NCT ID NCT01010646

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a new form of interferon (IFN alfa-2b XL) combined with ribavirin works better and causes fewer side effects than the standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C (genotypes 1 or 4). 84 adults who had not been treated before or had not responded to previous therapy took part. The main goal was to measure how much the virus level dropped after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment.
