| Secondary | Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) Score by Visit | The SDAI is a combined index for measuring disease activity in RA and calculated as SDAI = TJC28 + SJC28 + PGH (in centimeters) + PhGH (in centimeters) + CRP (in mg/dL), where TJC28 = tender joint count on 28 units, SJC28 = swollen joint count on 28 units, PGH = patient's global assessment of disease activity, assessed on a 100 mm VAS, where 0 = managing very well and 100 = managing very poorly, PhGH = physician global assessment of disease activity, assessed on a 100 mm VAS, where 0 = no arthritis activity and 100 = extremely active arthritis, CRP = serum concentration of c-reactive protein; with a total SDAI score ranged from 0-86. Higher scores indicate greater disease activity. SDAI scores of less than or equal to 3.3 represents clinical remission, less than or equal to 11.0 represents low disease activity, less than or equal to 26.0 represents moderate disease activity, and greater than 26.0 represents high (or severe) disease. | FAS population. Here, Number of participants analyzed = participants evaluable for the outcome measure and n= participants with SDAI score available at the specified visit. | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale | Baseline, Month 3, Month 6 |

| Secondary | Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20%, 50%, or 70% (ACR20/50/70) Response at Month 3 and Month 6 From the Start of Tocilizumab Treatment | ACR 20,50 or 70 response=an improvement of ≥ 20%, ≥ 50% or ≥ 70% respectively, as compared to baseline in TJC28 and SJC28, and 20%, 50% or 70% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following measures: Patient's Assessment of Pain over the previous 24 hours, PGA, PhGA, HAQ, and acute phase reactant (either CRP or ESR). TJC and SJC, based on 28-joint assessments. Number of tender joints and swollen joints were recorded on the joint assessment form at baseline, no tenderness = 0 and tenderness = 1, no swelling = 0 and swelling =1, respectively. HAQ measures functional status (disability) and health-related quality of life with 20 questions, summarized in 8 categories: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities over past week, 0=without difficulty to 3=unable to do. Patient's assessment of pain assessed using a VAS; 0=no pain, 100=unbearable pain; PGA and PhGA, assessed using VAS ; 0= no disease activity, 100=maximum disease activity. | FAS population. Here, Number of participants analyzed = participants evaluable for the outcome measure and n= participants with available data for the specified visit. | Posted | Number | 95% Confidence Interval | percentage of participants | Month 3 and Month 6 |

|
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI Score at Months 3 and 6 | The HAQ-DI is a questionnaire that measures functional status (disability) and health-related quality of life. It measures the participant's ability to perform everyday tasks. The index consists of 20 questions regarding the function of the upper and lower extremities. These questions are summarized in 8 categories: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities over past week. Each question was evaluated according to the degree of severity on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 = without any difficulty to 3 = unable to do. Total score is the sum of each question, which ranges from 0 to 60, where higher scores represent higher disease activity. The change from baseline in HAQ-DI score at Month 3 and Month 6 was calculated as the difference between HAQ-D1 score reported at baseline and the HAQ-D1 score reported at Month 3 and Month 6. | FAS population. Here, Number of participants analyzed = participants evaluable for the outcome measure and n = participants with available HAQ-DI score at specified visit. | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale | Baseline, Month 3, Month 6 |
