Observed clinical trial rate in patients who received a mean of. monthly doses of natalizumab Incidence estimates by treatment duration are calculated based on YABRI exposure through August 31, and confirmed cases as of eptember 2,. he incidence for each time period is calculated as the number of PML cases divided by the number of patients exposed to YABRI (e.g. for infusions all PML cases diagnosed with exposure of infusions or more divided by the total number of patients exposed to at least infusions).
