Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)
Up to Day 42

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to an AE
Up to Day 7

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.

Change From Baseline in Maximum log10 HCV RNA Following Multiple Dose Oral Administration of MK-1075
Day 1 (pre-dose, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours postdose); Days 3, 4, 5, 6 (pre-dose); Day 7 (predose, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 192 hours postdose); Days 21, 28 and 42

Blood was collected on Days 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 21, 28 and 42, where baseline measurement was defined as the measurement obtained pre-dose on the first day of dosing. Change from baseline in log10 HCV RNA levels, was determined, and the maximum reduction in HCV RNA was analyzed by an ANOVA model with a fixed effect for treatment. The primary hypothesis is, with a posterior probability larger than 70%, there is at least a 3 log10 reduction from baseline in HCV RNA.

Percentage of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)
Up to Study Day 14

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also an AE. The percentage of participants that experienced an AE was reported for each treatment panel.

Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Due to an AE
Up to Study Day 14

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also an AE. The percentage of participants that discontinued the study due to an AE was reported for each treatment panel.

Maximum HCV Viral Load (VL) Change From Baseline Over Time Following Single-Dose MK-1075
Pre-dose (baseline), 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 72, and 120 hours post-dose

For assessment of antiviral activity of MK-1075 at each study dose, baseline and post-dose HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) (log10) were measured at pre-dose and 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 72, and 120 hours post-dose. For each participant, baseline measurement was defined as the measurement obtained pre-dose on the first day of dosing. The estimated change from baseline in HCV RNA VL (log10) was calculated for each participant by time point after each single dose, and the maximum change (reduction) in HCV RNA was determined and reported for each treatment arm using an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) model.
