Decrease of natalizumab drug levels after switching from intravenous to subcutaneous administration in patients with multiple sclerosis

Alyssa A. Toorop et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the change in natalizumab trough drug levels when switching from intravenous to subcutaneous administration. It was found that the drug levels were on average 55% lower with subcutaneous administration, leading to very low levels in some patients. Monitoring of trough drug levels is advised when switching to subcutaneous administration in patients with low intravenous drug levels, higher body mass index, or extended treatment intervals.

Serum neurofilament light levels in natalizumab-treated patients with multiple sclerosis who switch to extended interval dosing from every-4-week dosing in real-world clinical practice

John Foley et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare levels of sNfL in patients with MS who switched from natalizumab every 4 weeks (Q4W) to extended interval dosing (EID) and patients who remained on Q4W dosing. The results showed no significant difference in sNfL levels between patients who switched to EID and those who stayed on Q4W dosing, suggesting that the effectiveness of natalizumab is maintained in patients who switch to EID.

Extended dosing of monoclonal antibodies in multiple sclerosis

Zoe L. E. van Kempen et al.

Summary: Over the past two decades, there has been a significant increase in treatment options for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Personalized or extended interval dosing, particularly using monoclonal antibodies, is being increasingly explored as a way to optimize MS therapy. Studies on altered dosing intervals of monoclonal antibodies in MS treatment are ongoing and provide promising insights for future research and clinical practice.

Comparison of switching to 6-week dosing of natalizumab versus continuing with 4-week dosing in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (NOVA): a randomised, controlled, open-label, phase 3b trial

John F. Foley et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of natalizumab dosing once every 6 weeks compared to once every 4 weeks in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The results showed a numerical difference in the number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions at week 72 between the two dosing regimens, which reached statistical significance under the secondary estimand. The safety profiles of natalizumab dosing once every 6 weeks and once every 4 weeks were similar.

No increase of serum neurofilament light in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients switching from standard to extended-interval dosing of natalizumab

Magnus Johnsson et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of extending the dosing interval of natalizumab (NZ) from 4 to 6 weeks on serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) concentrations in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The results showed that extending the NZ dosing interval did not increase axonal damage in patients with RRMS, as determined with sNfL.

Mild progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy after switching from natalizumab to ocrelizumab

Alyssa A. Toorop et al.

Summary: Two patients with relapsing-remitting MS developed carryover PML after switching from natalizumab to ocrelizumab. Despite mild immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) and increasing NfL levels, PML-IRIS lesions stabilized after treatment and both patients continued therapy with ocrelizumab.

Summary: Extending the dosing interval of natalizumab (EID) does not increase the risk of active lesions on MRI compared to standard interval dosing (SID) in JCV-positive multiple sclerosis patients.

A randomized study of natalizumab dosing regimens for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis

Maria Trojano et al.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of natalizumab administered via various regimens in RRMS patients. The results showed that natalizumab 300 mg subcutaneous Q4W was comparable to 300 mg intravenous Q4W dosing with respect to efficacy, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and safety.

Does Extended Interval Dosing Natalizumab Preserve Effectiveness in Multiple Sclerosis? A 7 Year-Retrospective Observational Study

Javier Riancho et al.

Summary: Observational study on the long-term effectiveness of natalizumab with extended interval dosing (EID) in multiple sclerosis patients treated for over 7 years showed that EID preserved treatment efficacy and prevented disability worsening during follow-up. Patients treated with natalizumab for the first time showed slightly better response to EID therapy compared to those previously treated with other immunosuppressive drugs.

No evidence for loss of natalizumab effectiveness with every-6-week dosing: a propensity score-matched comparison with every-4-week dosing in patients enrolled in the Tysabri Observational Program (TOP)

Helmut Butzkueven et al.

Summary: This study, using propensity score-matched cohorts from the Tysabri Observational Program, demonstrates that the effectiveness of natalizumab is maintained in patients who switch from every-4-week (Q4W) dosing to every-6-week (Q6W) dosing after more than 1 year of treatment. Annualized relapse rates, probability of remaining relapse free, and safety outcomes did not differ significantly between Q6W and Q4W patients.
