Background Peginterferon plus ribavirin achieves sustained virological response (SVR) in fewer than half of patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus infection treated for 48 weeks. We tested the efficacy of boceprevir, an NS3 hepatitis C virus oral protease inhibitor, when added to peginterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin.Methods In part 1 of this trial, undertaken in 67 sites in the USA, Qmada, and Europe, 520 treatment-naive patients with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus infection were randomly assigned to receive peginterferon alfa-2b 1.5 mu g/kg plus ribavirin 800-1400 mg daily for 48 weeks (PR48; n=104); pegmterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin daily for 4 weeks, followed by peginterferon alfa-2b, ribavirin, and boceprevir 800 mg three times a day for 24 weeks (PR4/PR824; 11=103) or 44 weeks (PR4/PRB44; n=103), or peginterferon alfa-2b, ribavirin, and boceprevir three times a day for 28 weeks (PRB28; n=107) or 43 weeks (PRB48; n=103). In part 2,75 patients were randomly assigned to receive either PRB48 (n=16) or low-dose ribavirin (400-1000 mg) plus peginterferon alfa-2b and boceprevir three times a day for 48 weeks (low-dose PRB48; n=59) Randomisation was by computer-generated code, and study personnel and patients were not masked to group assignment. The primary endpoint was SVR 24 weeks after treatment. Analysis was by intention to treat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00423670.Findings Patients in all four boceprevir groups had higher rates of SVR than did the control group (58/107 [54%, 95% CI 44-64], p=0.013 for PRB28; 58/103 [56%, 44-66], p=0.005 for PR4/PR824; 69/103 [67%, 57-761, p
