About this study
Official title: A Multinational, Prospective, Non-interventional Study, to Assess Real World Use of a Tocilizumab Biosimilar in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
The goal of this non interventional study is to evaluate the use of Tyenne, a tocilizumab biosimilar, in a real world setting in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients over a period of 12 months.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
- What is the patients' persistence on Tyenne (patient's ability to continue the treatment for the prescribed duration), 6 months after treatment start?
- What is the patients' persistence on Tyenne (patient's ability to continue the treatment for the prescribed duration), 12 months after treatment start?
The decision of prescribing Tyenne will be done by the physician independently, prior to patient enrolment in the study. Enrolled patients will be followed for 12 months following Tyenne treatment start, or until they permanently discontinue Tyenne.
There will be one baseline visit and three follow-up visits at approximately 3, 6 and 12 months after Tyenne treatment initiation. All follow-up visits will be conducted according to the physician current clinical practice and are not imposed due to this protocol.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Persistence of tocilizumab treatment 6 months after treatment start with Tyenne, a tocilizumab biosimilar
A patient is considered to still be on tocilizumab biosimilar treatment (persistence equal "Yes") if no permanent discontinuation of the tocilizumab biosimilar treatment and no lost to follow-up is reported by the investigator before the visit. A patient will be considered to have discontinued the tocilizumab biosimilar (not persistent) at 6 month timepoint if a) the investigator reports a permanent discontinuation of the treatment before the timepoint or b) the patient is lost to follow-up at the timepoint. Temporary cessations of the biosimilar will not be considered as treatment discontinuation, and the treatment will be considered persistent.
Measured: 6 months after treatment start
Secondary outcomes (4)
Persistence of tocilizumab treatment 12 months after treatment start with Tyenne, a tocilizumab biosimilar
A patient is considered to still be on tocilizumab biosimilar treatment (persistence equal "Yes") if no permanent discontinuation of the tocilizumab biosimilar treatment and no lost to follow-up is reported by the investigator before the visit. A patient will be considered to have discontinued the tocilizumab biosimilar (not persistent) at 12 month timepoint if a) the investigator reports a permanent discontinuation of the treatment before the timepoint or b) the patient is lost to follow-up at the timepoint. Temporary cessations of the biosimilar will not be considered as treatment discontinuation, and the treatment will be considered persistent.
Measured: 12 months after treatment start

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The goal of this non interventional study is to evaluate the use of Tyenne, a tocilizumab biosimilar, in a real world setting in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients over a period of 12 months.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the patients' persistence on Tyenne (patient's ability to continue the treatment for the prescribed duration), 6 months after treatment start?
- What is the patients' persistence on Tyenne (patient's ability to continue the treatment for the prescribed duration), 12 months after treatment start?
The decision of prescribing Tyenne will be done by the physician independently, prior to patient enrolment in the study. Enrolled patients will be followed for 12 months following Tyenne treatment start, or until they permanently discontinue Tyenne.
There will be one baseline visit and three follow-up visits at approximately 3, 6 and 12 months after Tyenne treatment initiation. All follow-up visits will be conducted according to the physician current clinical practice and are not imposed due to this protocol.
