Brief Summary
This open-label single-arm study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of tocilizumab \[RoActemra/Actemra\] in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who experience an inadequate clinical response to a stable dose of non-biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) or anti-tumor necrosis factors (TNFs). RoActemra/Actemra will be administered as a monotherapy or in combination with DMARDs. RoActemra/Actemra will be administered as intravenous infusion at a dose of 8 mg/kg every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusions. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks. The target sample size is 50-150 patients.
