    On April 7, Biogen announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved the subcutaneous injection (SC) agent TYSABRI® (natalizumab, natalizumab) for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS).


    The European Commission’s approval of the route of administration of TYSABRI® SC is based on data from clinical studies DELIVER and REFINE.


    Approved by the European Union in 2006, the effectiveness and safety of TYSABRI have been proven through clinical trials and a large amount of real evidence collected in the past 15 years.


    TYSABRI increases the risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare opportunistic viral infection associated with death or severe disability.


    TYSABRI also increases the risk of encephalitis and meningitis caused by herpes simplex and herpes zoster viruses.
