No peer-reviewed publication reporting this trial's results has been linked yet. This can indicate results are unpublished — a known publication-bias signal. We re-check periodically.
Summary
This randomized, multi-center, Phase IV, comparative study will assess the efficacy and safety of combined peg-interferon alpha-2a (Peg-IFN-Alpha-2A) and ribavirin therapy for 48 or 72 weeks of treatment and 24 weeks of follow-up in participants with Genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C (CHC), co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Serological evidence of chronic hepatitis C infection by anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) test
- Detectable HCV-ribonucleic acid (RNA) plasma level testing by Roche AMPLICOR HCV (<50 International Units per milliliter [IU/mL]) (qualitative test)
- Chronic liver disease consistent with infection of CHC
- Compensated liver disease (Child-Pugh Grade A)
- Serological evidence of infection by HIV-1 test, anti-HIV-1 or HIV-1 RNA detection
- Negative pregnancy urine or blood test (for women in childbearing age); additionally, all men and women of childbearing potential must agree to use two effective forms of contraception during the treatment and during the 6 months after the end of treatment
Exclusion Criteria
- Pregnant or nursing women and male partners of pregnant women
- Prior therapy with interferon (IFN) or ribavirin and any investigational medication less than or equal to (</=) 6 weeks before the first dose of the study drug
- History or other evidence of a medical condition associated with chronic liver disease further than HCV
- Active opportunistic infection associated with HIV and / or cancer requiring systemic therapy
- History of any other significant illness which in the investigator's opinion, could result in the participant's inability to meet the Protocol requirements
