  Purpose

This observational study will evaluate predictors of early on-treatment response and sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C receiving Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) and ribavirin. Data will be collected from patients on treatment (24 or 48 weeks) and 24 weeks after the end of treatment.

Further study details as provided by Hoffmann-La Roche:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Correlation of sustained virological response (SVR: undetectable HCV RNA 24 weeks after end of treatment) with rapid and early virological response [ Time Frame: approximately 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Correlation of baseline host factors and virological response (HCV RNA levels) [ Time Frame: approximately 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Correlation of cumulative Pegasys/ribavirin dose and sustained virological response (SVR) [ Time Frame: approximately 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Relapse rate 24 weeks post-treatment [ Time Frame: approximately 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 500
Study Start Date: May 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: March 2015
Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
