| Measure |
Peginterferon Alpha-2a
Eligible participants were administered peginterferon alpha-2a \[Pegasys\] \[40 kilo Dalton (kDa)\], 180 micrograms (mcg) as a subcutaneous injection, once in a week, for 48 weeks. Participants with a calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of \<15 milliliter (mL)/minute (min) were administered a reduced dose of 135 mcg as a subcutaneous injection, once in a week, for 48 weeks.

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, are life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or results in disability/incapacity, and congenital anomaly/birth defect
