Table 3.

Percentage change in absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) by prior natalizumab (NAT) exposure.


Patients with prior NAT exposure

Patients without prior NAT exposure
Mean,×109/la(n = 132)b Mean % change from baselinec Mean,×109/la(n = 344) Mean % change from baselinec
Baseline 2.90 1.97
Month 6 1.41 (1.34–1.48) –51.3 1.34 (1.29–1.39) –32.1
Month 12 1.21 (1.13–1.29) –58.2 1.25 (1.19–1.31) –36.4
Month 15 1.15 (1.07–1.23) –60.4 1.22 (1.16–1.29) –37.8

aValues in parentheses represent mean 95% confidence intervals.

bUp to 180 days prior to dimethyl fumarate (DMF), 132 patients received NAT (two patients received NAT >180 days prior to DMF and were excluded from the analysis).

cMean values at months 6, 12, and 15 were estimated using a repeated-measures mixed-effects model with baseline ALC, time (log-transformed), and baseline ALC×time interaction effect. Time (log-transformed) was a random effect. Percentage change was estimated from baseline and the estimated mean change.
