Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Infection with any HCV genotype other than genotype 1 or an indeterminate or mixed genotype. Genotype 1 pts w indeterminate or mixed subtypes will be allowed 2.

In add, pts w a concurrent psychiatric condition or history of a psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Inv and/or Psychiatrist, would compromise participation in this study 15.

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effect on virologicalresponse of a 12 weeks duration of RO5190591 incombination with Pegasys and Copegus compared to thecombination of Pegasys and Copegus alone in treatment-naïvepatients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 virus infection;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of RO5190591 in combination with Pegasys and Copegus To evaluate the viral resistance profile of RO5190591 in combination with Pegasys and Copegus;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”.
