Study Summary

This 2 arm study will compare 2 treatment strategies based on tocilizumab in combination with methotrexate or placebo in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Patients receiving methotrexate treatment will be randomized to receive either a) tocilizumab 8 mg intravenous (iv) every 4 weeks + methotrexate orally (po) weekly or b) tocilizumab 8 mg iv every 4 weeks + placebo po weekly. After the first 24 weeks of blinded treatment, treatment adjustments (increase or decrease of treatment intensity) may be introduced at intervals, based on response. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 3 years, and the target sample size is approximately 470 patients.

Primary Outcome

The DAS28 score is a measure of the patient's disease activity calculated using the tender joint count (TJC) \[28 joints\], swollen joint count (SJC) \[28 joints\], patient's global assessment of disease activity \[visual analog scale: 0=no disease activity to 100=maximum disease activity\] and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) for a total possible score of 0 to approximately 10. Scores below 2.6 indicate best disease control and scores above 5.1 indicate worse disease control. DAS28 Remi
