Summary

This 2 part study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12 and 24 weeks treatment with RO5190591 (danoprevir) in combination with Pegasys and Copegus, compared to Pegasys and Copegus alone, in treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 virus infection.In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomized to receive either 1) RO5190591 300mg po every 8 hours, 2) RO5190591 600mg po every 12 hours, 3) RO5190591 900mg po every 12 hours or 4) placebo, in combination with standard doses of Pegasys and Copegus.
