A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Efficacy of Natalizumab on Reducing Disability Progression in Subjects With Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, With Optional Open-Label Extension

This is a Phase 3b, multicenter, international study conducted in 2 parts. Upon completion
of the placebo-controlled period (Part 1), participants will have the option of enrolling in
a 2-year open-label extension (Part 2).

Part 1: The primary objective of the study is to investigate whether treatment with
natalizumab slows the accumulation of disability not related to relapses in participants
with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS).

The secondary objectives of Part 1 of this study are to determine the proportion of
participants with consistent improvement in Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), the change in
participant-reported ambulatory status as measured by the 12-item MS Walking Scale
(MSWS-12), the change in manual ability based on the ABILHAND Questionnaire, the impact of
natalizumab on participant-reported quality of life using the Multiple Sclerosis Impact
Scale-29 Physical (MSIS-29 Physical), the change in whole brain volume between the end of
study and Week 24 using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the proportion of participants
experiencing progression of disability as measured by individual physical Expanded
Disability Status Scale (EDSS) system scores.

Part 2: The primary objective of Part 2 of the study is to evaluate the safety profile of
natalizumab in participants with SPMS.

The secondary objectives of Part 2 of the study are to investigate long-term disability
(based on clinical or patient-reported assessments) in participants with SPMS receiving
natalizumab treatment for approximately 4 years and to assess change in brain volume and T2
lesion volume.


Key Inclusion Criteria (Part 1):

- Ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated
informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (PHI) in
accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations.

- Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) defined as relapsing-remitting
disease followed by progression of disability independent of or not explained by
multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses for at least 2 years.

- Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 3.0 to 6.5, inclusive.

- Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score (MSSS) of 4 or higher.

- Documented confirmed evidence of disease progression independent of clinical relapses
over the 1 year prior to enrollment as defined in the Study Reference Guide.

Key Exclusion Criteria (Part 1):

- Relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) or primary progressive multiple
sclerosis (MS) as defined by the revised McDonald Committee criteria.

- Clinical relapse (within 3 months) prior to randomization.

- Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW) test of >30 seconds during the screening period.

- Any value below the lower limit of normal for blood levels of leukocytes,
lymphocytes, or neutrophils.

- Considered by the Investigator to be immunocompromised based on medical history,
physical examination, laboratory testing, or any other testing required by local
guidelines, or due to prior immunosuppressive or immunomodulating treatment.

- Subjects for whom magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is contraindicated (i.e., have
pacemakers or other contraindicated implanted metal devices, are allergic to
gadolinium, or have claustrophobia that cannot be medically managed).

- History of any clinically significant (as determined by the Investigator) cardiac,
endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary,
neurologic (other than MS), dermatologic, psychiatric, and renal, or other major
disease that would preclude participation in a clinical study.

- History of malignant disease, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies
(with the exception of basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin that have
been completely excised and are considered cured).

- Known history of or positive test result for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

- Positive test result for hepatitis C virus (test for hepatitis C virus antibody [HCV
Ab]) or hepatitis B virus (test for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] and/or
hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb]).

- History of transplantation or any anti-rejection therapy.

- Presence of any infectious disease (e.g., cellulitis, abscess, pneumonia, septicemia)
within 30 days prior to screening.

- History of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) or other opportunistic
infections.

Treatment History (Part 1)

- Any prior treatment with cell-depleting therapies, including total lymphoid
irradiation, cladribine, rituximab, alemtuzumab, or bone marrow ablation.

- Any prior treatment with natalizumab.

- Treatment with mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, azathioprine,
methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, T cell or T cell receptor vaccination,
fingolimod, daclizumab, or cytapheresis within 6 months prior to randomization.

- Treatment with intravenous or oral corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin
(IVIg), or plasmapheresis for treatment of multiple sclerosis within the 3 months
prior to randomization.

- Treatment with glatiramer acetate or any interferon beta preparations within 4 weeks
prior to randomization.

- Treatment with 4-aminopyridine within 30 days prior to randomization, unless a stable
dose has been maintained for at least 30 days prior to randomization and will be
continued for the course of this study.

Key Inclusion Criteria (Part 2):

- Subjects must have participated in and completed Part 1 per protocol, and have
documented assessment attempts for Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed
25-Foot Walk (T25FW), and 9-Hole Peg Test (9HPT) prior to first open-label dosing.

Key Exclusion Criteria (Part 2):

- Subjects with any significant change in clinical status, including laboratory tests
that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make them unsuitable to participate
in this extension study. The Investigator must re-review the subject's medical
fitness for participation and consider any diseases that would preclude treatment.

- Subjects who discontinued study treatment in Part 1 OR had fewer than 20 infusions in
Part 1 OR missed 2 or more consecutive infusions in Part 1.

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
