RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
This is an Australian, open-label, multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy of combination therapy with pegylated interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin for 48 weeks versus 24 weeks in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (treatment-naïve genotype 3 subjects with high viral loads who have a METAVIR score of at least F1A2). The primary endpoint will be a sustained virological response defined by undetectable HCV RNA in serum at 24 weeks after completion of therapy.
