Brief Summary

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

To determine the relapse rate at 24 weeks follow up in Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 Low Viral Load (HCV LVL G1) patients treated for 24 weeks with Peg Intron and Rebetol who are Hepatitis C Virus-Ribonucleic Acid (HCV-RNA) negative at treatment week 4 and week 24. To determine the proportion of patients (%) with sustained virological response at 24 weeks post follow up treatment.
