1. What tysabri is and what it is used for

Tysabri is used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). It contains the active substance natalizumab. This is called a monoclonal antibody.

MS causes inflammation in the brain that damages the nerve cells. This inflammation happens when white blood cells get into the brain and spinal cord. This medicine stops the white blood cells getting through to the brain. This reduces nerve damage caused by MS.

Symptoms of multiple sclerosis The symptoms of MS vary from patient to patient, and you may experience some or none of them.

They may include: walking problems, numbness in the face, arms or legs; problems with vision; tiredness; feeling off-balance or light headed; bladder and bowel problems; difficulty in thinking and concentrating; depression; acute or chronic pain; sexual problems; stiffness and muscle spasms.
When the symptoms flare up, it is called a relapse (also known as an exacerbation or an attack). When a relapse occurs, you may notice the symptoms suddenly, within a few hours, or slowly progressing over several days. Your symptoms will then usually improve gradually (this is called a remission).

How Tysabri can help In trials, this medicine approximately halved the build-up of disability caused by MS, and decreased the number of MS attacks by about two-thirds. While you are treated with this medicine you might not notice any improvement, but it may still be working to prevent your MS becoming worse.

2. What you need to know before you take tysabri

Before you start treatment with this medicine, it is important that you and your doctor have discussed the benefits you could expect to receive from this treatment and the risks that are associated with it.

You must not be given Tysabri
If you are allergic to natalizumab or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If you have been diagnosed with PML (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy). PML is an uncommon infection of the brain.

If your immune system has a serious problem. This may be due to disease (such as HIV), or to a medicine you are taking, or have taken in the past (see below).

If you are taking medicines that affect your immune system, including certain other medicines used to treat MS. These medicines cannot be used with Tysabri.

If you have cancer (unless it is a type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma).

Warnings and precautions

You need to discuss with your doctor whether Tysabri is the most suitable treatment for you. Do this before you start taking Tysabri, and when you have been receiving Tysabri for more than two years.

Possible brain infection (PML)

Some people receiving this medicine (fewer than 1 in 100) have had an uncommon brain infection called PML (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy). PML can lead to severe disability or death.

Before starting treatment, all patients will have blood tests arranged by the doctor for JC virus infection. JC virus is a common virus that does not normally make you ill. However, PML is linked to an increase of JC virus in the brain. The reason for this increase in some patients treated with Tysabri is not clear. Before and during treatment, your doctor will test your blood to check if you have antibodies to the JC virus, which are a sign that you have been infected by the JC virus.

Your doctor will arrange a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, which will be repeated during treatment to rule out PML.

The symptoms of PML may be similar to an MS relapse (see section 4, Possible side effects). You can also get PML up to 6 months after stopping Tysabri treatment.

Tell your doctor as soon as possible if you notice your MS getting worse, if you notice any new symptoms while you are on Tysabri treatment or for up to 6 months afterwards.

Tell your partner or caregivers about what to look out for (see also section 4, Possible side effects). Some symptoms might be difficult to spot by yourself, such as changes in mood or behaviour, confusion, speech and communication difficulties. If you get any of these, you may need further tests. Keep looking out for symptoms in the 6 months after stopping Tysabri.

Keep the patient alert card you have been given by your doctor. It includes this information. Show it to your partner or caregivers.

Three things can increase your risk of PML with Tysabri. If you have two or more of these risk factors, the risk is increased further:

If you have antibodies to the JC virus in your blood. These are a sign that the virus is in your body. You will be tested before and during Tysabri treatment.

If you are treated for a long time with Tysabri, especially if it is more than two years.

If you have taken a medicine called an immunosuppressant, that reduces the activity of your immune system.

Another condition, called JCV GCN (JC virus granule cell neuronopathy), is also caused by JC virus and has occurred in some patients receiving Tysabri. The symptoms of JCV GNC are similar to PML.

