- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Week 12 ]SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) at 12 weeks after stopping study treatment.
- Percentage of Participants Who Permanently Discontinue Study Drug Due to an Adverse Event [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]
- Percentage of Participants With SVR at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24 ]SVR4 and SVR 24 were defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks after stopping study treatment, respectively.
- Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ On Treatment [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 ]
- Change From Baseline in HCV RNA [ Time Frame: Baseline; Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 ]
- Percentage of Participants With Virologic Failure [ Time Frame: Up to Posttreatment Week 24 ]
Virologic failure was defined as:
-
On-treatment virologic failure:
- 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:
- Confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during the posttreatment period having achieved HCV RNA < LLOQ at last on-treatment visit
