Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Tocilizumab in Moderate to Severe Active RA

Moderate to severe active RA participants, receiving tocilizumab treatment according to effective official Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC), will be observed. The choice of therapy will be based exclusively on the medical decision of the treating physician before study enrollment. The study protocol does not enforce treatment initiation and also does not specify any treatment regimen.

Tocilizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will receive tocilizumab treatment according to effective official SPC. The study protocol does not enforce treatment initiation and also does not specify any treatment regimen.
