CGs will perform injection of SC tocilizumab to a subset of participants with RA using the AI-1000 G2 device. Visit 1 (Day 0) will be conducted for administration training, while Visits 2 and 3 (Days 14 and 28) will be conducted for use/performance evaluation.
HCPs will perform injection of SC tocilizumab to a subset of participants with RA using the AI-1000 G2 device. Because enrolled HCPs are to be professionally qualified to deliver SC injections, no administration training will be provided. Visits 2 and 3 (Days 14 and 28) will be conducted for use/performance evaluation.
Participants with RA will perform self-injection of SC tocilizumab with the AI-1000 G2 device. Visit 1 (Day 0) will be conducted for administration training, while Visits 2 and 3 (Days 14 and 28) will be conducted for use/performance evaluation.
