Pre-existing conditions that worsened and laboratory or clinical tests that resulted in change in treatment or discontinuation from treatment were reported as AEs. Serious AE: resulted in death, life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was congenital anomaly/birth defect or was medically significant. Severe AE: AE that caused inability to work or perform normal daily activity. AEs of special interest: Serious infections (including opportunistic infections), Myocardial infarction/Acute coronary syndrome, Gastrointestinal perforations and related AE, Malignant neoplasms, Anaphylaxis event, Demyelination-related events, Stroke, Spontaneous or serious bleeding, Serious/medically significant hepatic events. Any AE included serious and non-serious AE.

Overall percentage of participants with clinical remission (any level) are reported.

  7. Change From Baseline in Joints With Active Arthritis at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of Follow up [Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of follow up (up to 101 weeks)]

  8. Change From Baseline in Number of Joints With Limitation of Movement at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of Follow up [Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of follow up (up to 101 weeks)]

    The maximum number of joints with limitation of movement is 67 and these were defined as those with 'limitation of motion'.

    The physician provides a rating of the participant's arthritis disease activity on a 0 to 100 mm horizontal scale. The extreme left end of the line represents 'arthritis inactive' (ie, symptom-free and no arthritis symptoms) and the extreme right end represents 'arthritis very active'. A higher score indicates more disease activity. A negative change score indicates improvement.

  10. Change From Baseline in PtGA of Overall Well-Being at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of Follow up [Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of follow up (up to 101 weeks)]

    The participant or parent/guardian, as appropriate, provides a rating of the participant's well-being on a 0 to 100 mm horizontal scale. The extreme left end of the line represents 'very well' (ie, symptom-free and no arthritis disease activity) and the extreme right end represents 'very poor' (ie, maximum arthritis disease activity). A higher score indicates poorer well-being. A negative change score indicates improvement.

  11. Change From Baseline in ESR at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of Follow up [Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of follow up (up to 101 weeks)]

    The CHAQ-DI, as a measure of functional ability, consists of 30 questions in 8 domains: Dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. There are 4 possible responses to each question (0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do). A domain score is the highest score in that domain. To calculate the overall score, the participant must have a domain score in at least 6 of the 8 domains. The CHAQ-DI score is the sum of the domain scores divided by the number of domains that have a non-missing score and ranges from 0 (best) to 3 (worst). A higher score indicates less ability.

Description JIA ACR90 response was defined as 3 of any 6 core outcome variables improved by at least 90% of the baseline assessments, with no more than 1 of the remaining variables worsened by more than 30%. Six core variables were: PGA of disease activity using VAS from left end of line 0 (inactive arthritis) to right end of line 100 (very active arthritis); PtGA of overall well-being using a VAS from left end of line 0 (very well) to right end of line 100 (very poor); Number of joints with active arthritis (joints with swelling not due to deformity or joints with limitation of motion and with pain, tenderness or both); Number of joints with limitation of movement; Health Assessment Questionnaire: 20 questions in 8 areas (dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and activities) answered on a scale of 0=without difficulty to 3=unable to do; and ESR.

Title Change From Baseline in Childhood Health Assessment - Disability Index (CHAQ-DI) at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of Follow up
Description The CHAQ-DI, as a measure of functional ability, consists of 30 questions in 8 domains: Dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. There are 4 possible responses to each question (0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do). A domain score is the highest score in that domain. To calculate the overall score, the participant must have a domain score in at least 6 of the 8 domains. The CHAQ-DI score is the sum of the domain scores divided by the number of domains that have a non-missing score and ranges from 0 (best) to 3 (worst). A higher score indicates less ability.

21. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in CHAQ-DI (Reach) Score at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84 and End of Follow up
Description The CHAQ-DI, as a measure of functional ability, consists of 30 questions in 8 domains: Dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. Reach component was measured on 0-3 scale (0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do).
Time Frame Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, End of follow up (up to 101 weeks)

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Safety population. Here, 'n' signifies the number of participants with available data for specified category.
Arm/Group Title Tocilizumab
Arm/Group Description Participants received tocilizumab 8 mg/kg via IV infusion, once every 4 weeks for up to 104 weeks or until tocilizumab became commercially available, whichever occurred first.
