Data are shown for all patients with central radiological assessment who received at least one dose of tocilizumab (N =28). aPercentages are based on 22 arteries assessed in each patient. Imaging data were evaluated at 96 weeks (day 673; range, days 505–841). If multiple scans were available during the time window, the scan conducted closest to the scheduled date was used. NA, not applicable.
