Title: A Phase 2 Study of VX-950 in Combination With Peginterferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys®), With and Without Ribavirin (Copegus®) in Subjects With Hepatitis C
Brief Summary: Compare the effectiveness of telaprevir (VX-950) in combination with Pegylated Interferon Alfa 2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) with and without Ribavirin (RBV) in reducing plasma hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels
