Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Sustained Virological Response at Week 12 (SVR12)
Post-treatment at week 12

Viral kinetic assessment using SVR 12 to either "lead-in" 4 weeks with PegInterferon + Ribavirin or no lead-in, followed by response guided therapy of 24 or 48 weeks based on viral response to treatment. Standard of care treatment stopping rules will be followed with assessment of viral response at week 12 of treatment.
