Efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of natalizumab in Japanese multiple sclerosis patients: A double-blind, randomized controlled trial and open-label pharmacokinetic study
文摘
Natalizumab is an antibody treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. This study investigated natalizumab efficacy and safety in Japanese patients. New brain lesion development rate was lower with natalizumab than placebo (p<0.001). Annualized relapse rate was 0.53 for natalizumab and 1.73 for placebo (p<0.001). Natalizumab had a favorable safety and tolerability profile in Japanese patients.
