- Part 1: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ombitasvir (OBV) [ Time Frame: At Week 2 ]Cmax is the peak concentration that a drug or drug metabolite achieves in a specified compartment after the drug has been administrated and before administration of a second dose.
- Part 1: Concentration of Drug in Blood Plasma Over Time [Area Under the Curve (AUC)] of Ombitasvir (OBV) [ Time Frame: At Week 2 ]AUC is a measure of how long and how much drug is present in the body after dosing. The amount of ombitasvir present was measured up to 24 hours after dosing.
- Part 1: Lowest Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of Ombitasvir (OBV) [ Time Frame: At Weeks 2 and 8 ]Minimum plasma concentration (Ctrough; measured in ng/mL) was directly determined from the concentration-time data.
- Part 1: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Paritaprevir (PTV) [ Time Frame: At Week 2 ]Cmax is the peak concentration that a drug or drug metabolite achieves in a specified compartment after the drug has been administrated and before administration of a second dose.
- Part 1: Concentration of Drug in Blood Plasma Over Time [Area Under the Curve (AUC)] of Paritaprevir (PTV) [ Time Frame: At Week 2 ]AUC is a measure of how long and how much drug is present in the body after dosing. The amount of paritaprevir present was measured up to 24 hours after dosing.
- Part 1: Lowest Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of Paritaprevir (PTV) [ Time Frame: At Weeks 2 and 8 ]Minimum plasma concentration (Ctrough; measured in ng/mL) was directly determined from the concentration-time data.
- Part 1: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Dasabuvir (DSV) [ Time Frame: At Week 2 ]Cmax is the peak concentration that a drug or drug metabolite achieves in a specified compartment after the drug has been administrated and before administration of a second dose.
- Part 1: Concentration of Drug in Blood Plasma Against Time [Area Under the Curve (AUC)] of Dasabuvir (DSV) [ Time Frame: At Week 2 ]AUC is a measure of how long and how much drug is present in the body after dosing. The amount of dasabuvir present was measured up to 12 hours after dosing. For two subjects in the 15-29 kg group, the 24 h concentration was used as the 12 h concentration due to the significant sampling time deviation. For one subject in the 30-44 kg group, the 24 h concentration was used as the 12 h concentration due to the significant sampling time deviation.

- Part 1: Concentration of Drug in Blood Plasma Over Time [Area Under the Curve (AUC)] of Ritonavir (RTV) [ Time Frame: At Week 2 ]AUC is a measure of how long and how much drug is present in the body after dosing. The amount of ritonavir present was measured up to 24 hours after dosing.

- Parts 1 and 2: Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks After the Last Actual Dose of Study Drug (SVR12) Summarized by Formulation, Age and Weight Group, and Across All Subjects on the Adult Formulations [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after last dose of study drug (Week 24 or 36 depending on treatment duration) ]SVR12 is defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) < lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) 12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug.
- Parts 1 & 2: Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 24 Weeks After the Last Actual Dose of Study Drug (SVR24), Summarized by Formulation, Age and Weight Group, Across All Subjects, and Across All Subjects on the Adult Formulations [ Time Frame: 24 weeks after last dose of study drug (Week 36 or 48 depending on treatment duration) ]SVR24 is defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) < lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) 24 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug.
- Parts 1 and 2: Percentage of Participants With Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Normalization During Treatment by Formulation, Age and Weight Group, Across All Subjects, and Across All Subjects on the Adult Formulations [ Time Frame: 12 or 24 weeks after starting study drug, depending on treatment duration ]Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization during treatment is defined as ALT ≤ the upper limit of normal (ULN) at the final treatment visit for participants with ALT > ULN at baseline.
