      Trial Summary

      This retrospective cohort study will analyze data from multiple large U.S. health insurance claims databases to compare use of tocilizumab to other biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in real world patients with RA. Using the date of dispensing as the index date, the analysis will compute the time to first event for several cardiovascular outcomes.
