    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) at 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12) [Posttreatment Week 12]

      SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; ie, 25 IU/mL) at 12 weeks after stopping study treatment.

    2. Incidence of Adverse Events Leading to Permanent Discontinuation of Study Drug(s) [Up to 24 weeks]

      The percentage of participants permanently discontinuing any study drug due to an adverse event was summarized.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24) [Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24]

      SVR4 and SVR 24 were defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks following the last dose of study drug, respectively.

    2. Percentage of Participants Experiencing On-treatment Virologic Failure [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)

    3. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Virologic Relapse [Up to Posttreatment Week 12]

      Virologic relapse was defined as confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during the posttreatment period having achieved HCV RNA < LLOQ at last on-treatment visit.
