Overview
Brief Summary
This open-label, single arm, multicenter long-term extension study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of tocilizumab (RoActemra/Actemra) in participants with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have completed the 104-week WA19926 core study. Eligible participants will receive tocilizumab 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks for up to 104 weeks.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: Up to 160 weeks
An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any AE that is fatal; life-threatening; requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect in a neonate/infant or significant medical event in the Investigator's judgment. AE of special interest (AESI) includes serious and/or medically significant infectious; myocardial infarction(MI) / acute coronary syndrome (ACS); gastrointestinal (GI) perforation; anaphylaxis / hypersensitivity reactions; demyelinating disorders; stroke; serious and/or medically significant bleeding events; serious and/or medically significant hepatic events; malignancies malignant.
