Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Main Objective: To determine the persistence of resistance associated variants associated with failure to previous alisporivir therapy.;Secondary Objective: -To perform phenotypic analysis of HCV isolates to determine the patients susceptibility/resistance to alisporivir in vitro<br>-To monitor the changes in liver function and disease over time<br>-To assess the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)<br>-To assess the safety over time of previous alisporivir exposure;Primary end point(s): Time to reversion to wild-type for subjects who had genotypic change (resistance associated variants) in the feeder study. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During 11 scheduled visits within three years according to the assessment schedule

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Secondary end point(s): -HCV RNA viral load<br>-Liver fibrosis evaluations using Fibrotest and elastography, and to monitor for any changes over time using ultrasound of the liver and spleen <br>-The assessment of safety will be based on the analyses of adverse events, vital signs and laboratory evaluations;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During 11 scheduled visits within three years according to the assessment schedule
