What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Sustained Viral Response (SVR) 12 Weeks After End of Treatment (SVR12)

    SVR12 was defined as hepatitis C (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) laboratory value below level of quantification (LOQ) (i.e., 25 IU/ml) 12 weeks after the end of treatment.

    Time frame: 12 weeks posttreatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved SVR 24 Weeks After the End of Treatment (SVR24)

    SVR24 was defined as HCV RNA laboratory value \< LOQ 24 weeks after the end of treatment.

    Time frame: 24 weeks posttreatment

  2. Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA Laboratory Value Below Level of Detection 12 Weeks After the End of Treatment (SVR12-LOD)

    Level of detection (LOD) was defined as 10 IU/mL

    Time frame: 12 weeks posttreatment

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug or Required Dose Reduction or Dose Interruption Due to Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Time frame: 48 weeks
