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.

Primary | Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Synovitis Measured by Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials (OMERACT) Rheumatoid Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Image Scoring System (RAMRIS) Score | Synovitis is defined as an area in the synovial compartment that shows above normal postgadolinium enhancement of a thickness greater than the width of the normal synovium. T1-weighted images were acquired before and after the administration of intravenous contrast agent containing gadolinium. Intravenous contrast was required to demonstrate enhancing synovitis. Three wrist regions (distal radioulnar joint, radiocarpal joint, the intercarpal and intermetacarpal joint) and the 2nd to 5th metacarpophalangeal (MCP) were assessed for synovitis via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and scored using a scale ranging from 0-3 where 0 is normal and scores 1-3 (mild, moderate, severe) are by thirds of the presumed volume of enhancing tissue in the synovial compartment. These values were then summed yielding scores of 0-9 in the wrist region, 0-12 for MCP joints, and 0-22 on the aggregate. A negative value in synovitis change from Baseline score indicates an improvement. | Week 12 | |
Secondary | Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in OMERACT RAMRIS Score | RAMRIS score is the sum of its core components: Synovitis Score, Edema Score, and Erosion Score. Synovitis scored from 0 (normal) to 9 (maximum distension of synovial cavity). Edema scored 0 (normal) to 69 (maximum articular bone involvement). Erosion scored from 0 (normal) to 230 (maximum erosion of articular bone). RAMRIS=Synovial Score plus (+) Edema Score + Erosion Score. Minimum RAMRIS score=0 (normal), maximum RAMRIS score=308 (severe structural damage). For Synovial Score, Edema Score, Erosion Score, and RAMRIS score, increasing number=increasing severity. | Week 12 | |

Secondary | Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in OMERACT RAMRIS Bone Erosion Score | Bones from the wrist regions (carpal bones, distal radius, distal ulna and metacarpal bases) and the MCP joints (metacarpal heads and phalangeal bases) were assessed for erosion via MRI and scored separately based on the proportion of eroded bone compared to the 'assessed bone volume' judged from all available images. Scoring ranges from 0 (no erosion) to 10 (91-100%). For long bones, the 'assessed bone volume' is from the articular surface to a depth of 1 centimeter (cm) (if the articular surface is absent its best estimated position is used), and in carpal bones it is the whole bone. Results were summed, resulting in scores from 0 to 80 for the wrist region, 0 to 150 for the MCP joints, and 0 to 230 on aggregate.

Secondary | Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE)-MRI Early Enhancement Rate (EER) Global Score | Contrast enhancement was quantified in terms of initial rate of enhancement (IRE) and number of voxels (Nvox), which are extracted by examining individual signal intensity vs time curves derived from defined regions of interest (ROIs). A volume ROI was manually drawn around wrist and MCP 2-5 joints at each visit representative of size/volume of enhancement and underlying inflammation. Maximum enhancement (ME)=mean of ME and Nplateau+Nwashout (Nvoxels) are number of voxels that have a plateau and washout, used to assess volume of enhancing voxels within drawn ROIs. IRE=percentage increase of signal intensity (SI) until l ME is reached calculated as maximum increase in post-contrast SI divided by baseline SI; IRE=increase in SI in %/s from time of onset of enhancement to ME. EER reflects the IRE parameter and the output is the mean from all the assessed ROIs (range=between 0 and 1; 0=no change/enhancement, 1=maximum change/enhancement.

Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 12 in C-Reactive Protein (CRP) | The test for CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay. A decrease in the level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement. CRP was measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). | Week 12 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 24 in CRP | The test for CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay. A decrease in the level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement. | Week 24 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Serum Cortisol | Change in serum cortisol was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 12. | Week 12 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Serum Cortisol | Change in serum cortisol was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 24. | Week 24 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Plasma Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH) | Change in Plasma ACTH was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 12. | Week 12 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Plasma ACTH | Change in plasma ACTH was determined as the difference in the scores at baseline and Week 24. | Week 24 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Serum Androstenedione | Change in serum androstenedione was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 12. | Week 12 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 12 in 17 Hydroxy Progesterone (17OHP) | Change in 17OHP was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 12. | Week 12 | |

Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 24 in 17OHP | Change in 17OHP was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 24. | Week 24 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Serum Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) | Change in DHEA was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 12. | Week 12 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Serum DHEA | Change in DHEA was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 24. | Week 24 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Neuropeptide Y | Change in Neuropeptide Y was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 12. | Week 12 | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Neuropeptide Y | Change in Neuropeptide Y was determined as the difference in the scores at Baseline and Week 24. | Week 24 |
