Brief Summary: HRN-003 STUDY SYNOPSIS

OBJECTIVE To compare the Sustained Virologic Response SVR of PEGIntron plus ribavirin among patients receiving a fixed dose of PEGIntron versus weighted-adjusted dosing

OVERVIEW OF STUDY DESIGN This is a multi-center randomized open-label clinical trial using PEGIntron weight-adjusted dose by subcutaneous injection weekly ribavirin by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks OR PEGIntron fixed dose by subcutaneous injection weekly ribavirin by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks

STUDY POPULATION 600 Adult patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection who have previously failed to achieve a sustained virologic response following interferon alfa or interferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin therapy

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Eligible participants will be randomized to receive PEGIntron weight-adjusted dose 15 mgkg by subcutaneous injection weekly ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks OR PEGIntron fixed dose 150 mg if weight than 80 kg or 100 mg if weight 80 KG by subcutaneous injection weekly ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks

EFFICACY EVALUATIONS Laboratory analysis quality of life assessments and change in study medication doses will be obtained

SAFETY EVALUATIONS Assessment of laboratory evaluations vital signs incidence and severity of adverse experiences and progression of disease as measured by HCV viral load

STUDY DESIGN

This is a treatment protocol to evaluate the antiviral efficacy safety and tolerability polyethylene glycol PEG conjugated interferon alfa-2b PEGIntron for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in patients who have previously failed to achieve a sustained virologic response following interferon alfa or interferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin therapy Patients will be stratified according to their response to the previous course of therapy ie non-reponse or relapse virologic pattern

This is a multi-center randomized open-label clinical trial that will involve approximately 25 sites with an anticipated enrollment of 600 patients over a six-month period

Eligible participants will be randomized to receive PEGIntron weight-adjusted dose 15 mgkg by subcutaneous injection weekly ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks OR PEGIntron fixed dose 150 mg if weight than 80 kg or 100 mg if weight 80 KG by subcutaneous injection weekly ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks

Group A PEGIntron weight -adjusted dose 15 mgkg by subcutaneous injection weekly ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks Total therapy x 48weeks
Group B PEGIntron fixed dose 150 mg if weight than 80 kg or 100 mg if weight 80 KG by subcutaneous injection weekly ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for an additional 48 weeks Total therapy x 48 weeks
