Inclusion Criteria
Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for participation in
this study
1 Willing and able to provide written informed consent
2 Male or female age greater than or is equal to 18 years
3 HCV RNA greater than or is equal to 10raise to 4 IU per mL at screening
4 Confirmed chronic HCV infection as documented by either
a a positive anti HCV antibody test or positive HCV RNA or positive HCV genotyping
test at least 6 months prior to the Baseline per Day 1 visit or
b a liver biopsy prior to the Baseline per Day 1 visit with evidence of chronic HCV infection
5 HCV genotype 1 or 3 at screening as determined by the Central Laboratory Any non definitive results will exclude the subject from study participation
6 Documented HCV treatment naive defined as no prior exposure to any IFN RBV or
other approved or experimental direct acting antiviral targeting HCV
7 Approximately 30 percent of subjects may have compensated cirrhosis at screening
a Cirrhosis is defined as any one of the following
Liver biopsy showing cirrhosis eg Metavir score is equal to 4 or Ishak score greater than or is equal to 5
Fibroscan showing cirrhosis or results greater than 12.5 kPa
FibroTest score of greater than 0.75 AND an AST platelet ratio index APRI of greater than 2 performed during Screening
b Absence of cirrhosis is defined as any one of the following
Liver biopsy within 2 years of Screening showing absence of cirrhosis
Fibroscan with a result of less than or is equal to 12.5 kPa within 6 months of Baseline per Day1
FibroTest score of less than or is equal to 0.48 AND APRI of less than or is equal to 1 performed during Screening
In the absence of a definitive diagnosis of the presence or absence of cirrhosis by the
above criteria a liver biopsy is required Liver biopsy results supersede the results
obtained by Fibroscan or FibroTest
8 For subjects with cirrhosis Results from liver imaging done within 6 months of Baselin per Day 1that exclude hepatocellular carcinoma HCC 9 Body mass index BMI greater than or is equal to 18 kg per m2
10 Screening ECG without clinically significant abnormalities
11 Subjects must have the following laboratory parameters at screening
a ALT less than or is equal to 10 of the upper limit of normal ULN
b AST less than or is equal to 10 of ULN
c Hemoglobin greater than or is equal to 12 g per dL for male greater than or is equal to 11 g per dL for female subjects
d Platelets greater than or is equal to 50000 cells per mm3
e INR less than or is equal to 1.5 of ULN unless subject has known hemophilia or is stable on an anticoagulant regimen affecting INR
f Albumin greater than or is equal to 3 g per dL
g Direct bilirubin less than or is equal to 1.5 of ULN
h HbA1c less than or is equal to 10 percent
i Creatinine clearance greater than or is equal to 60 mL per min as calculated by the Cockcroft Gault equation
12 A female subject is eligible to enter the study if it is confirmed that she is
a Not pregnant or nursing
b Of non-childbearing potential ie women who have had a hysterectomy both ovaries
removed or medically documented ovarian failure, or are postmenopausal wome
Exclusion Criteria
Subjects who meet any of the following exclusion criteria are not to be enrolled in this study.
1. Pregnant or nursing female or male with pregnant female partner
2. Chronic liver disease of a non HCV etiology (eg, hemochromatosis, Wilsonâ??s disease, alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, cholangitis)
3. Infection with hepatitis B virus HBV or human immunodeficiency virus HIV
4. Contraindication to RBV therapy, eg. history of clinically significant hemoglobinopathy (sickle cell disease, thalassemia.
5. History of malignancy diagnosed or treated within 5 years recent localized treatment
of squamous or non invasive basal cell skin cancers is permitted; cervical carcinoma
in situ is allowed if appropriately treated prior to screening; subjects under
evaluation for malignancy are not eligible.
6. Chronic use of systemically administered immunosuppressive agents eg, prednisone
equivalent 10 mg per day
7. Clinically relevant drug or alcohol abuse within 12 months of screening. A positive
drug screen will exclude subjects unless it can be explained by a prescribed medication; the diagnosis and prescription should be approved by the investigator.
8. Excessive alcohol ingestion, defined as 3 glasses per day 1 glass is equivalent to 284 mL beer, 125 mL wine, or 25 mL distilled spirits for females and 4 glasses per day for males.
9. History of solid organ transplantation
10. Current or prior history of clinical hepatic decompensation eg, ascites, variceal
hemorrhage, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome and hepatopulmonary syndrome
11. History of clinically significant illness or any other major medical disorder that may
interfere with subject treatment, assessment or compliance with the protocol
12. History of a gastrointestinal disorder or post operative condition that could interfere
with the absorption of the study drug
13. History of significant pulmonary disease, significant cardiac disease or porphyria
14. History of difficulty with blood collection and or poor venous access for the purposes
of phlebotomy
15. Use of any prohibited concomitant medications as described in Section 5.6
16. Known hypersensitivity to RBV, the study investigational medicinal product, the
metabolites, or formulation excipients
