Assessment

Primary outcomes

Rate of nagative HCV RNA at 24 weeks after the initiation of treatment (The SVR rate)

Key secondary outcomes

1) Rate of negative HCV RNA (at 4 weeks, 12 weeks of combination therapy and end of the initiation therapy)
2) Change in hemoglobin
3) Dose of drug (peginterferon dose, ribavirin dose)
4) Change in insulin resistance
5) Occurrence of side effect

Interventions/Control_1

Patients were treated by combination therapy of peg-interferon alpha 2b and ribavirin with or without BCAA.
[group 1]therapy with 2 pack of the BCAA enriched supplement (aminofeel, TERUMO)
[group 2]therapy without BCAA enriched supplement

Interventions/Control_2

Patients were treated by combination therapy of peg-interferon alpha 2b and ribavirin for 48-72 week in HCV-serotype 1, serum HCV RNA level of over 5.0 log IU/ml, for 24 week in HCV-serotype 1, serum HCV RNA level of under 5.0 log IU/ml and serotype 2.
