  Purpose

This randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the sustained virologic response and the safety of mericitabine (RO5024048) in combination with boceprevir and Pegasys/Copegus in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 48 weeks.
