This is an open-label (all persons know the study drug assignment), multicenter study in treatment-naïve (participant did not receive any previous treatment for the treatment of hepatitis C) and treatment-experienced (participant did receive previous treatment for hepatitis C) Russian participants with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C. After a screening period of approximately 4 weeks, participants will be treated for 12 weeks with telaprevir 750 mg every 8 hours in combination with Peg-IFN-alfa-2a and RBV followed by 12 or 36 weeks of treatment with Peg-IFN-alfa-2a and RBV alone depending on their liver disease status, response to previous treatment and individual virologic response during treatment in this study.
