Reporting Groups

	Description
Relapser:Placebo	Patients who had had a prior relapse, received 2 soft gelatin capsules identical to those containing Faldaprevir once daily (orally) and PegIFN/RBV (Pegylated interferon alpha-2a/Ribavirin) administered by injection, for 24 weeks, followed by PegIFN/RBV for 24 weeks.
Relapser:Faldaprevir 12 Weeks	Patients who had had a prior relapse, received Faldaprevir (BI 201335) 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 12 weeks, followed by placebo once daily combined with PegIFN/RBV for 12 weeks. At week 24, if the patients did not achieve early treatment success (ETS) the patients received an additional 24 weeks of PegIFN/RBV alone.
Relapser:Faldaprevir 24 Weeks	Patients who had had a prior relapse, received Faldaprevir 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 24 weeks. At week 24, if the patients did not achieve early treatment success (ETS) the patients received an additional 24 weeks of PegIFN/RBV alone.
Partial:Placebo	Patients who had had a prior partial response, received 2 soft gelatin capsules identical to those containing Faldaprevir once daily (orally) and PegIFN/RBV (Pegylated interferon alpha-2a/Ribavirin) administered by injection, for 24 weeks, followed by PegIFN/RBV for 24 weeks.
Partial:Faldaprevir 12 Weeks	Patients who had had a prior partial response, received Faldaprevir 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 12 weeks, followed by placebo once daily combined with PegIFN/RBV for 12 weeks. Followed by PegIFN/RBV alone for 24 weeks.
Partial:Faldaprevir 24 Weeks	Patients who had had a prior partial response, received Faldaprevir 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 24 weeks. Followed by PegIFN/RBV alone for 24 weeks.
Null:Faldaprevir 12 Weeks	Patients who had had a prior null response received Faldaprevir 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 12 weeks, followed by placebo once daily combined with PegIFN/RBV for 12 weeks. Followed by PegIFN/RBV alone for 24 weeks.
Null:Faldaprevir 24 Weeks	Patients who had had a prior null response received Faldaprevir 240mg once daily, in the form of 2 soft gelatin capsules administered orally, combined with PegIFN/RBV, administered by injection, for 24 weeks. Followed by PegIFN/RBV alone for 24 weeks.
