- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 (SVR12) [ Time Frame: 12 Weeks after treatment discontinuation (Follow-up Week 12) ]SVR12 was defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) < lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) target detected (TD) or not detected (TND) at post-treatment follow-up Week 12. Imputed SVR12 was based on Next Value Carried Backwards approach.
- Number of Participants With Deaths, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and AEs Leading to Discontinuation From Treatment [ Time Frame: From signature of the informed consent until 4 weeks after last treatment administration.(Approximately 17 months) ]SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/ birth defect.
- Number of Participants With Selected Grade 3/4 Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: From signature of the informed consent until 4 weeks after last treatment administration.(Approximately 17 months) ]Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities (hematology, electrolyte, lipase, liver function, metabolic, renal function, urinalysis). The Week 24 data set was used to evaluate the Week-24 on-treatment safety. The cumulative data set was used to evaluate the safety while on treatment. Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTCAE) Grades:1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, 4=Life-threatening/disabling, 5=Death.
- Percentage of Participants With End of Treatment Response (EOTR) [ Time Frame: End of the treatment ]EOTR was defined as HCV RNA less than the lower limit of quantitation, target detected or not detected at end of treatment.
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved HCV RNA <LLOQ TD/TND [ Time Frame: Treatment Weeks 1, 2, 4 and 6; post-treatment Weeks 2 (SVR2), 4 (SVR4), 12 (SVR12) and 24 (SVR24) ]Percentage of Participants with hepatitis C virus(HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) < lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), target detected (TD) or target not detected (TND) were presented at treatment Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, and follow-up Weeks 2 (SVR2), 4 (SVR4), 12 (SVR12) and 24 (SVR24).
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved HCV RNA < LLOQ TND [ Time Frame: Treatment Weeks 1, 2, 4 and 6; post-treatment Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 24 ]Percentage of Participants with hepatitis C virus(HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) < lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), target not detected (TND) were presented at treatment Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, and follow-up Weeks 2 (SVR2), 4 (SVR4), and 24 (SVR24).
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved SVR12 Associated With HCV Geno Subtype 1a vs 1b [ Time Frame: Post-treatment Week 12 ]Percentage of Participants who Achieved SVR12 Associated with HCV geno subtype 1a or 1b
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved SVR12 Associated With Interleukin-28B (IL28B) rs12979860 SNP Status (CC Genotype or Non-CC Genotype) [ Time Frame: Post-treatment Week 12 ]Percentage of Participants who Achieved SVR12 Associated with IL28B rs12979860 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) status (CC genotype or non CC genotype) were reported.
