- Subjects randomized in the control arm (Group A) of Study VX06-950-106 are eligible to participate. In addition, these subjects must have discontinued treatment in that study because of the following criteria:
•Week 4 Nonresponder, defined as not having a > or = 1-log10 decrease from baseline in HCV RNA.
•Viral breakthrough between Week 4 and Week 24. Subjects discontinued study treatment if, on 2 consecutive occasions, the results of HCV RNA testing indicated viral breakthrough. Viral breakthrough is defined as (1) an increase in HCV RNA of >1 log10 compared to the lowest recorded on-treatment value or (2) an HCV RNA level of >100 IU/mL in a subject who had undetectable HCV RNA at a prior time point.
•Week 12 (EVR) Nonresponder, defined as not having achieved an early viral response (EVR, a =2 log10 reduction from baseline in HCV RNA).
•Week 24 Nonresponder, defined as subjects who had detectable HCV RNA at Week 24.
•Week 26 to Week 48 Nonresponder; defined as subjects who had detectable HCV RNA between Weeks 26 and 48.
•Subjects who had detectable HCV RNA during the 24-week post-treatment period.
- Subjects must agree to use 2 methods of contraception, including 1 barrier method, during and for 24 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at all visits prior to the first dose.
- Subjects must be willing to refrain from the concomitant use of any medications, substances or foods noted in Section 18 of the protocol.
- Subjects must be able to read and understand the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and willing to sign the ICF and abide by the study restrictions.
- Subjects must agree not to participate in other clinical studies for the duration of their participation in this trial.

Name Time Method Main Objective: To provide access to a telaprevir-based treatment to subjects of the Control Group (Group A) of Study VX06-950-106 who stopped treatment due to inadequate response to treatment (according to treatment stopping rules). Safety, tolerability, and HCV RNA levels will be collected.<br><br>Study VX06-950-106 is being submitted under a separate CTA (EudraCT # 2006-004665-33);Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): Primary Endpoint:<br>- Plasma HCV RNA response to telaprevir treatment <br><br>Secondary endpoints:<br>- Adverse events and clinical laboratory assessments, including ALT and other liver function tests. <br>- Genotypic and phenotypic analyses of the NS3•4A HCV region. <br>- Pharmacokinetic assessments of telaprevir, Peg-IFN-a-2a, and RBV
