OBJECTIVE: The potential of magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for the detection and evolution of new multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions was analyzed. METHODS: Nineteen patients with MS obtained conventional MRI, MTI, and DTI examinations bimonthly for 12 months and again after 24 months at 1.5 T MRI. MTI was acquired with balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) in 10 min (1.3 mm3 isotropic resolution) yielding both magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) and quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT) parameters (pool size ratio (F), exchange rate (kf), and relaxation times (T1/T2)). DTI provided fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD), and radial diffusivity (RD). RESULTS: At the time of their appearance on MRI, the 21 newly detected MS lesions showed significantly reduced MTR/F/kf and prolonged T1/T2 parameters, as well as significantly reduced FA and increased AD/MD/RD. Significant differences were already observed for MTR 4 months and for qMT parameters 2 months prior to lesions' detection on MRI. DTI did not show any significant pre-lesional differences. Slightly reversed trends were observed for most lesions up to 8 months after their detection for qMT and less pronounced for MTR and three diffusion parameters, while appearing unchanged on MRI. CONCLUSIONS: MTI provides more information than DTI in MS lesions and detects tissue changes 2 to 4 months prior to their appearance on MRI. After lesions' detection, qMT parameter changes promise to be more sensitive than MTR for the lesions' evolutional assessment. Overall, bSSFP-based MTI adumbrates to be more sensitive than MRI and DTI for the early detection and follow-up assessment of MS lesions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: When additionally acquired in routine MRI, fast bSSFP-based MTI can complement the MRI/DTI longitudinal lesion assessment by detecting MS lesions 2-4 months earlier than with MRI, which could implicate earlier clinical decisions and better follow-up/treatment assessment in MS patients. KEY POINTS: • Magnetization transfer imaging provides more information than DTI in multiple sclerosis lesions and can detect tissue changes 2 to 4 months prior to their appearance on MRI. • After lesions' detection, quantitative magnetization transfer changes are more pronounced than magnetization transfer ratio changes and therefore promise to be more sensitive for the lesions' evolutional assessment. • Balanced steady-state free precession-based magnetization transfer imaging is more sensitive than MRI and DTI for the early detection and follow-up assessment of multiple sclerosis lesions.
OBJECTIVE: SELECTED, an open-label extension study, evaluated daclizumab beta treatment for up to 6 years in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis who completed the randomized SELECT/SELECTION studies. We report final results of SELECTED. METHODS: Eligible participants who completed 1-2 years of daclizumab beta treatment in SELECT/SELECTION received daclizumab beta 150 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks for up to 6 years in SELECTED. Safety assessments were evaluated for the SELECTED treatment period; efficacy data were evaluated from first dose of daclizumab beta in SELECT/SELECTION. RESULTS: Ninety percent (410/455) of participants who completed treatment in SELECTION enrolled in SELECTED. Within SELECTED, 69% of participants received daclizumab beta for > 3 years, 39% for > 4 years, and 9% for > 5 years; 87% of participants experienced an adverse event and 26% a serious adverse event (excluding multiple sclerosis relapse). No deaths occurred. Overall, hepatic events were reported in 25% of participants; serious hepatic events in 2%. There were no confirmed cases of immune-mediated encephalitis. Based on weeks from the first daclizumab beta dose in SELECT/SELECTION, adjusted annualized relapse rate (95% confidence interval) for weeks 0-24 was 0.21 (0.16-0.29) and remained low on continued treatment. Overall incidence of 24-week confirmed disability progression was 17.4%. Mean numbers of new/newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions remained low; percentage change in whole brain volume decreased over time. CONCLUSIONS: The effects of daclizumab beta on clinical and radiologic outcomes were sustained for up to ~ 8 years of treatment. No new safety concerns were identified in SELECTED.

