* Concurrent therapy with drugs that slow heart rate (e.g., beta-blockers, heart-rate lowering calcium channel blockers such as diltiazem or verapamil, or digoxin).
* Hypertension not controlled with prescribed medications.
* History of severe respiratory disease, pulmonary fibrosis or class III or IV chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Key Inclusion Criteria for Healthy Volunteers:

* Subjects who are generally healthy as demonstrated by physical examination and by medical history, with no history or evidence of major illnesses, diseases, or disorders.
* Subjects of childbearing potential must practice effective contraception and be willing and able to continue contraception for duration of the study.
* No history of drug or alcohol abuse (as defined by the Investigator) within 1 year prior to study screening.

Key Exclusion Criteria for Healthy Volunteers:

* Claustrophobia sufficient to interfere with generating reliable MRI scans.
* History of other major illness including neurological disorders as determined by the Investigator.
* Presence of a metal device affected by MRI (e.g., any type of electronic, mechanical or magnetic implant, cardiac pacemaker, aneurysm clips, implanted cardiac defibrillator) or potential ferromagnetic foreign body (metal slivers, metal shavings, other metal objects), which would be a contraindication for MRI.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of natalizumab compared to fingolimod on the evolution of new on-treatment T1-gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) lesions to persistent black holes (PBH) over 52 weeks. The secondary objectives of this study in this study population are to assess the effect of natalizumab compared to fingolimod on: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of central nervous system (CNS) tissue destruction as measured by the number of new T1-Gd+ lesions; various other MRI measures of disease activity; No Evidence of Disease Activity (NEDA); Relapse on treatment over 52 weeks; The change in information processing speed as measured by the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT).
