| Main Objective: To characterize the pharmacokinetics of tocilizumab (TCZ) through Day 28;Secondary Objective: - To characterize the pharmacodynamics of TCZ through Day 60 - To evaluate the safety of TCZ through Day 60;Primary end point(s): 1. Serum concentrations of TCZ at specified timepoints and derived PK parameters (maximal serum concentration [Cmax], area under the concentration-time curve up to Day 28 [AUCDays 0-28], serum concentration on Day 28 [CDay28], total clearance of drug [CL], and volume of distribution);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Up to Day 28 | — |
Secondary
