Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Alisporivir
Treatment: Drugs - Peginterferon alfa-2a
Treatment: Drugs - Ribavirin
Treatment: Drugs - ALV Placebo

Experimental: Treatment Arm A - Alisporivir (ALV) 600 mg twice daily (BID) with Peginterferon alfa-2a (PEG) and ribavirin (RBV) for 1 week, followed by an additional 23 or 47 weeks according to response-guided treatment duration (RGT):

* Participants with a viral load below the level of detection (\< LOD) at Week 4 stop study treatment after 24 weeks
* Participants with a viral load = LOD at Week 4 complete 48 weeks of study treatment

Experimental: Treatment Arm B - Alisporivir (ALV) 400 mg twice daily (BID) with PEG and RBV for 24 or 48 weeks according to response-guided treatment duration (RGT)

Experimental: Treatment Arm C - Alisporivir (ALV) 600 mg BID with PEG and RBV for 1 week, followed by 600 mg once daily (QD) for 47 weeks

Active comparator: Treatment Arm D - ALV Placebo with PEG and RBV for 48 weeks


Treatment: Drugs: Alisporivir
ALV 200 mg soft gel capsules administered orally

Treatment: Drugs: Peginterferon alfa-2a
PEG 180 µg administered via subcutaneous (s.c.) injection once weekly

Treatment: Drugs: Ribavirin
RBV 200 mg tablets (weight-based dose: \< 75 mg = 1000 mg/day; = 75 kg = 1200 mg/day) administered orally in a divided daily dose
