This is a phase 3 study to compare efficacy and safety of CT-P47 and RoActemra in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis.
CT-P47, containing the active ingredient tocilizumab, is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that is being developed as a similar biological medicinal product to RoActemra/Actemra. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate similar efficacy and safety of CT-P47 and RoActemra in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when co-administered with methotrexate.

Mean Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) Using Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) at Week 24
The DAS28(ESR) score was derived using the following formulae: DAS28 (ESR)=(0.56 ×√TJC28)+(0.28 × √SJC28)+(0.70 × ln\[ESR\])+(0.014 ×GH) Where: * TJC28 = number of tender joints (0-28): tender joint count (TJC) * SJC28 = number of swollen joints (0-28): swollen joint count (SJC) * ESR = ESR measurement (mm/hour) * GH = patient's global disease activity measured on VAS (mm: 0-100) DAS28 (ESR) values could be ranged from 0 to 10 while higher values mean a higher disease activity.
Time frame: Week 24
Mean Change From Baseline in DAS28 (ESR) at Week 32
The DAS28(ESR) score was derived using the following formulae: DAS28 (ESR)=(0.56 ×√TJC28)+(0.28 × √SJC28)+(0.70 × ln\[ESR\])+(0.014 ×GH) Where: * TJC28 = number of tender joints (0-28): tender joint count (TJC) * SJC28 = number of swollen joints (0-28): swollen joint count (SJC) * ESR = ESR measurement (mm/hour) * GH = patient's global disease activity measured on VAS (mm: 0-100) DAS28 (ESR) values could be ranged from 0 to 10 while higher values mean a higher disease activity.
Time frame: Week 32
ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 Response Rate at Week 24
ACR20 is defined as both improvement of 20% in the number of tender and number of swollen joints, and a 20% improvement in the three of the following five criteria: 1) patient global assessment of disease activity, 2) physician global assessment of disease activity, 3) functional ability measure using Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), 4) visual analog pain scale, and 5) erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-reactive protein (CRP). ACR50 and ACR70 are the same instruments with improvement levels defined as 50% and 70% respectively versus 20% for ACR20.
