From reading the article, the trial is being conducted to monitor the safety aspect of Tysabri. It didn't mention any data being collected to show what benefit the patients may or may not be getting from taking the drug.

I would hope that patients who have to quit using the drug because of side effects or other problems will end up in the data at the end of 5 years.
