Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MabThera in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to one prior anti-TNF alpha inhibitor. MabThera-naive patients will be stratified into 3 arms, according to previous inadequate response to a)etanercept, b)infliximab or c)adalimumab. Patients will be treated with MabThera (1g infusion) on day 1 and day 15, and will continue their basic methotrexate therapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Disease Activity Score Based on 28-Joint Count (DAS28)
The DAS28 consists of swollen joint count (SJC) and tender joint count (TJC) measurements, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in millimeters per hour (mm/hr), and the Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (participant-ated rheumatoid arthritis \[RA\] activity assessment) with transformed scores ranging 0 to 10; higher scores indicated greater affectation due to disease activity). DAS28 less than or equal to (≤)3.2 equals (=) low disease activity, DAS28 greater than (\>)3.2 to 5.1 = moderate to high disease activity.
