- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Week 12 ]SVR12 is defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; ie, < 25 IU/mL) 12 weeks following the last dose of study drug.
- Percentage of Participants Who Permanently Discontinued Any Study Drug Due to an Adverse Event [ Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks ]
- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24 ]SVR4 and SVR24 are defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks following the last dose of study drug, respectively.
- Percentage of Participants With On-Treatment Virologic Failure [ Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks ]Viral breakthrough was defined as HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA < LLOQ while receiving treatment.
- Percentage of Participants With Viral Relapse [ Time Frame: Up to Posttreatment Week 24 ]Viral relapse was 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.
- Change From Baseline in HCV RNA (log10 IU/mL) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks ]
