Roche Holding, Europe's fifth-largest drug maker, said today that it had bought the rights to use an ICN Pharmaceuticals compound, levovirin, to help treat hepatitis C, which infects 170 million people worldwide. Roche, a Swiss company, did not say what it paid for the rights to levovirin. Roche will combine the therapy with its Pegasys drug. Roche said preclinical studies show that the combination may be better than Pegasys and ribavirin, the most successful treatment for hepatitis C.

Roche will pay a one-time licensing fee, milestone payments and, if the drug gets regulatory approval, royalties to ICN, based in Costa Mesa, Calif.
