A Study for Tysabri Participant Preference

Completed
Conditions
Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS)
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05304520
Lead Sponsor
Biogen
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to collect, evaluate and compare data on participant preference between subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) natalizumab. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the immunogenicity of SC natalizumab for natalizumab-naïve participants and collect and evaluate data on the multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-relevant parameters (relapse rate, time to first relapse, disability improvement and progression) over 12 months, in participants with natalizumab therapy starting on SC natalizumab or switching from IV natalizumab.

Natalizumab-Naive SC CohortNatalizumabParticipants who initiate natalizumab, 2x150 mg, SC injection administered as standard of care/routine clinical practice will be observed for up to 12 months.
On Natalizumab: Switcher IV to SC CohortNatalizumabParticipants who are already on natalizumab treatment, 300 milligrams (mg) IV infusion and who decide to switch to 2x150 mg SC injection administered as standard of care/routine clinical practice will be observed for up to 12 months.
Natalizumab-Naive IV CohortNatalizumabParticipants who initiate natalizumab, 300 mg, IV infusion injection administered as standard of care/routine clinical practice will be observed for up to 12 months
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants by Their Preferred Method of Natalizumab Administration at Month 12Month 12

The participant preference will be measured by Patient preference questionnaire (PPQ) 1. PPQ 1 comprises of 3 questions - 1. "Are you satisfied with the route of administration of natalizumab?" (yes/no) and indicate main reason. 2. For SC participants only- "Have you experienced adverse events related to a subcutaneous injection." (1= mild to 5 = severe), and 3. "If you had to choose between subcutaneous or intravenous route again, which route would you choose?".

Number of Participants by Their Preferred Method of Natalizumab Administration at Month 6Month 6

The participant preference will be measured by Patient preference questionnaire (PPQ) 1. PPQ 1 comprises of 3 questions - 1. "Are you satisfied with the route of administration of natalizumab?" (yes/no) and indicate main reason. 2. For SC participants only- "Have you experienced adverse events related to a subcutaneous injection." (1= mild to 5 = severe), and 3. "If you had to choose between subcutaneous or intravenous route again, which route would you choose?".

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Disability Improvement and Progression who Switch to Subcutaneous NatalizumabBaseline, Months 3, 6, 9, and 12

Progression is defined as an increase of at least 1.5 points from a baseline Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 0, or at least 1.0 point from a baseline EDSS score \>0 and ≤5.5 points, or at least 0.5 point from a baseline EDSS score ≥6.0. EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) is reported. Improvement is defined analogously, and all other cases are considered as stable disease.

Number of Participants Positive for Anti-Natalizumab-AntibodyBaseline, Month 6 and 12
Percentage of Participants Persistently Positive for Anti-Natalizumab-AntibodyBaseline, Month 6 and 12
Time to RelapseBaseline, Months 3, 6, 9, and 12

An MS relapse is defined as the onset of new or recurrent neurologic symptoms not associated with fever or infection, lasting at least 24 hours, and accompanied by new objective neurological findings.

Annual Relapse RateBaseline, Months 3, 6, 9, and 12

An MS relapse is defined as the onset of new or recurrent neurologic symptoms not associated with fever or infection, lasting at least 24 hours, and accompanied by new objective neurological findings. Annual relapse rate is calculated as the total number of relapses in each treatment group adjusted for the duration of study treatment in person-years.
