Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Week 12 ]
    SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; ie, 25 IU/mL) 12 weeks following the last dose of study drug.

  2. Incidence of Adverse Events Leading to Permanent Discontinuation From Any Study Drug [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]
    The percentage of participants who experienced an adverse event leading to permanent discontinuation from any study drug was summarized.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24 ]
    SVR4 and SVR24 were defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks following the last dose of study drug, respectively.

  2. Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 2 [ Time Frame: Week 2 ]
  3. Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Week 4 ]
  4. Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 8 [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]
  5. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 2 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 2 ]
  6. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 4 ]
  7. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 8 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 8 ]
  8. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Virologic Failure [ Time Frame: Baseline to posttreatment Week 24 ]

    Virologic failure was defined as on-treatment virologic failure or virologic relapse.

    • On-Treatment Virologic Failure was defined as

      • Breakthrough (confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA < LLOQ while on treatment), or
      • Rebound (confirmed > 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment), or
      • Non-response (HCV RNA persistently ≥ LLOQ through 8 weeks of treatment) Virologic relapse was defined as confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during the posttreatment period having achieved HCV RNA < LLOQ at last on-treatment visit.
