Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the potential antiviral efficacy of triple-combination therapy with Peginterferon α-2b + ribavirin + boceprevir (PRB) in patients with HCV genotype 3 who previously failed Peginterferon α + ribavirin (non-responders or relapsers).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) at 24 Weeks Post Treatment
Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) is evaluated 24 weeks after end of treatment and defined as undetectable plasma HCV-RNA at follow up week 24. HCV RNA is measured using Cobas TaqMan.Of the 6 subjects who completed the treatment, 3 obtained SVR at 24 weeks post treatment.
24 weeks after treatment
Study Arms (1)
Boceprevir
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
All patients will receive a 4-week lead-in with Peginterferon and Ribavirin therapy, followed by 24 weeks of Pegetron 1.5microg/kg + weight-based ribavirin + boceprevir 800mg tid. HCV RNA (Cobas TaqMan) will be measured at baseline and at treatment weeks 4, 6,8,12,16,20,24 and 28, and post-treatment weeks 12 and 24 (to obtain SVR-12 and SVR-24 results).
