Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
One participant in the pegylated interferon alfa-2b (PegIFN-2b) + ribavirin (RBV) + boceprevir group withdrew from the study after randomization but prior to administration of any study treatment.

Reporting Groups
  Description
PegIFN-2b + RBV PegIFN-2b (1.5 µg/kg/week subcutaneously) plus RBV (600-1400 mg/day, orally, divided into two daily doses) for 4 weeks followed by placebo to boceprevir plus PegIFN-2b/RBV for 44 weeks with 24 weeks post-treatment follow-up (Control Arm). Participants who do not achieve HCV-RNA <9.3 IU/mL by Treatment Week 24 (TW24) are eligible to cross-over and receive boceprevir along with the PegIFN-2b and RBV for up to 44 weeks.
PegIFN-2b + RBV + Boceprevir PegIFN-2b (1.5 µg/kg/week subcutaneously) plus RBV (600- 1400 mg/day, orally, divided into two daily doses) for 4 weeks followed by boceprevir (800 mg, orally, 3 times per day) plus PegIFN-2b/RBV for 44 weeks with 24 weeks post-treatment follow-up.