For those with a lower risk of PML, your doctor may repeat the test regularly to check that:

You still do not have antibodies to the JC virus in your blood.

If you have been treated for more than 2 years, you still have a lower level of JC virus antibodies in your blood.

If someone gets PML
PML can be treated, and Tysabri treatment will be stopped. However, some people get a reaction as Tysabri is removed from the body. This reaction (known as IRIS or immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome) may lead to your condition getting worse, including worsening of brain function.

Look out for other infections Some infections other than PML may also be serious and can be due to viruses, bacteria, and other causes.

Tell a doctor or nurse immediately if you think you have an infection (see also section 4, Possible side effects).

Changes in blood platelets Natalizumab may reduce platelets in the blood which are responsible for clotting. This may result in a condition called thrombocytopenia (see section 4) in which your blood may not clot quickly enough to stop bleeding. This can lead to bruising as well as other more serious problems such as excessive bleeding. You should talk to your doctor immediately if you have unexplained bruising, red or purple spots on the skin (called petechiae), bleeding from skin cuts that does not stop or oozes, prolonged bleeding from the gums or nose, blood in urine or stools, or bleeding in the whites of your eyes.

Children and adolescents Do not give this medicine to children or adolescents under the age of 18 years.

Other medicines and Tysabri Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

You must not be given this medicine if you are now being treated with medicines that affect your immune system, including certain other medicines to treat your MS.

You might not be able to use this medicine if you have previously had any medicines that affect your immune system.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant, unless you have discussed this with your doctor. Be sure to tell your doctor immediately if you get pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or if you are planning to become pregnant.

Do not breast-feed whilst using Tysabri. Your doctor will help you decide whether you should choose to stop breast-feeding or stop using the medicine.

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. The risk to the baby and benefit to the mother will be taken into consideration by your doctor.

Driving and using machines Dizziness is a very common side effect. If you are affected, do not drive or use machines.

Tysabri contains sodium Each vial of this medicine contains 2.3 mmol (or 52 mg) of sodium. After dilution for use, this medicinal product contains 17.7 mmol (or 406 mg) sodium per dose. This should be considered if you are on a controlled sodium diet.

3. How to take tysabri

Tysabri IV infusion will be given to you by a doctor experienced in the treatment of MS. Your doctor may switch you directly from another medicine for MS to Tysabri if there are no problems caused by your previous treatment.

Your doctor will order blood tests for antibodies to the JC virus and other possible problems.

Your doctor will arrange an MRI scan, which will be repeated during treatment.

To switch from some MS medicines, your doctor may advise you to wait for a certain time to ensure that most of the previous medicine has left your body.

For adults the recommended dose is 300 mg, given once every 4 weeks.

Tysabri must be diluted before it is given to you. It is given as a drip into a vein (by intravenous infusion), usually in your arm. This takes about 1 hour.

Information for medical or healthcare professionals on how to prepare and administer the medicine is provided at the end of this leaflet.

If you stop using Tysabri Regular dosing with Tysabri is important, especially in the first few months of treatment. It is important to continue with your medicine for as long as you and your doctor decide that it is helping you. Patients who received one or two doses of Tysabri, and then had a gap in treatment of three months or more, were more likely to have an allergic reaction when restarting treatment.

Checking for allergic reactions A few patients have had an allergic reaction to this medicine. Your doctor may check for allergic reactions during the infusion and for 1 hour afterwards. See also section 4, Possible side effects.

If you miss your dose of Tysabri If you miss your usual dose of Tysabri, arrange with your doctor to receive it as soon as you can. You can then continue to receive your dose of Tysabri every 4 weeks.

Will Tysabri always work? In a few patients receiving Tysabri, the body s natural defences may stop the medicine from working properly over time, as the body develops antibodies to the medicine. Your doctor can decide whether this medicine is not working properly for you from blood tests and will stop the treatment, if necessary.

If you have any further questions on Tysabri, ask your doctor. Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor if you are not sure.
