Brief Summary

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

This 2 arm open-label study will assess the safety and tolerability of combination treatment with Peginterferon alfa (Pegasys) and Ribavirin (Copegus) in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Patients will be assigned to receive Peginterferon alfa (Pegasys) 180 mcg sc once a week and Ribavirin (Copegus) 800 - 1200 mg po daily for either 24 or 48 weeks. Allocation to the treatment arms is to the discretion of the investigator (mainly according to genotype). Adverse events will be monitored throughout the study and hematologic parameters every 2 weeks and twice during the 24-week follow-up.
