Brief Summary

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

The objective of this study is to evaluate patient satisfaction in hepatitis C patients receiving PegIntron pen plus Rebetol. The rationale is that the effectiveness of treatment is correlated with adherence to the prescribed regimen which, in turn, is affected by the ease of use and accuracy of treatment administration. Since the PegIntron pen is a novel device, the results of this study will be used to improve the training of patients and healthcare providers in PegIntron pen use.
