Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Study Drug (SVR12)Posttreatment Week 12

SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA level \< the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ, ie, \< 25 copies/mL) 12 weeks after last dose of study drug.

Incidence of Adverse Events Leading to Permanent Discontinuation From Any Study DrugUp to 24 weeks

The percentage of participants who experienced an adverse event leading to permanent discontinuation from any study drug was summarized.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 2Week 2
Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 4Week 4
Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 8Week 8
Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 2Baseline; Week 2
Percentage of Participants With SVR at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Study DrugPosttreatment Weeks 4 and 24

SVR4 and SVR24 were defined as HCV RNA level \< LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks after discontinuation of study drug, respectively.

Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 4Baseline; Week 4
Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 8Baseline; Week 8
Percentage of Participants With Virologic FailureBaseline to posttreatment Week 24

On-treatment virologic failure was defined as:

* Breakthrough: HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA \< LLOQ, while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value could have been posttreatment), or last available on-treatment measurement with no subsequent follow- up values, OR

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

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

Virologic relapse was defined as HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during the posttreatment period having achieved HCV RNA \< LLOQ at end of treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values or last available posttreatment measurement
