About this study
Official title: A Phase 4, Open-label, Repeat-Dose Study of the Safety and Pharmacodynamic Profile of Tocilizumab and Concomitant Methotrexate in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
This is an open-label, uncontrolled, observational study in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are receiving tocilizumab concomitantly with methotrexate as part of their standard of care.
Read the detailed description
This single arm, open label study evaluates the safety and pharmacodynamic profile of tocilizumab in RA patients. Participating patients are among those for whom tocilizumab is indicated and who are scheduled to receive tocilizumab as part of their normal care, in full compliance with the FDA-approved prescribing information. Study assessments consist of clinical evaluations and laboratory tests conducted in conjunction with the first three monthly intravenous infusions of tocilizumab. These assessments are designed to provide a better understanding of the pharmacodynamic effects and mechanistic actions of tocilizumab and help guide the clinical development of other therapeutic agents for RA. A total of 15 patients are expected to participate for approximately 10 weeks.
