The primary purpose of this study is to obtain long-term safety data with CZP in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Additional objectives are to assess the dose and type of Arthritis medication(s) utilized by patients, and to assess the long-term impact of CZP on physical function. Treatment will continue up to approval of a marketing application for this product.

Percentage of Subjects With at Least One Adverse Event (AE) During the Study Period of 8 Years
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or trial subject that is administered a drug or biologic (medicinal product) or that is using a medical device. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with that treatment or usage. First dose of CZP was at Baseline of one of the feeder studies C87011 \[NCT00548834\] or C87014 \[NCT00544154\] for subjects randomized to CZP, or at First Visit (Week 0) of this study for subjects randomized to Placebo.
Time frame: From first dose of CZP up to 8 years

Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ- DI) at Completion Visit or Early Withdrawal Visit
The HAQ-DI assesses the degree of difficulty experienced in eight domains (Dressing and Grooming, Arising, Eating, Walking, Hygiene, Reach, Gripping, Other Activities) of daily living activities using 20 questions. The HAQ-DI is calculated by summing the domain scores and dividing them by the number of domains. It ranges from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). Negative values indicate an improvement from Baseline to the Post-Baseline Visit with larger negative values showing a better improvement.
