DRUG

Tocilizumab

Baseline: Tocilizumab (infusion of 8 mg/kg bodyweight or a maximum of 800 mg) will be infused over 60 minutes at the end for the study day, therefore study visit 1 (study day 1) measurements are baseline.

DRUG

Saline 0.9%

Participants are under influence of tocilizumab since the effect of the drug will last for 4 weeks. Participants will be infused with saline at study visit 2 (study day 21). Placebo to tocilizumab will be saline (NaCl 0.9%) as tocilizumab is a colorless solution and has to be diluted with NaCl 0.9% prior to administration
