Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if 24 weeks of treatment with Pegylated Interferon Lambda plus Ribavirin and 12 weeks of treatment with Pegylated Interferon Lambda plus Ribavirin and Daclatasvir will be safe and effective for treatment of hepatitis C compared to 24 weeks of treatment with Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a plus Ribavirin
