Official title

A Multicenter, Retrospective, Observational Study Evaluating Real-world Clinical Outcomes in Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis Patients Who Transition From Tysabri® (Natalizumab) to Tecfidera® (Dimethyl Fumarate)

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate relapse activity, as measured by the proportion of participants relapsed at 12 months, in participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who transition from Tysabri (BG00002) to Tecfidera (BG00012) in the real-world setting. The secondary objective is to further evaluate relapse activity, defined as annualized relapse rate (ARR), hospitalization and intravenous corticosteroid use, during the first year of Tecfidera treatment following transition from Tysabri treatment.
