Arm/Group Description Patients received Faldaprevir (BI201335) 120 mg soft gelatine capsule once daily combined with PegIFN/RBV (Pegylated interferon alpha-2a solution for injection/Ribavirin tablet) for 12 weeks, with a 3 days lead-in phase of PegIFN/RBV (i.e. initiation of Faldaprevir (BI201335) 3 days after first administration of PegIFN/RBV), followed by PegIFN/RBV for additional 12 weeks. Patients who did not show an extended early virological response (eRVR) continued treatment with PegIFN/RBV alone for a total of 24 to 48 weeks.

Adverse Event Reporting Description One patient, randomised to the 12 week treatment, received PegIFN/RBV during the lead-in phase but never started treatment with Faldaprevir and therefore is not included in the adverse event summary.
