| Main Objective: To study the effects of dose and duration of the HCV polymerase inhibitor prodrug (RO5024048) in combination with PEG-IFN and RBV versus the currently approved combination of PEG-IFN and RBV (SOC) in treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 and 4 virus infection.;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of HCV polymerase inhibitor prodrug (RO5024048) in combination with PEG-IFN and RBV versus the currently approved combination of SOC - To determine virologic response at defined time points (Week 4, 12, 24, 48 and 60). - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of RO4995855 when RO5024048 is administered in combination with SOC - To evaluate the resistance profile of RO5024048 in combination with SOC - To evaluate safety and efficacy of open-label HCV polymerase inhibitor Prodrug (RO5024048) in combination with SOC in the subset of patients who only received currently approved combination of SOC (Group E) and who did not demonstrate an early virologic response (Treatment Failures) ;Primary end point(s): The primary measure of efficacy is SVR defined as the percentage of patients with undetectable HCV RNA as measured by the Roche COBAS TaqMan HCV Test (detection limit = 15 IU/mL) 24 weeks after end of treatment (SVR-24; a single last HCV RNA undetectable =20 weeks after last dose). Patients without HCV RNA measurements at the end of the 24-week treatment-free follow-up period will be considered non-responders. This definition of SVR will be “SVR according to actual treatment period”. Additional analyses will be performed using the definition of SVR defined as the percentage of patients with undetectable HCV RNA as measured by Roche COBAS TaqMan HCV test at or after week 44 (=study day 309) for treatment groups A, B and C with total treatment duration of 24 weeks or at or after week 68 (= study day 477) for treatment groups with total treatment duration of 48 weeks. This definition of SVR will be “SVR according to sc | — |
