Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Tocilizumab

Experimental: SC TCZ QW - Participants who received IV TCZ in the previous trial will be switched to SC TCZ 162 mg QW, and those who received SC TCZ will continue at their same dosage of SC TCZ 162 mg QW. Tocilizumab will be given for an additional 96 weeks in this open-label extension study.

Experimental: SC TCZ Q2W - Participants who received SC TCZ will continue at their same dosage of SC TCZ 162 mg Q2W. Tocilizumab will be given for an additional 96 weeks in this open-label extension study.


Treatment: Drugs: Tocilizumab
TCZ will be given as 162 mg SC QW or Q2W for up to 96 weeks.

Summary
Brief summary
This open-label extension study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of SC TCZ in
participants with moderate to severe RA who have completed the 97-week WA22762 (NCT01194414)
