Description Module

Brief Summary

This Phase 3 clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of two dose levels of Infergen (interferon alfacon-1, CIFN) plus Ribavirin administered daily for 48 weeks and no treatment in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C who are nonresponders to previous pegylated interferon alfa plus ribavirin therapy and participated during at least 24 weeks of no treatment in IRHC-001.

At the time of randomization into IRHC-001, the no treatment arm patients will be concurrently randomized in a 1:1 ration to receive Interferon Alfacon-1 (9 or 15 µg) + Ribavirin (both administered daily) or no treatment for up to 48 weeks. Patients will not be eligible for consideration to receive treatment in IRHC-002 until they have completed a minimum of 24 weeks of participation in IRHC-001.

The protocol and informed consent form that will be used must be approved by the Investigator's Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) before the study is initiated.

Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Evaluate sustained virologic response (SVR) rate of daily Infergen at two dose levels plus ribavirin and no treatment in chronically HCV-infected patients who are nonresponders to previous pegylated interferon alfa plus ribavirin therapy.		72 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Evaluate safety & tolerability of therapy detailed in primary objective, and proportion of patients with (a) undetectable plasma HCV RNA levels at weeks 24 & 48 (b) abnormal baseline serum ALT levels that are normal at week 24, week 48 and weeks 48 & 72.		72 weeks
