 Peginterferon alfa
The sustained response rates in terms of alanine aminotransferase were higher (54%) among the group assigned the higher dose of peginterferon than in those assigned the lower dose of peginterferon (48%) or interferon alfa-2b (47%).
The SVR rate was higher in all groups when the dose of ribavirin was greater than 10·6 mg/kg bodyweight, which is the lower end of the optimum dose range.
The rate of several influenza-like symptoms was higher in the higher-dose peginterferon group than in the interferon alfa-2b group, probably because a higher dose of interferon alfa-2b is administered via the peginterferon formulation.
