Brief description/objective

STUDY DESIGN
Overview of Study Design
This is a non-interventional, multicenter, study consisting of 2 prospective cohorts of patients diagnosed with moderate to severe active RA and initiated/treated with abatacept SC. In some countries, patients can only be included in an observational study if already under treatment, so that inclusion in the study is clearly distinguished from therapeutic decision.
The 2 cohorts will be defined as follows:
 Cohort 1 will focus on patients naïve of abatacept and any other biologics agents and
 Cohort 2 will focus on patients naïve of abatacept and who previously failed one or more
biologic treatment.
