Interferon alfa-2b +/- Ribavirin for Chronic HCVStudy Outline
• Study- Randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled, phase 3 trial- Conducted in 44 centers in United States
• Subjects- N = 912 with chronic hepatitis C - Treatment naïve; 72% genotype 1
• Regimens - Interferon alfa-2b + Placebo x 24 or 48 weeks - Interferon alfa-2b + Ribavirin (weight based) x 24 or 48 weeks
• Primary Endpoint- Undetectable serum HCV RNA 24 weeks after stopping treatment
