Key information

About this study

TOP is an epidemiological observational study of participants receiving natalizumab, with each participant to be followed for up to 15 years. This study is designed to address the long-term safety profile and the long-term impact on disease activity and progression of Tysabri with marketed use, and the impact of treatment on disability in particular by comparing the results with prospectively determined controls from established databases.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must have had at least one relapse in the previous year, and must satisfy locally approved therapeutic indications for Tysabri

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy or other opportunistic infections, or an increased risk of opportunistic infections
  • History of positive anti-Tysabri antibodies
  • Concomitant Immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive therapy during therapy with Tysabri
  • Patient immunocompromised at the time of enrollment
  • Known active malignancy

Other names: BG00002, natalizumab

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAE)

    Time frame: Up to 15 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)

    Time frame: Yearly for up to 15 years

    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. New or recurrent neurological symptoms that occur less than 30 days following the onset of a protocol-defined relapse should be considered part of the same relapse.

  2. Distribution of the Total Number of Relapses

    Time frame: Yearly for up to 15 years

  3. Time to First Relapse

    Time frame: Yearly for up to 15 years

  4. Percentage of Participants with Relapse

    Time frame: Yearly for up to 15 years

  5. Percentage of Participants with Disability Progression

    Time frame: Yearly for up to 15 years

    Disability progression is defined as at least a 1.0 point increase on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) from Baseline that is sustained over 6 months. The EDSS measures disability status on a scale ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more disability. Scoring is based on measures of impairment in eight functional systems on examination by a neurologist.

  6. Percentage of Participants that reach Expanded Disability Status Score (EDSS) Milestones Indicating Increasing Disability

    Time frame: Yearly for up to 15 years

    The percentage of participants that reach EDSS milestones such as 4.0, 6.0, and 7.0 sustained after 6 months. The EDSS measures disability status on a scale ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more disability. Scoring is based on measures of impairment in eight functional systems on examination by a neurologist.

  7. Percentage of Participants whose EDSS Worsened, Stabilized or Improved and Sustained over 6 Months

    Time frame: Yearly for up to 15 years

  8. Evaluation of Baseline Disease Characteristics as Prognostic Indicators for Disease Activity and Disability Progression Over Time

    Time frame: Yearly for up to 15 years

    Baseline disease characteristics evaluated will include: EDSS; Disease duration at baseline; Number of relapses during 1 and 2 years before baseline; Previous use of disease modifying therapy; Age, gender.

  9. Evaluation of Short-Term (1 year) Disease Outcomes as Prognostic Indicators for Disease Activity and Disability Progression Over Time

    Time frame: Yearly for up to 15 years

    Short term outcomes evaluated will include: EDSS progression during first 12 months; Occurrence of relapses during first 12 months
