Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Cmax (Maximum Observed Concentration in Plasma) of MP-424 [ Time Frame: Data were collected at Day1 to Day85 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Data were collected before the first dose in the morning, and at 1, 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 h after the first dose on days 1, 14 and 85.

    Data as pre-dose were collected at Day3, Day8, Day29, Day43 and Day57.


  • Tmax (Time of Maximum Concentration in Plasma) of MP-424 [ Time Frame: Data were collected at Day1 to Day85 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Data were collected before the first dose in the morning, and at 1, 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 h after the first dose on days 1, 14 and 85.

    Data as pre-dose were collected at Day3, Day8, Day29, Day43 and Day57.


  • AUC 0-8h (Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to 8 Hours) of MP-424 [ Time Frame: Data were collected at Day1 to Day85 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Data were collected before the first dose in the morning, and at 1, 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 h after the first dose on days 1, 14 and 85.

    Data as pre-dose were collected at Day3, Day8, Day29, Day43 and Day57.


  • Ctrough (Minimum Observed Concentration in Plasma) of MP-424 [ Time Frame: Data were collected at Day1 to Day85 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Data were collected before the first dose in the morning, and at 1, 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 h after the first dose on days 1, 14 and 85.

    Data as pre-dose were collected at Day3, Day8, Day29, Day43 and Day57.


  • T1/2(Time of Half-Life) of MP-424 [ Time Frame: Data were collected at Day1 to Day85 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Data were collected before the first dose in the morning, and at 1, 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 h after the first dose on days 1, 14 and 85.

    Data as pre-dose were collected at Day3, Day8, Day29, Day43 and Day57.



Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Antiviral Effects of TVR on HCV Were Assessed by Measuring Plasma HCV RNA Levels [ Time Frame: 37 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    HCV RNA concentrations were determined using the COBAS TaqMan HCV test (Roche Diagnostics). The linear dynamic range of the assay was 1.2-7.8 log10 IU/mL.
