Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Patients With Either Undetectable Serum HCV RNA (<100 Copies/ml) or at Least a 2-log Decrease From Baseline in Serum Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) at Treatment Week 12.
Treatment Week 12

The primary efficacy endpoint was the numbers of responders at Treatment Week (TW) 12. Responders are defined as patients achieving either viral negativity or a partial response (PR). Viral negativity is defined as \<100 copies/mL serum HCV RNA. A PR is defined as \< 100 copies/mL serum HCV RNA and at least a 2-log decrease from baseline in serum HCV RNA levels. Responder rates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were estimated for each treatment group.

Secondary Endpoints
