Summary
Brief summary
The study is to investigate whether participants with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 who have a history of non-response/relapse to peginterferon alfa-2a (PEG) and ribavirin (RBV) may benefit from treatment with triple therapy alisporivir (ALV; DEB025) with PEG and RBV versus placebo with PEG and RBV.