BACKGROUND: Daclizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody against CD25 that modulates interleukin 2 signaling. The SELECT TRILOGY of clinical studies (SELECT/SELECTION/SELECTED) evaluated the safety and efficacy of daclizumab in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). We report the long-term safety and efficacy of daclizumab 150 mg subcutaneous every 4 weeks in patients with RRMS in the SELECTED open-label extension study. METHODS: An interim intent-to-treat analysis of all enrolled patients was performed in January 2014 for this ongoing study. RESULTS: The SELECTED study enrolled 90% of patients who completed SELECTION. In the safety and efficacy analysis (N = 410), median treatment time in SELECTED was 25 months (range, <1-45). Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 76% of patients, serious AEs (SAEs) excluding MS relapse in 16%, and treatment discontinuation due to AEs including multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse in 12%. AEs were primarily of mild to moderate severity, and common AEs (≥10%), excluding MS relapse, were nasopharyngitis (12%) and upper respiratory tract infection (12%). Most commonly reported SAEs (in ≥3 patients), excluding MS relapses, were increased serum hepatic enzymes, pneumonia, ulcerative colitis, and urinary tract infection (<1% each). Incidences of AE groups of interest include cutaneous events (28%), cutaneous SAEs (2%), gastrointestinal SAEs (2%), hepatic SAEs, (1%) and malignancies (1%). The incidence of AEs, SAEs, and treatment-related study discontinuations did not increase over time and no deaths were reported. The adjusted annualized relapse rate (95% confidence interval (CI)) analyzed at 6-month intervals was 0.15 (0.10-0.22) for weeks 97-120 and 0.15 (0.10-0.21) for weeks 121-144. In year 3, the adjusted mean (95% CI) number of new/newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions was 1.26 (0.93-1.72) and the mean (median) annualized change in brain volume was -0.32% (-0.34%). CONCLUSIONS: The AE incidence did not increase with extension of therapy into year 3 in SELECTED; the safety profile was similar to that previously observed. The clinical efficacy of daclizumab was sustained over the 3 years comprising the SELECT TRILOGY, although potential selection bias cannot be excluded.

BACKGROUND: In the SELECT trial, disease activity was reduced in patients with multiple sclerosis who received daclizumab high-yield process (HYP) for 52 weeks. The primary aim of the SELECTION extension study was to assess the safety and immunogenicity of extended treatment with daclizumab HYP. METHODS: A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, 52-week extension trial was done in 74 centres in the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, India, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and the UK between Feb 13, 2009, and Oct 3, 2012. Eligible patients were aged 18-55 years, had relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, and had completed the SELECT study. Patients who received placebo in SELECT were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive 150 mg or 300 mg subcutaneous daclizumab HYP every 4 weeks for 52 weeks (treatment initiation group); those who had received daclizumab HYP were randomly assigned (1:1) to continue their present dose with (washout and re-initiation group) or without (continuous treatment group) a washout period of 20 weeks. All randomisation was done with a centralised, interactive voice-response system. Patients and personnel were masked to treatment assignment, except for the site pharmacist who prepared the study drug but had no interaction with patients. The primary endpoints were the safety and immunogenicity of daclizumab HYP. Analyses were by intention to treat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00870740. FINDINGS: 517 (91%) of 567 patients who completed the SELECT trial entered SELECTION, of whom 170 were in the treatment initiation group, 173 in the continuous treatment group, and 174 in the washout and re-initiation group. 11 patients in the treatment initiation group (6%), 13 in the continuous treatment group (8%), and ten in the washout and re-initiation group (6%) had any serious adverse event other than relapse of multiple sclerosis. One patient in the washout and re-initiation group (300 mg daclizumab HYP) died because of autoimmune hepatitis; a contributory role of daclizumab HYP could not be excluded. Seven patients tested positive for neutralising antidrug antibodies: one (1%) of 128 for whom data were available in the continuous treatment group (this patient also tested positive at SELECTION baseline), four (2%) in the treatment initiation group, and two (2%) of 129 in the washout and re-initiation group. INTERPRETATION: Adverse events and immunogenicity were not increased in the second year of continuous treatment with daclizumab HYP or during treatment washout and re-initiation. These results support further assessment of daclizumab HYP for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. FUNDING: Biogen Idec and AbbVie Biotherapeutics.
