Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants Achieving Undetectable HCV RNA 12 Weeks After Completing Study Therapy (SVR12)
12 weeks after the end of all study treatment (up to 28 weeks)

HCV RNA was measured using the Roche COBAS® Taqman® HCV Test, v2.0 assay.

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AE)
Up to 18 weeks

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment Due to an AE
Up to 16 weeks

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Secondary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants Achieving Undetectable HCV RNA 24 Weeks After the End of All Treatment (SVR24)
24 weeks after the end of all study treatment (up to 40 weeks)
