Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare PEG-interferon alfa-2b and two different doses of rivavirin for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in previously untreated adult subjects

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objective:

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different PEG-interferon and Ribavirin regimens in patients who have not previously been treated for Hepatitis C. Patients have an equal chance to assignment to one of two treatment arms:

Treatment Arm A:

PEG-interferon 1.5 mcg/kg2 QW + Ribavirin 800 mg/day

OR

Treatment Arm B:

PEG-interferon 1.5mcg/kg2 QW + Ribavirin 800 to 1400 mg/day

Arm A \& Arm B: Duration of treatment will be 48 weeks for genotype 1 patients and 24 or 48 weeks for genotype 2 or 3 patients.
