An Observational Study of Pegasys in Dual- or Triple-Therapy in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C
Completed
- Conditions
- Hepatitis C, Chronic
- Registration Number
- NCT01679834
- Lead Sponsor
- Hoffmann-La Roche
- Brief Summary
This multicenter, observational study will assess the efficacy and the safety of Pegasys (peginterferon alfa 2a) in dual- or triple therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Patients will receive Pegasys and/or ribavirin and/or a protease inhibitor according to local guidelines. Data will be collected for 96 weeks.
