| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of boceprevir (PO) in combination with peginterferon alfa-2b (PEG2b) (SC) plus ribavirin weight-based dosing (WBD) PO to therapy with PEG2b plus ribavirin alone in adult subjects coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and previously untreated chronic hepatitis C virius (HCV) genotype 1.;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the safety of boceprevir when used in combination with PEG2b/R - To define predictors of SVR such as epidemiologic factors, disease characteristics and on-treatment response - To assess the steady state pharmacokinetics of boceprevir using population-based pharmacokinetic modeling "Key Secondary Trial Objective: The key secondary objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy of boceprevir when used in combination with PEG2b + R (WBD) to the standard of care (PEG2b + R) alone in randomized subjects who received at least one dose of experimental trial medication (Placebo for the control arm and boceprevir for the experimental arm).";Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint for the trial is: the achievement of SVR, defined as undetectable plasma HCV-RNA at follow-up week (FW) 24. If a subject is missing FW 24 data and has undetectable HCV-RNA at FW 12, the subject will be considered a sustained virologic responder. Subjects will be declared treatment failures in one of the following ways: - Subjects in any treatment arm who have detectable HCV-RNA at FW 24 - Subjects in any treatment arm with a <2 log10 decline in HCV-RNA at TW 12 - Subjects in any treatment arm with =LLQ HCV-RNA at TW 24 - Subjects in any treatment arm who are missing their HCV-RNA at or after FW 24 and have detectable or missing HCV-RNA at FW 12 | — |
