A Multiple Dose Study of MK-5172 in Hepatitis C-Infected Participants (MK-5172-010 AM1)
A Multiple Dose Study to Evaluate Pharmacokinetics and Hepatitis C Virus RNA Dynamics Following Administration of MK-5172 in Hepatitis C Infected Patients

This study will compare hepatic pharmacokinetics (PK) derived from liver tissue to plasma PK after administration of MK-5172 to participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Participants will be randomized to one of five different liver core needle biopsy schedules (at 4-, 8-, 12-, 24-, or 72-hours after the Day 7 dose).
