Clinical Course of Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Post-Natalizumab.

Natalizumab is an efficacious disease modifying therapy (DMT) for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), often limited by risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. We describe the clinical course of RRMS patients switched from natalizumab to another DMT. We identified all RRMS patients treated with natalizumab ≥3 months with JC virus antibody positivity who switched to another DMT. Overall, 84 individuals switched DMT with 57 (68%) beginning fingolimod. On fingolimod, survival without a relapse was 74% (55.8-85.6%) at 36 months and survival without disease progression was 78% (62.6-87.6%) at 36 months. In conclusion, fingolimod is an effective therapy post-natalizumab.
