Natalizumab and Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy: What are the Causal Factors and Can It be Avoided?
Arch Neurol 67:923-930, Warnke,C., et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Since reapproval in 2006, additional cases of PML were reported in patients with MS receiving natalizumab monotherapy. Thus, there is currently no convincing evidence that natalizumab-associated PML is restricted to combination therapy with other disease-modifying or immunosuppressive agents. In addition, recent data indicate that risk of PML might increase beyond 24 months of treatment.
