| Main Objective: To verify whether the addition of Boceprevir 800 mg TID to standard antiviral therapy with PEG IFN alfa 2b (1.5 µg/kg QW) plus Ribavirin (800-1400 mg/day) will determine at least a 25% improvement in SVR in the cohort of difficult-to-treat post-menopausal women with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 (either previous nonresponders to Peginterferon/Ribavirin (RBV) treatment or treatment naïves).;Secondary Objective: na;Primary end point(s): To verify whether the addition of Boceprevir 800 mg TID to standard antiviral therapy with PEG IFN alfa 2b (1.5 µg/kg QW) plus Ribavirin (800-1400 mg/day) will determine at least a 25% improvement in SVR in the cohort of difficult-to-treat post-menopausal women with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 (either previous nonresponders to Peginterferon/Ribavirin (RBV) treatment or treatment naïves).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 72 week | — |
