- Segment 1: Safety [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]Segment 1: Percentage of subjects with the following: adverse events, abnormal laboratory safety tests, dose reductions, interruptions, and discontinuations. Criteria for abnormal laboratory safety tests: treatment-emergent worsening DAIDs graded laboratory tests.
- Segment 1 : Rapid Viral Response at Week 4 (RVR4) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]The primary efficacy endpoint for Segment 1 of the study was the percentage of subjects in each treatment group achieving RVR at Week 4 (HCV RNA< or equal to LOQ at the Week 4 visit).
- Segment 2: Safety [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Segment 2: Percentage of Subjects with the following: adverse events, abnormal laboratory safety tests and dose reductions, interruptions and discontinuations. Criteria for abnormal laboratory safety tests: treatment-emergent worsening DAIDs graded laboratory tests.
