Abstract
Background: Biomarkers of neuronal and axonal damage (serum neurofilament light (sNfL) and serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP)) may provide insight into the aetiology of natalizumab wearing-off symptoms (WoSs).
Objectives: We investigated the longitudinal association between and predictive value of sNfL and sGFAP and the occurrence of WoS in MS patients treated with natalizumab.
Methods: We performed longitudinal measurements of sNfL and sGFAP in NEXT-MS trial participants who completed a questionnaire about WoS.
Results: A total of 364 participants were included. In total, 55.5% presented with WoS and 44.5% without WoS during natalizumab treatment. Longitudinal analyses showed no association between sNfL and sGFAP levels and WoS at any timepoint. Biomarker levels at baseline did not predict first-time WoS occurrence.
Conclusion: Acute and chronic neuronal and axonal damage are most likely not the underlying cause of WoS.
