| Primary objectives of this study are to determine if natalizumab is effective in reducing the rate of clinical relapse at 1 year and in slowing the progression of disability at 2 years as measured by EDSS. [ Time Frame: 1 year and 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] |
| The primary outcome objective was to determine whether add natalizumab to Avonex reduces the number clinical relapses and the level of disability at 1 year |
