- Proportion of subjects who develop treatment emergent cytopenic abnormalities (anemia as defined by Hb < 10 g/dL, and/or neutropenia as defined by ANC < 750 mm3 and/or thrombocytopenia as defined by platelets < 50,000 mm3) in treatment-naive subjects [ Time Frame: Up to 48 weeks of treatment ]
- ANC = Absolute Neutrophil Count
- Hb = Hemoglobin
- Proportion of subjects with Sustained Virologic Response at Post-Treatment Follow-up Week 24 (SVR24), defined as Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) < Lower Limit of Quantitation of Assay (LLOQ) [ Time Frame: At Post-Treatment Follow-up Week 24 ]
- Proportion of subjects with Rapid Virologic Response (RVR) (HCV RNA not detected) [ Time Frame: On treatment Week 4 (of an up to 48-week treatment period) ]
- Proportion of subjects with on-treatment Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) through end of treatment [ Time Frame: Up to 48 weeks of treatment ]
- Proportion of subjects with dose reductions through end of treatment [ Time Frame: Up to 48 weeks of treatment ]
- Proportion of subjects who discontinue due to Adverse Events (AEs) through end of treatment [ Time Frame: Up to 48 weeks of treatment ]
- Proportion of subjects with on-treatment Interferon (IFN)-associated symptoms as determined by adverse event reporting [ Time Frame: Up to 48 weeks of treatment ]
On-treatment IFN-associated symptoms are:
- Flu-like symptoms (as defined by pyrexia or chills or pain)
- Musculoskeletal symptoms (as defined by arthralgia or myalgia or back pain)
- Neurological symptoms (headache or dizziness)
- Constitutional symptoms (fatigue or asthenia)
- Psychiatric symptoms (depression or irritability or insomnia)
