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, or C-1803 and a Dosing Suspension Safety Evaluation
The primary objectives of this study are to further evaluate the safety of natalizumab (Tysabri®) monotherapy by evaluating the risk of hypersensitivity and immunogenicity following re-exposure to natalizumab, and to confirm the safety of switching to natalizumab from interferon beta (IFN-β), glatiramer acetate (GA), or other multiple sclerosis (MS) therapies.
Read the detailed description
Study 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) is conducted to evaluate the safety of natalizumab monotherapy following re-exposure to natalizumab of former clinical trial participants in Studies C-1801 (NCT00027300), C-1802 (NCT00030966), and C-1803 (NCT00097760). This study includes participants in North America. In parallel with the conduct of this study, a similar study, 101-MS-321 (NCT00297232) is initiated for participants in Europe and the rest of the world. The primary purpose and primary outcome for both studies are identical, therefore, the combined Week 48 data from both studies are presented. In addition, after 48 weeks, participants from 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) can enter study 101-MS-321 (NCT 00297232), which is considered the Long-Term Treatment Period of 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592).

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Natalizumab | Experimental | All study participants in 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) and 101-MS-321 (NCT00297232) received open label 300 mg intravenous (IV) natalizumab 60-minute infusion once every 4 weeks (28 days ±7 days) for up to 48 weeks. After 48 weeks, participants from 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) entering study 101-MS-321 (NCT 00297232; considered the Long-Term Treatment Period of 101-MS-322) were continued on treatment from Week 52 through Week 480.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs)
AEs: any sign, symptom, or diagnosis/disease that is unfavorable or unintended, that is new, or if pre-existing, worsens in participants administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAEs: an event that results in death; an event that, in the view of the investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); an outcome that results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect diagnosed in a child of a participant; an event that requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization; an event that results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. Any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the investigator, may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. Treatment-emergent AEs: events in participants who had received at least 1 dose of study drug, regardless of relationship to study drug.
Measured: Baseline through Week 48
Number of Participants With Hypersensitivity-related Adverse Events
For purposes of this analysis, the terms 'hypersensitivity' and 'drug hypersensitivity' were categorized by their temporal relationship to study drug infusion (within 2 hours of the start of the infusion), and were considered equivalent. Hypersensitivity reactions are defined as infusion reactions with the following preferred terms: hypersensitivity not otherwise specified (NOS), anaphylactic reaction, anaphylactoid reaction, dermatitis allergic, drug hypersensitivity, urticaria NOS, vasoconstriction, urticaria generalised, hypersensitivity, urticaria.
Measured: Baseline through Week 48
Number of Participants With Antibodies to Natalizumab
'Positive with unknown persistence' is defined as a positive result (≥0.5 micrograms/mL) at one timepoint only with no confirmatory re-test available at least 42 days later. 'Transient positive' is defined as a positive at one timepoint but negative upon re-test at least 42 days later. 'Persistent positive' is defined as positive at 2 or more timepoints separated by at least 42 days. The threshold for classifying a sample as 'antibody positive' was set at the lowest level of reactivity that had a measurable impact on drug serum concentrations.
Measured: Baseline (Week 0), Week 4, Week 24 (test was repeated after 8 weeks if positive, to confirm persistence)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing BG00002 (natalizumab) in people with Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing-Remitting, run by Biogen at 63 sites in 2 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 63 sites in United States, Canada. 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 26 Jan 2010). 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?
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs) (time frame: Baseline through Week 48). 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 NCT00306592, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 21 Mar 2017.
