Brief Summary

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

This single arm study will provide treatment or re-treatment with PEGASYS as monotherapy or in combination with ribavirin (Copegus), to patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) who have participated in a previous Roche or Roche partner protocol where access to treatment or re-treatment was promised or deemed appropriate following completion of the original protocol ('donor' protocol). Patients who qualify for treatment or re-treatment will begin PEGASYS monotherapy, at a maximum dose of 180 µg weekly, or combination therapy with Copegus, 800-1200 mg daily, as continuation of treatment after the wash-out period defined in their donor protocol. PEGASYS treatment is not to exceed the approved treatment duration of 48 weeks in genotype G1 with a treatment-free follow up period of 24 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pegylated-interferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin

Participants received pegylated-interferon alfa-2a 180 µg/week subcutaneously plus ribavirin 1000 mg/day orally for patients weighing \< 75 kg or 1200 mg/day for patients weighing ≥ 75 kg for 48 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pegylated-interferon alfa-2a

Intervention Type DRUG

Pegylated-interferon alfa-2a was administered subcutaneously once weekly.

Ribavirin

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants received ribavirin with food, as the bioavailability of ribavirin is increased when taken with food. Ribavirin was administered as split doses, that is, 2 doses were given 12 hours apart, 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. Participants received either 1000 or 1200 mg ribavirin per day according to body weight: 400 mg (2 tablets) in the morning and 600 mg (3 tablets) in the evening for participants weighing \< 75 kg or 600 mg (3 tablets) in the morning and 600 mg (3 tablets) in the evening for participants weighing ≥ 75 kg.
