Background summary
Natalizumab is a recombinant humanized anti-α4 integrin antibody, derived from
a monoclonal antibody (mAb) [AN100226m] raised against human α4 integrin. The
murine mAb (AN100226m) was humanized by complementarity-determining region
grafting of the hypervariable region of the gene encoding AN100226m onto a
human immunoglobulin G4 framework, producing the humanized immunoglobulin
G4/kappa antibody, natalizumab.
Study objective
Part 1: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of
natalizumab extended interval dosing (EID) in subjects who have previously been
treated with natalizumab standard interval dosing (SID) for at least 12 months,
in relation to continued SID treatment.
Part 2: The primary objective is to evaluate participant preference for
subcutaneous (SC) versus intravenous (IV) route of natalizumab administration.
Study design
Part 1 is a prospective, randomized, interventional, controlled, open-label,
rater-blinded study of IV natalizumab administered under SID and EID.
Part 2 is an OLE study of natalizumab EID delivered by SC and IV administration
in a randomized crossover design that is available to all qualified subjects
who have completed Part 1. New subjects who did not participate in Part 1 but
meet Part 1 enrollment criteria and satisfy the requirements for enrollment in
Part 2 are also eligible.
Intervention
Part 1
SID group: approximately 240 subjects will receive natalizumab as a 300 mg IV
infusion Q4W (28 [-2/+5] days).
EID group: approximately 240 subjects will receive natalizumab as a 300 mg IV
infusion Q6W (42 [-2/+5] days).
Part 2
All subjects enrolled in Part 2 will receive natalizumab as a 300 mg IV
infusion Q6W (42 [-2/+5] days) for a period of 36 weeks. Subjects will then be
randomized 1:1 by Part 1 treatment group (SID, EID, new subjects) to receive
natalizumab 300 mg SC Q6W for 24 weeks followed by 300 mg IV Q6W for 24 weeks
or the same 48-week crossover in reverse order.
Study burden and risks
After more than 10 years of postmarketing experience, natalizumab continues to
demonstrate a high level of efficacy with a well-characterized safety profile
and a significant beneficial impact on the quality of life in patients with
RRMS. In pivotal clinical studies, natalizumab demonstrated a 67% reduction in
annualized relapse rate and a 42% reduction in the risk of disability
progression over 2 years. Since the marketing of natalizumab, publications from
multiple independent groups, as well as publications from the Sponsor, have
further demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of natalizumab when used in
patients with MS with high disease activity despite treatment with first-line
therapies.

Inclusion criteria
For Part 1: • Ability of the participant to understand the purpose and risks of
the study and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to
use confidential health information in accordance with national and local
participant privacy regulations. • Aged 18 to 60 years old, inclusive, at the
time of informed consent • Diagnosis of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis
(RRMS) according to the McDonald criteria. • Treatment with natalizumab as
disease-modifying monotherapy for RRMS that is consistent with the approved
dosing for a minimum of 12 months prior to randomization. The participant must
have received at least 11 doses of natalizumab in the 12 months prior to
randomization with no missed doses in the 3 months prior to randomization. •
Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) <=5.5 at screening. • No relapses in
the last 12 months prior to randomization, as determined by the enrolling
Investigator For Part 2: • Ability of the participants to understand the
purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent
for Part 2 and authorization to use confidential health information in
accordance with national and local participant privacy regulations. • Completed
Part 1 Week 72 visit while remaining on their randomized treatment assignment
of SID or EID. • The inclusion and exclusion criteria for new participants who
did not participate in Part 1 of the study are the same as those for
participants who did participate in Part 1.
Exclusion criteria
For Part 1:
• Primary and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS).
• MRI positive for Gd-enhancing lesions at screening.
• Participants for whom MRI is contraindicated (e.g., have a contraindicated
pacemaker or other contraindicated implanted metal device, have suffered, or
are at risk for, side effects from Gd, or have claustrophobia that cannot be
medically managed).
• History of any clinically significant (as determined by the Investigator)
cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic
(including diabetes), urologic, pulmonary, neurologic (except for RRMS),
dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, or other major disease that would preclude
participation in a clinical study, in the opinion of the Investigator.
• Presence of anti-natalizumab antibodies at screening.
For Part 2:
• Participants treated with natalizumab EID was reverted to natalizumab SID by
choice or as rescue treatment in Part 1.
• Participant received treatment with any MS disease-modifying therapy other
than natalizumab in Part 1 or in the period between Part 1 and Part 2.
• History of human immunodeficiency virus or history of other immunodeficient
conditions.
• Current enrollment or a plan to enroll in any interventional clinical study
in which an investigational treatment or approved therapy for investigational
use is administered within 30 days (or 5 half-lives of the agent, whichever is
longer) prior to the Baseline Visit or at any time during this study.
• Inability to comply with study requirements.
• Other unspecified reasons that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Biogen,
make the participant unsuitable for enrollment.
The inclusion and exclusion criteria for new participants who did not
participate in Part 1 of the study are the same as those for participants who
did participate in Part 1.
