Exclusion Criteria

HCV infection of mixed genotype (1/2, 1/3, and 1/4) diagnosed by genotypic testing at screening. 2.Evidence of acute or chronic liver disease due to causes other than chronic HCV infection. Incidential steatosis diagnosed by biopsy is not considered evidence of liver disease. 3.Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with presence of HBs-Ag. 4.Active malignancy, or history of malignancy within the last 5 years prior to screening 5. Active or history of alcohol or illicit drug abuse other than cannabis within the past 12 months. 6.A condition that is defined as one which in the opinion of investigator may put the patient at risk because of participation in this study, influence the results of this study, or limit the patient’s ability to participate in this study. 7. Usage of any investigational drugs within 28 days prior to screening, or planned usage of an investigational drug during the course of this study. 8 Received concomitant systemic antiviral (other than antiretroviral), hematopoietic growth factor, or immunomodulatory treatment within 28 days prior to enrolment. Patients being treated with oral antivirals such as acyclovir, famcilovir or valacyclovir for recurrent herpes simplex infection; or with oseltamivir or zanamivir for influenza A infection, may be enrolled. 9.Received silymarin (milk thistle), glycyrrhizin, or Sho-saiko-to (SST) within 28 days prior to enrolment. 10.Patients who have been previously treated with at least one dose of any antiviral or inmunomodulatory drug other than interferon alfa or ribavirin for acute or chronic HCV infection including and not restricted to protease or polymerase inhibitors. 11. Known hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the study drugs. 12 Alpha fetoprotein value >100 ng/mL at screening; if > 20 ng/mL and = 100 ng/mL, patients may be included if there is no evidence of liver cancer in an appropriate imaging study (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI) within last 6 months prior to randomisation. 13. Decompensated liver disease, or history of decompensated liver disease, as evidenced by ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, esophageal variceal bleeding, and/or laboratory values which add up to > 7 points according to the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) classification. 14. Patients with stable cardiac disease and Hemoglobin <12 g/dL. 15. Pre-existing psychiatric condition that could interfere with the subject’s participation in and completion of the study including but not limited to prior suicidal attempt, schizophrenia, major depression syndrome, severe anxiety, severe personality disorder, a period of disability or impairment due to a psychiatric disease within the past 5 years. 16. Clinical evidence of significant or unstable cardiovascular disease, including angina, myocardial infarction within 6 months, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, significant arrhythmia or clinically significant abnormalities on ECG at screening. 17. Clinical evidence of chronic pulmonary disease (e.g. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) associated with functional impairment. 18 Active autoimmune disease, including autoimmune hepatitis. 19. History or evidence of retinopathy or clinically significant ophthalmological disorder including diabetic or hypertensive retinopathy, retinal haemorrhages, cotton wool spots, papilloedema, optic neuropathy, or retinal artery/vein obstruction.
