About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Observational, Single-blinded, Longitudinal Study of Natalizumab Effect on Brain Atrophy and Disability in Multiple Sclerosis Patients Over 5 Years.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of using Tysabri on changes in the brain using MRI and on disease progression in patients with relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis over 5 years.
Read the detailed description
This is a prospective, observational, single-blinded, longitudinal study of natalizumab effect on brain atrophy development and disability progression in multiple sclerosis patients over 5 years, which will evaluate originally treated patients with natalizumab who participated in a prospective 1- and 2-year VWMTR study. (Zivadinov et al., 2011b) All subjects will be assessed at 5-year follow-up with the same clinical examinations and will obtain 1.5T MRI examination on the same scanner that did not undergo any upgrade changes in the period of 5 years.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Tysabri | All subjects took Tysabri and also had an MRI which we use for the baseline evaluation. Over 5 years, some patients remained on Tysabri, some started another drug and others were off Tysabri for a time but then restarted. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The primary aim of this study is to define the effect of the number of natalizumab cycles on development of brain atrophy and progression of disability in originally treated patients with natalizumab in relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS).
Evaluation of MRI images from baseline in comparison with a 5 year MRI.
Measured: 5 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
The secondary objective of this study is to define the effect of the number of natalizumab cycles on accumulation of T2-LV and T1-LV and their VW-MTR changes over 5 years.
To evaluate any effect of the number of Tysabri cycles on lesion volume.
Measured: 5 years

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. 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.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
The primary aim of this study is to define the effect of the number of natalizumab cycles on development of brain atrophy and progression of disability in originally treated patients with natalizumab in relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 7 May 2013.
