Official title
The Individualized Management With Pegasys and Ribavirin Offering Viral Eradication (IMPROVE) Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will compare the efficacy and safety of treatment with pegylated-interferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin in participants with non-genotype 2/3 CHC who, after 12 weeks of study treatment, have undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV)-ribonucleic acid (RNA) or a greater than or equal to (\>=) 2 log10 drop in HCV-RNA. Participants will be randomized to receive pegylated-interferon alfa-2a 180 micrograms subcutaneously weekly plus ribavirin (1000-1400 milligram \[mg\]) orally daily for the specified duration, followed by 24 weeks of treatment-free follow-up. Participants with detectable HCV-RNA and less than (\<) 2 log10 drop in HCV-RNA at week 12 will discontinue therapy.
