Summary
Brief summary
This multi-center, observational study will evaluate the treatment patterns in clinical practice, efficacy and safety of tocilizumab in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response (or were intolerant to) treatment with non-biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or with one biological agent. Data will be collected from each eligible participant initiated on tocilizumab treatment by their treating physician according to approved label for 6 months from start of treatment.
