• Conditions: Rheumatoid Arthritis

• Registration Number: NCT01194401
• Lead Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche

Brief Summary

This prospective, multi-center observational study will assess the long-term efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra in daily practice in patients with active moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response or are intolerant to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists. Data will be collected from patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to label by decision of the treating physician.
