Group Intervention Description Cohort D IDX184 Subjects randomized 8:2 (active:placebo) to receive four 25 mg capsules of IDX184 per day for 3 days. Fourteen days after treatment, subjects were offered a course of pegylated interferon and ribavirin according to local standard of care. Cohort B IDX184 Subjects randomized 8:2 (active:placebo) to receive two 25 mg capsules of IDX184 per day for 3 days. Fourteen days after treatment, subjects were offered a course of pegylated interferon and ribavirin according to local standard of care. Cohort C IDX184 Subjects randomized 8:2 (active:placebo) to receive three 25 mg capsules of IDX184 per day for 3 days. Fourteen days after treatment, subjects were offered a course of pegylated interferon and ribavirin according to local standard of care. Cohort A IDX184 Subjects randomized 8:2 (active:placebo) to receive one 25 milligrams (mg) capsule of IDX184 per day for 3 days. Fourteen days after treatment, subjects were offered a course of pegylated interferon and ribavirin according to local standard of care.
