A Study of Ritonavir-Boosted Danoprevir in Combination With Pegasys (Peginterferon Alfa-2a) and Copegus (Ribavirin) in Patients of Asian Origin With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 With or Without Cirrhosis

STUDY TO EVALUATE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY, PHARMACOKINETICS, AND ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY OF RITONAVIR-BOOSTED DANOPREVIR IN COMBINATION WITH PEGINTERFERON ALFA-2A PLUS RIBAVIRIN IN TREATMENT-NAÏVE PATIENTS OF ASIAN ORIGIN WHO HAVE CHRONIC HEPATITIS C GENOTYPE 1 WITH OR WITHOUT COMPENSATED CIRRHOSIS

This Phase II, open-label, parallel-arm study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of ritonavir-boosted danoprevir in combination with Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) and Copegus (ribavirin) in treatment-naïve patients of Asian origin with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. Patients will receive danoprevir 125 mg plus ritonavir 100 mg as fixed dose tablet orally twice daily in combination with weekly Pegasys 180 mcg subcutaneously and Copegus 1000-1200 mg orally daily in divided doses.
