Tysabri Lawyers Florida

Biogen Idec Inc. and Elan Corp. announced they have willingly withdrawn Tysabri from the market after one patient died and another developed a serious disease of the central nervous system after taking it in combination with another drug. Tysabri was recently approved to treat multiple sclerosis.

Both companies have also suspended supplying and marketing the drug and counseled doctors to suspend prescribing the medication. The companies have additionally stopped using the drug in clinical trials. The choice to withdraw the drug came after recent reports of two cases of serious effects among patients who used it along with an earlier Biogen Idec MS drug, called Avonex, in clinical trials.

In one case, the person died, while in another, the person developed a suspected case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, a rare and frequently fatal disease of the central nervous system. Both patients had taken Tysabri for more than two years in combination with Avonex, the companies said.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare disorder of the nervous system that primarily affects individuals with suppressed immune systems: such as patients with cancers leukemia, lymphoma, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Tysabri, which was called Antegren during clinical trials, in an accelerated process after a late-stage study showed that it reduced MS relapses by 66 percent compared with a placebo. About 5,000 patients have received intravenous infusions of Tysabri since the drug's approval in November.

Tysabri is also known by the generic name natalizumab.
