Brief Summary

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

Naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) of any genotype will be treated with a standard treatment regimen (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) according to routine clinical practice in Russia. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of insulin resistance on the safety and efficacy of treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin and to determine the prevalence of insulin resistance in different populations of CHC patients.

Patients with chronic hepatitis C

Naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) of any genotype will be treated with a standard treatment regimen (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) according to routine clinical practice in Russia.

Pegylated Interferon

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Routine treatment with a combination of any pegylated interferon and ribavirin was used according to the label/local practice in Russia.

The treatment course duration complied with the labeled dosage regimen. Each dose of pegylated interferon was administered as a subcutaneous

injection calculated as 1.5 mcg/kg once a week. Therapy duration varied from 24 to 48 weeks depending on Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype, viral load, activity and stage of hepatitis C.

The Sponsor did not provide formal drug supply.

Ribavirin

Intervention Type DRUG

Routine treatment with a combination of any pegylated interferon and ribavirin was used according to the label/local practice in Russia.

The treatment course duration complied with the labeled dosage regimen. Ribavirin was taken orally as 200 mg gelatinous capsules. The daily dose varied from 800 to 1200 mg (depending on patient's body weight) twice daily in the

morning and in the evening with meal. Therapy duration varied from 24 to 48 weeks depending on HCV genotype, viral load, activity and stage of hepatitis C.

The Sponsor did not provide formal drug supply.
