2ULN.\n\nPatients are randomized to one of the following arms:\n\n* S (standard) group: Pegasys\\&Copegus combined therapy 180 mcg/week \\& weight/based 1000-1200 mg/day for a total of 48 weeks of treatment\n* P (prolonged) group: Pegasys\\&Copegus combined therapy 180 mcg/week \\& -weight/based 1000-1200 mg/day for a total of 72 weeks of treatment.\n\nAfter completing treatment period patients
