Summary

This study tested a new drug called MP-424 combined with two standard medicines (peginterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin) in 32 adults with genotype 1 hepatitis C who had not responded to earlier treatment. The main goal was to see if the virus could be cleared from the blood 24 weeks after treatment ended. The trial has been completed, and results may help improve options for people with this difficult-to-treat form of hepatitis C.
