Brief Summary

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

This study is being conducted to learn more about the safety and effect of telaprevir in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) in participants with hepatitis C who have never been treated for their hepatitis C virus (HCV). The study is designed to look at the relative benefits of 24 or 48 weeks of total treatment in people who respond quickly to a telaprevir-based treatment.
