The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) decided that RoActemra’ s benefits are greater than its risks, in combination with methotrexate, for the treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients who have either responded inadequately to, or who were intolerant to, previous therapy with one or more disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs or TNF antagonists, or as monotherapy in case of intolerance to methotrexate or where continued treatment with methotrexate is inappropriate.
