Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a 12-week total regimen of telaprevir in combination with pegylated interferon alfa 2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) (T12/PR12) is safe and effective in subjects who have the interleukin-28B (IL28B) CC genotype. The subjects enrolled in this study will have chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and will not have cirrhosis of the liver.

Telaprevir 12 Week (Wk)+Peg-IFN-alfa-2a,RBV 12 Wk (Randomized)

Telaprevir 1125 milligram (mg) tablet twice daily for 12 weeks in combination with pegylated interferon alfa 2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) 180 microgram per week (mcg/week) subcutaneous injection and ribavirin (RBV) tablet orally twice daily at a dose of 1000 milligram per day (mg/day) for subjects weighing less than (\<) 75 kilogram (kg) and 1200 mg/day for subjects weighing greater than or equal to (\>=) 75 kg, for 12 weeks. Only subjects who completed initial 12 week of telaprevir and Peg-IFN/RBV and met rapid viral response (RVR, undetectable Hepatitis C Virus \[HCV\] Ribonucleic Acid \[RNA\] at Week 4) criteria, were randomized in this group, as planned, and did not receive any further treatment.

Only subjects with RVR who permanently discontinued telaprevir, Peg-IFN-alfa-2a, or RBV treatment before Week 12, and had extended rapid viral response (eRVR, undetectable HCV RNA at Weeks 4 and 12), were included in this group, as planned.

Only subjects with no RVR or no RVR assessment, and subjects with RVR who permanently discontinued telaprevir, Peg-IFN-alfa-2a, or RBV treatment before Week 12, who did not have eRVR or eRVR assessment, were included in this group, as planned.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male and female subjects, 18 to 70 years of age, inclusive
* Treatment-naive OR subjects (prior relapsers) may be included who did not achieve sustained viral response 24 weeks after last planned dose of study drug (SVR24) after at least 1 prior course of Peg-IFN/RBV therapy of standard duration and had a documented undetectable HCV RNA level at the planned end of treatment of at least 42-week duration
* Subjects have IL28B CC genotype determined during screening
* Subjects have genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C and laboratory evidence of HCV infection for at least 6 months, defined by (1) documented HCV serology test at least 6 months before the first screening visit demonstrating the presence of anti-HCV antibody, or (2) documented presence of HCV RNA by a sensitive and specific assay at least 6 months before the first screening visit, or (3) documented histologic evidence of chronic hepatitis C demonstrated by fibrosis on a standardized histologic grading system at least 6 months before the first screening visit. If only inflammation is present in the liver histologic report, then 6 months of laboratory evidence is required

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects have received previous treatment with telaprevir or any other protease inhibitor(s) for chronic hepatitis C
* Subjects who did not achieve SVR24 after at least 1 prior course of Peg-IFN/RBV therapy of standard duration and never achieved undetectable HCV RNA while on treatment
* Subjects have evidence of hepatic decompensation
* Subjects have evidence of cirrhosis
* Subjects have diagnosed or suspected hepatocellular carcinoma
* Subjects have any other cause of significant liver disease in addition to hepatitis C, which may include but is not limited to malignancy with hepatic involvement, hepatitis B, drug or alcohol-related cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or primary biliary cirrhosis. Steatosis is allowed if clinically asymptomatic
