Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of alb-IFN in combination with ribavirin compared with PEG-IFNa2a in combination with ribavirin in IFNa treatment-naïve subjects with chronic hepatitis C genotype 2/3. Participants: The target population to be enrolled in this trial is IFNa treatment-naïve subjects with chronic HCV genotype 2 or 3. 918 male and female patients age 18 or greater will take part in the study at 160 institutions. Procedures (methods): This is a Phase 3, randomized, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of alb-IFN in combination with ribavirin compared with peginterferon a2a in combination with ribavirin in subjects with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 2/3 who are IFNa treatment-naïve. This study will randomize subjects in a 1:1:1 equal allocation to 1 of 3 treatment groups.
