Brief Summary

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

The PROVE3 trial is a partially double blinded, randomized, Phase 2 research study of an investigational drug, Telaprevir (VX-950) or Placebo, with Pegylated Interferon Alfa 2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a, Pegasys®), and Ribavirin (RBV, Copegus®) in people with genotype 1 hepatitis C who have not achieved a Sustained Viral Response (SVR) with a previous treatment of interferon therapy.

Exclusion Criteria

* Participation in any clinical trial of a HCV protease inhibitor of any duration
