ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Human Genome Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: HGSI) today announced the final results of a Phase 2b clinical trial of the investigational drug, Albuferon(R) (albinterferon alfa-2b), in combination with ribavirin in treatment-naive patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C. This Phase 2b study demonstrated that, with half as many injections as Pegasys (peginterferon alfa 2a), Albuferon was just as effective in achieving sustained virologic response (SVR) - an undetectable amount of virus in the blood at 24 weeks following the end of treatment - with comparable safety and less impairment of health-related quality of life on treatment. Albuferon is administered every two weeks, while peginterferon alfa-2a requires administration every week.
