Brief Summary

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

This open-label extension study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of SC TCZ in participants with moderate to severe RA who have completed the 97-week WA22762 (NCT01194414) or 96-week NA25220 (NCT01232569) core studies on SC or intravenous (IV) TCZ. Participants will receive TCZ 162 milligrams (mg) SC every week (QW) or every 2 weeks (Q2W) for up to 96 weeks.
