This is an open-label study of patients with relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis designed to assess the longitudinal pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, immunological, and biochemical sample collection with MRI and relapse analysis of a Tysabri patient cohort. The study hopes to identify secondary and tertiary risk stratification markers that would aid in the clinical management of patients who are JC antibody positive.
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) has been related to the utilization of Tysabri as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The etiologic agent is the human polyomavirus JC. PML can result from lytic infection of glial cells via a mutant JC virus in multiple sclerosis patients being actively treated with Tysabri. The mutated JC virus is a neurotrophic virus that infects only humans. "The regulatory region sequence of the JC virus is hypervariable and contains determinants for neurotropism and neurovirulence." (Jensen and Major, 2001). In patients initially infected for the most part in childhood the virus tends to remain quiescent in kidneys, bone marrow and lymphoid tissue. The true incidence of JC virus seroprevalance is currently being assessed via two Biogen Idec clinical trials (STRATIFY 1 101JC401 and STRATIFY 2 101JC402). Application has been made to the FDA regarding a label change for Tysabri which will incorporate the use of the JC antibody assay. Upon FDA approval of the label change, the JC assay will serve as a primary risk stratification tool in the clinical use of Tysabri. Secondary and tertiary risk stratification markers would greatly aid in the clinical management of patients who are JC antibody positive.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Duration Effect of natalizumab | Primary: To further understand the duration effect of natalizumab at the biochemical, cellular, and pharmacokinetic levels in natalizumab patients; identify biomarkers which could aid in patient risk modification for (PML). Assess the stability of natalizumab concentration via pharmacokinetic measurement in ug/ml. | 18 months |

|---|---|---|
| Stability of cell trafficking inhibition | Secondary endpoint: Assess the stability of cell trafficking inhibition produced through steady state Natalizumab administration through an infusion cycle. Cell trafficking is measured via sVCAM, measurement units ng/mL. | 18 months |

Patients with relapsing forms of MS. Conducted at one site in the US. Subjects currently enrolled in TOUCH Prescribing Program, and participated in Foley 001-001-TY eligible.
Subset of approx. 40 patients to participate in Part B. 11 high risk bivalent patients 11 low risk monovalent patients 9 patients who participated in 2009 PK/PD study (Biogen Idec, 101MS406) 9 patients with infusion cycle of 38 days plus or minus 2 days
Part C "Intracellular energetic in Tysabri therapy":
Patients whose iATP fell into the bottom 20th percentile will be asked to participate in a sub-study that includes Part A with the addition of collecting iATP. This number is approximately 50 participants.
Part D patients from 001-001-TY with low or normal IgG4 levels will be asked to participate in sub-study for an additional IgG4 assay collected at 3-5 days post-infusion. This number is approximately 30 participants.
