|---|---|
| Main Objective: 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 subjects with SPMS. Part 2: The primary objective of Part 2 of the study is to evaluate the safety profile of natalizumab in subjects with SPMS;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of Part 1 of this study are to determine:• the proportion of subjects with consistent improvement in Timed 25-foot Walk • the change in subject-reported ambulatory status as measured by the 12-item MS Walking Scale • the change in manual ability based on the ABILHAND Questionnaire • the impact of natalizumab on subjectreported quality of life using the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 Physical • the change in whole brain brain volume between the end of study and Week 24 using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) • the proportion of subjects experiencing progression of disability as measured by individual physical Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) system scores; The secondary objectives of Part 2 of the study are as follows: • To investigate long-term disability (based on clinical or patient-reported assessments) in subjects with SPMS receiving natalizumab treatment for approximately 4 years. • To assess change in brain volume and T2 lesion volume.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Part 1: at 6 month intervals Part 2: as necessary ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is a binary outcome of confirmed progressors or non-progressors of disability, where progressors are defined as subjects who meet at least one of the following criteria: · Confirmed progression in EDSS: EDSS score increased from baseline by at least 1 point if baseline EDSS =5.5 or by at least 0.5 points if baseline EDSS = 6, confirmed at a second visit at least 6 months later and at Week 96 (or at the last available study visit for subjects who withdraw from the study early) · Confirmed progression in T25FW: Time take | — |

| Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints for this study are as follows: • Percentage of T25FW responders (defined as any improvement from best pre-dose T25FW in at least 75% of the scheduled on-treatment visits through Week 96). • Change from baseline in MSWS-12 score to Week 96. • Change from baseline in ABILHAND Questionnaire cores to Week 96. • Change from baseline in MSIS-29-Physical score to Week 96. • Percentage change from Week 24 in whole brain volume at Week 96. • Percentage of subjects experiencing confirmed worsening in the individual EDSS Physical Functional System Scores where confirmed is defined as 2 examinations at least 6 months apart Part 2: The secondary endpoints in Part 2 of the study are as follows: •Percentage of subjects with disability worsening at each scheduled efficacy visit in Part 2, defined as one or more of the following: =20% worsening from Part 1 baseline in T25FW, =20% worsening from Part 1 baseline in 9HPT, or worsening from Part 1 baseline in EDSS (=1 point increase if Part 1 baseline EDSS =5.5 or =0.5 point increase if Part 1 baseline EDSS >5.5). •Absolute and percentage change in T25FW, 9HPT, and EDSS, from Part 1 baseline to each scheduled efficacy visit in Part 2, in all subjects and in subjects with and without disability worsening as defined above. •Absolute and percentage change in the 6MWT, MSIS-29 Physical, and SDMT, from Part 1 baseline to each scheduled efficacy visit in Part 2. •Absolute and percentage change in the WPAI-MS Questionnaire over the Extension Phase, from Part 2 baseline to each scheduled efficacy visit in Part 2. •Percentage change in whole brain volume from Week 24 (Part 1) to each scheduled efficacy visit in Part 2. •Percentage change in gray matter brain volume from Part 1 baseline to each scheduled efficacy visit in Part 2. •Absolute and percentage change in number of new/enlarging T2 lesions from Part 1 baseline to each scheduled efficacy visit in Part 2. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this | — |
