NCT ID NCT04777539
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether it is safe for people with multiple sclerosis to receive their natalizumab (Tysabri) infusions at home instead of at a hospital. Researchers compared serious side effects, quality of life, and costs over one year in 295 patients. The goal was to see if home treatment is a good option for managing MS.
