Popis: 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. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01051349; first registered on January 15, 2010.
