  Purpose

Study P02538 Part 2 is a 5-year follow-up study in pediatric subjects who were treated with at least one dose of peginterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin and who completed the follow-up in the P02538 Part 1 study. No study drug therapy will be administered during the P02538 Part 2 study. Durability of virologic response will be assessed for subjects who attained SVR in Part I of this study by performing annual HCV-RNA testing In addition, this study will also characterize long-term safety in all subjects who received PegIntron plus Rebetol treatment.
