Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) 12 Weeks After the Last Planned Dose of Study Drugs (SVR12 Planned)
End of trial, 12 weeks after last planned dose

The table below shows the percentage of participants achieving Sustained Virologic Response 12 weeks after last planned dose of study medication (SVR12 planned). SVR was defined as having Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels less than 25 international units/milliliter (IU/mL).

Secondary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 24 Weeks After the Last Planned Dose of Study Drugs (SVR24 Planned)
End of trial, 24 weeks after last planned dose
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 72 Weeks After the Start of Study Medication (SVR72 Planned)
End of trial, 72 weeks after the start of study medication
Percentage of Participants Achieving Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Values of Less Than 25 IU/ml, Target Not Detected, at Different Time Points.
