A Randomized, Open-label Study of the Effect of PEGASYS ® Plus COPEGUS® With or Without Concomitant Pioglitazone (Actos®) on Early Viral Kinetics in Treatment-naive Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C, Genotype-1, and Insulin Resistance

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Change From Initiation of Pegasys Plus Copegus in log10 Hepatitis C Virus Ribonucleic Acid (HCV RNA) Viral Load to Week 12 of Anti-HCV Therapy

Outcome Description:

Serum samples were collected for HCV RNA. The change from initiation of Pegasys plus Copegus to Week 12 in HCV RNA titers were calculated. Randomization for the with Pioglitazone arm occurred prior to the 16 week run-in period and randomization for the without Pioglitazone arm occurred prior to the start of anti-HCV treatment.

Outcome Time Frame:

Initiation of Pegasys plus Copegus, Week 12 of anti-HCV treatment
