Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This single arm, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with active, moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to non-biologic and/or biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Patients will receive intravenous RoActemra/Actemra at a dose of 8 mg/kg every 4 weeks. Anticipated time on study treatment is 96 weeks.
