Brief Summary

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

Patients with HCV genotype 1 and IL28B CC Polymorphism who have a rapid virological response to treatment are randomised to either 24 or 48 weeks HCV treatment. Our hypothesis is that there is no important difference in effect between the two treatment effect.

24-Week treatment group

Genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C patients with IL28B CC Polymorphism and rapid virological response(undetectable HCV RNA at weeks 4) in this group will be treated with Peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin for an additional 20 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Peginterferon alfa2a

Intervention Type DRUG

patients receive a dose of 180 µg of PEGASYS once a week for 24 weeks

Ribavirin

patients receive a dose 800 to 1200 mg of ribavirin once a day(according to weight) for 24 weeks

48-Week treatment group

Genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C patients with IL28B CC Polymorphism and rapid virological response(undetectable HCV RNA at weeks 4) in this group will be treated with Peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin for an additional 44 weeks
