- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Week 12 ]SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; ie, 15 IU/mL) at 12 weeks after stopping study treatment.
- Percentage of Participants Who Permanently Discontinued Any Study Drug Due to an Adverse Event [ Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks ]
- Percentage of Participants With SVR at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24 ]SVR4 and SVR 24 were defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks after stopping study treatment, respectively.
- Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 ]
- HCV RNA at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 ]
- Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 ]
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing On-Treatment Virologic Failure [ Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks ]
On-treatment virologic failure was defined as:
- Breakthrough (confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA < LLOQ while on treatment), or
- Rebound (confirmed > 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment), or
- Non-response (HCV RNA persistently ≥ LLOQ through 8 weeks of treatment)
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing Viral Relapse [ Time Frame: Up to Posttreatment Week 24 ]Viral relapse is defined as HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during the post-treatment period having achieved HCV RNA < LLOQ at end of treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values or last available post-treatment measurement.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female, age greater than or equal to 18 years.
- Confirmed chronic HCV infection.
- Subjects will have cirrhosis status assessment; liver biopsy may be required.
- Genotype 2 subjects must have cirrhosis of the liver to be eligible.
- Treatment-naive or prior treatment failure to ≥12 weeks of an interferon- based regimen that was not discontinued prematurely due to an adverse event
- Infection with HCV genotype 2 or 3 as determined at Screening
- Body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 18 kg/m^2
- Screening laboratory values within predefined thresholds.
- Liver imaging (e.g., ultrasound) within 6 months of Baseline/Day 1 is required in cirrhotic patients to exclude hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the event of intrahepatic lesions, triple phase CT scan or MRI should be performed to exclude HCC.

- Pregnant or nursing female or male with pregnant female partner
- History of any other clinically significant chronic liver disease.
- HIV or chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

- Chronic use of systemically administered immunosuppressive agents.
- Clinically-relevant drug or alcohol abuse.
- History of solid organ transplantation.
- Current or prior history of clinical hepatic decompensation.
- History of clinically-significant illness or any other major medical disorder that may interfere with subject treatment, assessment or compliance with the protocol.
