The study was conducted at eleven sites in the United States and included 78 African American patients and 28 Caucasian patients. All patients were interferon-naive with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 and elevated ALT levels. Patients received 180 mcg subcutaneously of Pegasys, once weekly, along with either 1000 or 1200 mg/day of Copegus, depending on their weight, for 48 weeks, with 24 weeks of treatment-free follow-up. Early virological response (EVR) was assessed at 12 weeks of therapy and SVR at week 72.
