About

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to assess the efficacy of tocilizumab plus non-biological DMARD in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to non-biological DMARDS. Patients will be randomized to receive either intravenous tocilizumab at 8mg/kg (minimal dose 480mg, maximum dose 800mg) or placebo every 4 weeks, in addition to their stable dose of non-biological DMARD. Anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks, and target sample size is <100.
