Brief Summary

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

Adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen with PegIntron and Rebetol affects the chance of achieving a sustained virologic response in patients with hepatitis C. The objective of this study is to evaluate the proportion of patients who complete treatment with PegIntron pen and Rebetol while participating in a patient assistance program. The patient assistance program can consist of prophylactic treatment (eg, with growth factors, psychiatric medications) or other interventions (eg, psychotherapy, patient support groups, visiting nurse, nurse telephone calls, educational literature).
