What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) at 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12)

    SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA \< the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; ie, 25 IU/mL) at 12 weeks after stopping study treatment.

    Time frame: Posttreatment Week 12

  2. Incidence of Adverse Events Leading to Permanent Discontinuation of Study Drug(s)

    The percentage of participants discontinuing any study drug due to an adverse event was summarized.

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24)

    SVR4 and SVR24 were defined as HCV RNA \< LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks following the last dose of study drug, respectively.

    Time frame: Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24

  2. Percentage of Participants Experiencing On-treatment Virologic Failure

    On-treatment virologic failure was defined as: 1. Viral breakthrough: HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA \< LLOQ while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value may have been posttreatment) or with a last available on-treatment measurement and no subsequent follow-up values, or 2. Viral rebound: \> 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value may have been posttreatment) or with a last available on-treatment measurement and no subsequent follow-up values, or 3. Nonresponse: HCV RNA persistently ≥ LLOQ through 8 weeks of treatment

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  3. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Viral Relapse

    Viral relapse was defined as having achieved undetectable HCV RNA levels (HCV RNA \< LLOQ) at end of treatment, but did not achieve an SVR.

    Time frame: Up to Posttreatment Week 24
