Summary

This study tested a new drug called MP-424 combined with two standard hepatitis C medicines (peginterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin) in 189 adults with genotype 1 hepatitis C who had never been treated before. The main goal was to see if the virus was still undetectable 24 weeks after treatment ended, known as a sustained viral response. The study is complete and provides information on how well this triple therapy works for this specific group.
