4 Manns M, et al. Presented at the 44 th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), April 26, 2009, Copenhagen, Denmark.04/28/09 4 Background   What is the optimum dose of PEG-IFN alfa-2b?   Reduced PEG-IFN dose? 1,2   What is the optimum treatment duration?   24 weeks for all patients?   Reduced treatment duration for selected patients (<24 weeks 2-6 )?   Are separate treatment regimens required for G2 and G3 patients?   Higher SVR with G2, higher relapse with G3   Do global/ethnic aspects influence treatment outcomes?   Asian vs white?   Prolonged infection leads to high rates of cirrhosis among Asian patients 7   What is the efficacy of standard antiviral treatment in a “real-life” setting 1.

6 Manns M, et al. Presented at the 44 th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), April 26, 2009, Copenhagen, Denmark.04/28/09 6 Methods   Treatment Arms   A: PEG-IFN alfa-2b (1.5 µg/kg/wk) + RBV (800-1200 mg/d) for 24 weeks   B: PEG-IFN alfa-2b (1.0 µg/kg/wk) + RBV (800-1200 mg/d) for 24 weeks   C: PEG-IFN alfa-2b (1.5 µg/kg/wk) + RBV (800-1200 mg/d) for 16 weeks   Co-primary End Points   Compare standard regimen of PEG-IFN alfa-2b (1.5 µg/kg/wk) + RBV with a lower dose PEG-IFN alfa-2b (1.0 µg/kg/wk) + RBV regimen (A vs B)   Compare 24-week vs 16-week regimen of PEG-IFN alfa-2b (1.5 µg/kg/wk) + RBV (A vs C)   Noninferiority criteria (p<0.025 required)   Period of Enrollment   HepNet cohort: July 2003 to March 2006   International cohort: January 2005 to March 2007   No Interim Analysis per Protocol   First presentation of results from REDD 2/3
