Detailed Summary
This is a randomized, open-label, multinational study designed to evaluate the "standard" regimen, PegIntron 1.5 µg/kg subcutaneously once weekly plus ribavirin 800-1200 mg daily \[Arm PEG2b 1.5/R (24 weeks)\], compared to a lower dose regimen, PegIntron 1.0 µg/kg subcutaneously once weekly plus ribavirin 800-1200 mg daily \[Arm PEG2b 1.0/R (24 weeks)\], using a 24 week treatment duration for both arms. Additionally, the study examined the efficacy of reduced treatment duration: PegIntron 1.5 µg/kg subcutaneously once weekly plus ribavirin 800-1200 mg for 16 weeks \[Arm PEG2b 1.5/R (16 weeks)\] .
