Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of Adverse Events Leading to Permanent Discontinuation of Study Drug(s)Up to 24 weeks

The percentage of participants discontinuing any study drug due to an adverse event was summarized.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) at 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12)Posttreatment Week 12

SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA \< the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; ie, 25 IU/mL) at 12 weeks after stopping study treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Experiencing On-treatment Virologic FailureUp to 24 weeks

On-treatment virologic failure was defined as:

1. Viral breakthrough: HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA \< LLOQ while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value may have been posttreatment) or with a last available on-treatment measurement and no subsequent follow-up values, or

2. Viral rebound: \> 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value may have been posttreatment) or with a last available on-treatment measurement and no subsequent follow-up values, or

3. Nonresponse: HCV RNA persistently ≥ LLOQ through 8 weeks of treatment

Percentage of Participants Experiencing Viral RelapseUp to Posttreatment Week 24

Viral relapse was defined as having achieved undetectable HCV RNA levels (HCV RNA \< LLOQ) at end of treatment, but did not achieve an SVR.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24)Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24

SVR4 and SVR24 were defined as HCV RNA \< LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks following the last dose of study drug, respectively.
