Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Of 232 participants enrolled, only 229 patients were included in the Safety Analysis Set and had documented baseline data. Three participants were excluded due to violation of inclusion criteria, violation of exclusion criteria and no application of peginterferon alfa-2b (PEG-IFN alfa-2b).

Reporting Groups
  Description
PEG-IFN Alfa-2b + RBV Participants received a combination of PEG-IFN alfa-2b plus ribavirin (RBV) according to routine clinical practice and locally-approved product recommendations for a minimum of 12 weeks. No investigational medicinal product was provided by the sponsor.
