Study Summary

This study is designed to test the hypothesis that African-Americans respond less well to combination pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy than Caucasian-Americans who have chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 and who were not previously treated with either interferon or ribavirin. Reasons for differences in response, regardless of race, will be studied.

Primary Outcome

The primary end point of therapy was an SVR that was definied as the absences of detectable HCV RNA in serum 24 weeks after therapy was stopped.
