Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Peginterferon Lambda-1a (Lambda) combined with Ribavirin (RBV) and Telaprevir (TVR) is effective in the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) compared to Peginterferon Alfa-2a (alfa-2a) combined with RBV and Telaprevir.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Extended Rapid Virologic Response (eRVR) - Part AAssessed at Week 4 and Week 12, week 12 reported

eRVR was defined as Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level below the lower limit of quantitation, target not detected at Weeks 4 and 12 of treatment. HCV RNA level was measured using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan HCV Test v.2.0 (lower limit of quantitation =25 IU/mL; limit of detection \~ 10 IU/mL).

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at Follow-up Week 12 (SVR12) - Part BFollow-up Week 12

SVR12 was defined as Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level below lower limit of quantitation, target detected or not detected at Week 12 of post-treatment follow-up. HCV RNA level was measured using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan HCV Test v.2.0 (lower limit of quantitation =25 IU/mL; limit of detection \~ 10 IU/mL).

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Drug Related AEs, Discontinuation Due to AEs, Dose Reductions and Death - Part ADay 1 of treatment up to Week 48

An AE was defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered an investigational (medicinal product. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or caused prolongation of existing hospitalization.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at Follow-up Week 12 (SVR12) - Part AFollow-up Week 12

SVR12 was defined as Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level below lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), target detected or not detected at Week 12 of post-treatment follow-up. HCV RNA level was measured using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan HCV Test v.2.0 (LLOQ =25 IU/mL; limit of detection \~ 10 IU/mL).

Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Cytopenic Abnormalities - Part BAfter Day 1 of treatment up to Week 48

Cytopenic abnormalities included anemia defined as hemoglobin \<10 grams/decilitre; neutropenia defined as Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \<750 cubic millimetre (mm\^3); thrombocytopenia defined as platelets \<50,000 mm\^3.

Percentage of Subjects With Sustained Virologic Response at Follow-Up Week 24 (SVR24) - Part AFollow up week 24

SVR24 was defined as Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level below lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), target detected or not detected at Week 24 of post-treatment follow-up. HCV RNA level was measured using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan HCV Test v.2.0 (LLOQ) =25 IU/mL; limit of detection \~ 10 IU/mL). The analysis was performed using Modified Intent-to-Treat method defined as the proportions of participants meeting the response criteria in numerator and denominator based on all treated participants. The analysis was performed in all treated participants.

Percentage of Treatment-Naïve Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at Follow-up Week 12 (SVR12) - Part BFollow-up Week 12

SVR12 was defined as Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level below lower limit of quantitation, target detected or not detected at Week 12 of post-treatment follow-up. HCV RNA level was measured using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan HCV Test v.2.0 (lower limit of quantitation =25 IU/mL; limit of detection \~ 10 IU/mL).

Percentage of Participants With Extended Rapid Virologic Response (eRVR) - Part BWeek 4 and Week 12

eRVR was defined as Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level below the lower limit of quantitation, target not detected at Weeks 4 and 12 of treatment. HCV RNA level was measured using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan HCV Test v.2.0 (lower limit of quantitation =25 IU/mL; limit of detection \~ 10 IU/mL).

Percentage of Participants With On-Treatment Flu-Like Symptoms And Musculoskeletal Symptoms- Part BAfter Day 1 of treatment up to Week 48

Flu-like symptoms included pyrexia, chills, and pain. Musculoskeletal symptoms included arthralgia, myalgia, and back pain.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at Follow- upWeek 24 (SVR24) - Part BFollow-up Week 24

SVR24 was defined as Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level below lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), target detected or not detected at Week 24 of post-treatment follow-up. HCV RNA level was measured using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan HCV Test v.2.0 (LLOQ) =25 IU/mL; limit of detection \~ 10 IU/mL).

Percentage of Participants With RashAfter Day 1 of treatment up to Week 48
