Title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of TMC435 Versus Placebo as Part of a Treatment Regimen Including Peginterferon α-2a (Pegasys®) and Ribavirin (Copegus®) or Peginterferon α-2b (PegIntron®) and Ribavirin (Rebetol®) in Treatment-naïve, Genotype 1, Hepatitis C-infected Subjects
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of TMC435 compared with placebo in participants who are infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus who have never received treatment before. Participants will also receive peginterferon alfa-2a or peginterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin as part of their treatment.
