Brief summary:
The primary objectives for the initial treatment period of this study are to further evaluate the safety of natalizumab monotherapy by evaluating the risk of hypersensitivity reactions and immunogenicity following re-exposure to natalizumab and confirming the safety of switching from interferon (IFN), glatiramer acetate, or other multiple sclerosis (MS) therapies to natalizumab. The primary objective for the long-term treatment period of this study is to evaluate the long-term impact of natalizumab monotherapy on the progression of disability measured by Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) changes over time.

Detailed description:
Study 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) was conducted to evaluate the safety of natalizumab monotherapy following re-exposure to natalizumab in former clinical trial participants in Studies C-1801 (NCT00027300), C-1802 (NCT00030966), and C-1803 (NCT00097760) and included subjects in North America. In parallel with the conduct of that study, this study (101-MS-321 \[NCT00297232\]) was initiated for participants in Europe and the rest of the world. In addition, after 48 weeks, participants from 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592) could enter study 101-MS-321 (NCT 00297232), which was considered the Long-Term Treatment Period of 101-MS-322 (NCT00306592).

The primary purpose and primary outcome for both studies are identical; therefore, the combined long-term data from both studies are presented. (Combined Week 48 data from both studies are presented in the 101-MS-322 \[NCT00306592\] record.)
