Primary Outcome(s)

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

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 taken for T25FW increased by
at least 20% of the baseline walk, 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 9HPT: Time taken for 9HPT increased by at
least 20% of the time taken at baseline, 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). The progression in 9HPT can occur on either hand, but will have to be confirmed on the same hand.
Part 2: The primary endpoint in Part 2 of the study is the incidence of
AEs and SAEs

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.

Secondary Outcome(s)

Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints for this study are as follows:

=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 end point: Part 1:
• % T25FW responders (every 3 months)
• Change from baseline in MSWS-12 score to Week 96 (every 3 months)
• Change from baseline in ABILHAND Questionnaire scores to Week 96
(every 3 months)
• Change from baseline in MSIS-29-Physical score to Week 96 (every 6
months)
• % change from Week 24 in whole brain volume at Week 96 (every 6
months)
• % 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 (6 month intervals)
