Chronically-infected HCV Genotype 2 and 3 Treatment-naive Subjects: Part A: Safety and Efficacy of INX-08189 With Peg IFN Alfa-2a and Ribavirin. Part B: INX-08189 in Interferon Free Treatment With Daclatasvir and/or Ribavirin

• Diagnosed with chronic HCV at least 6 months prior to Visit 1 with medical documentation (e.g., prior PCR result, prior liver biopsy, prior genotyping, etc.), with a positive HCV viral load of at least 50,000 IU/mL at Visit 1 (screening) as measured by quantitative PCR
• Chronic genotype 2 or 3 HCV infection (per polymerase chain reaction [PCR] methodology)
• HCV treatment-naïve where "treatment-naïve" is defined as no prior treatment with IFN alfa 2a or 2b, Pegylated IFN alfa-2a, Ribavirin, or any HCV direct-acting anti-viral drugs
• Liver biopsy consistent with chronic HCV infection but with a classification of non-cirrhotic (and without classification of 'transition to cirrhosis or borderline cirrhosis') as judged by a pathologist (defined as Knodell ≤ 3, Metavir ≤ 2, Ishak ≤ 4, or Batts &Ludwig ≤ 2 ) within the last two years and before Visit 2 (biopsy can be done after Visit 1 and before Visit 2, within the screening period)
• Negative urine drug screen for drugs of abuse and methadone (via central lab-provided dipstick at site) at screening (Visit 1) (note: subjects with a valid prescription for a drug which can be abused [e.g., benzodiazepine, opiates] can be enrolled on the judgment of the investigator)
• Females will have a negative serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (βHCG) pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine dipstick pregnancy test on Study Day 0 (visit 2)
• Agreement by both female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects (who have not been surgically sterilized) to practice an acceptable method of birth control, which includes at least one barrier during the study and for at least 6 months after the cessation of treatment. Surgical sterilization of either the female or the male partner must have occurred at least 6 months prior to the first dose and females must be post-menopausal for 2 years to be considered of non-child-bearing potential. Acceptable contraceptive methods include one of the following: Oral and implantable hormonal contraceptives by the female partner for at least 3 months prior to the first dose of Study Drug with additional use of a barrier method, IUD in place for at least 6 months prior to first dose with additional use of barrier method. Acceptable barrier methods include either diaphragm with spermicide, and condom with spermicide. (Note: Abstinence is not an acceptable method of birth control, subjects who indicate sexual inactivity must agree to utilize an acceptable method of birth control in the event of sexual activity)
• Willing and able to complete all study visits and procedures, and able to effectively communicate with the investigator and other testing center personnel
• Signed informed consent form (ICF) executed prior to protocol screening assessments

Exclusion Criteria:

• Signs or symptoms of decompensated liver disease such as variceal bleeding, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, active jaundice defined by an indirect bilirubin > 2, Alanine transaminase (ALT) or Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) laboratory values ≥ 10 times the upper limit of normal, or other evidence of decompensated liver disease, or hepatocellular carcinoma
• Chronic liver disease other than HCV not limited to Hepatitis B virus (HBV) [positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)], hemochromatosis, auto-immune hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
• History of liver transplantation
• Co-infection with Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) [positive test for anti-HIV Ab] or use of didanosine
• History of a heart attack, cardiac ischemia, heart disease, clinically symptomatic cardiac abnormalities, or blood clots, based on medical history or apparent on physical exam
• QTcF interval at Visit 1 of greater than or equal to 450 ms by Fridericia's correction, or a personal or family history of Torsades de Pointe
• History or presence of sarcoidosis or pancreatitis
• History or presence of severe pulmonary function impairment including severe (> GOLD stage III) chronic obstructive pulmonary obstructive disease, and moderate to severe asthma
• Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus as evidenced by HbA1C ≥ 8.5% at screening (Visit 1)
• Use of the following medications concurrently or within the 30 days prior to Screening (Visit 1) associated with QT prolongation: macrolides, antiarrhythmic agents, azoles, fluoroquinolones, and tricyclic anti-depressants (specifically excluded medication will be listed in protocol Section 6.8)
• Use of immunosuppressive or immune-modulating agents (including azathioprine, corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents) or presence of an immunologically-mediated autoimmune disease (other than asthma) or history of solid organ or bone marrow transplantation (note: inhaled steroids for mild/moderate asthma and topical steroid for minor skin conditions allowed and washout period for per Oral (PO)/Intramuscular (IM)/ Intravenous (IV) corticosteroid use is 8 weeks; washout periods for other immunosuppressives determined by Medical Monitor)
• Use of strong CYP3A4-inhibiting protease inhibitors (specifically Atazanavir, Indinavir, Nelfinavir, Saquinavir, and Ritonavir), strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (specifically Clarithromycin, Itraconazole, Ketoconazole, Nefazodone, Telithromycin), or strong CYP3A4 inducers (specifically Rifampin, Efavirenz, Etravirine, Phenobarbital, Phenytoin, and Carbamazepine)

• A history or presence of abnormal thyroid function that is not adequately controlled [defined as Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels less than 0.8 x lower limit of normal (LLN) or greater than 1.2 x the upper limit of normal (ULN)]
• Creatinine clearance < 50 mL/minute, serum creatinine concentration ≥ 1.5 times the ULN, or albumin ≤ 3 g/dl
• Presence or history of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis, or unstable psychiatric condition, or hospitalization for psychiatric condition, or suicide attempt. (Note: Subjects with psychiatric conditions need to be adequately treated and on stable doses of appropriate medications for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1.
