- The proportion of subjects with a Sustained Virological Response at 24 weeks after the end of therapy. [ Time Frame: 42 weeks ]
- The proportion of subjects with undetectable HCV RNA levels at end of treatment. [ Time Frame: 18 weeks ]
- The proportion of subjects with a Sustained Virological Response at 12 and 48 weeks after the end of therapy. [ Time Frame: 66 Weeks ]
- Change in HCV RNA levels from baseline throughout the study. [ Time Frame: 66 Weeks ]
- The proportion of subjects who experience virological failure throughout the study. [ Time Frame: 66 Weeks ]
- Viral resistance analysis at baseline and throughout the study. [ Time Frame: 66 Weeks ]The miR-122 seed sites in HCV RNA from subjects at baseline and following viral breakthrough or relapse will be subjected to genotypic sequence analysis.
- Plasma pharmacokinetics (AUC, Cmax, tmax) for miravirsen, telaprevir, and ribavirin levels will be determined. [ Time Frame: 31 Weeks ]A single sample will be collected at select study visits for all subjects through Week 31. A subset of subjects will participate in extended PK sampling for up to 5 hours at select study visits and for up to 24 hours after the last dose of miravirsen.
- Urine pharmacokinetics for miravirsen levels will be determined. [ Time Frame: Up to 16 Weeks ]Urine pharmacokinetics (AUC, Cmax, tmax) for miravirsen levels will be measured in a subset of subjects for up to 24 hours after the last dose of miravirsen.
