya) for ≤36 months total prior to date of informed consent.
  • Decision to treat with Tysabri must precede enrollment.

You may not qualify if:

  • Any prior treatment with Tysabri.
  • Anti-JCV antibody positive at any timepoint prior to the Screening Visit.
  • Contraindications to treatment with Tysabri as described in the US Prescribing Information.
  • History of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) or other opportunistic infections, or an increased risk for such infections.
  • History of diagnosis of Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPM) and/or Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS).
  • Receiving immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive therapy.
  • Prior history of immunosuppressive use (mitoxantrone, azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate, cladribine, rituximab).
  • Immunocompromised at the time of enrollment.
  • Known active malignancies (subjects with cutaneous basal cell carcinoma that has been completely excised prior to study entry remain eligible).
