    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Paritaprevir/Ritonavir + Ombitasvir ± Dasabuvir ± Ribavirin

    Participants in this observational study received treatment with paritaprevir/ritonavir (r) and ombitasvir with or without dasabuvir ± ribavirin (RBV) for 12 or 24 weeks for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC), according to hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype/subtype and stage of liver disease. The prescription of treatment regimen was at the discretion of the physician in accordance with local clinical practice and label, was made independently from this observational study and preceded the decision to offer the patient the opportunity to participate in this study.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Sustained Virological Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12) [12 weeks after the last dose of study drug (week 24 or 36 depending on the treatment regimen)]

      Sustained virologic response was defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) levels less than 50 IU/mL 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Participants with missing HCV RNA were counted as virological failure.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Sufficient Follow-up Who Achieved Sustained Virological Response 24 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR24) [24 weeks after the last dose of study drug (week 36 or 48 depending on the treatment regimen)]

      Sustained virologic response was defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) levels less than 50 IU/mL 24 weeks after the last dose of study drug. The Core population with sufficient follow-up data regarding SVR24 included all core population participants who had evaluable HCV RNA data ≥ 126 days after the last actual dose of the ABBVIE REGIMEN or a HCV RNA value ≥ 50 IU/mL at the last measurement post-baseline or had HCV RNA < 50 IU/mL at the last measurement post-baseline, but no HCV RNA measurement ≥ 126 days after the last actual dose of the ABBVIE REGIMEN due to reasons related to safety (e.g. dropped out due to adverse event) or virologic failure.

    2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Virological Response at End of Treatment [End of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen)]

      Virologic response was defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) levels less than 50 IU/mL.

    3. Percentage of Participants With Relapse [End of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen) and up to 24 weeks after the end of treatment.]

      Relapse was defined as participants with a virologic response (VR; HCV RNA < 50 IU/mL) at end of treatment (EOT) followed by HCV RNA ≥ 50 IU/mL at any time after the end of treatment.

    4. Number of Participants With Breakthrough [12 or 24 weeks (depending on the treatment regimen)]

      Breakthrough was defined as at least one documented HCV RNA < 50 IU/mL followed by HCV RNA ≥ 50 IU/mL during treatment.

    5. Percentage of Participants in Each Non-response Category 12 Weeks Post-treatment [12 weeks after the last dose of study drug (week 24 or 36 depending on the treatment regimen)]

      SVR12 non-response was categorized according to the following: On-treatment virologic failure (breakthrough [at least one documented HCV RNA < 50 IU/mL followed by HCV RNA ≥ 50 IU/mL during treatment] or failure to suppress [each measured on-treatment HCV RNA value ≥ 50 IU/mL]); Relapse, defined as HCV RNA < 50 IU/mL at EOT followed by HCV RNA ≥ 50 IU/mL post-treatment in patients who completed treatment (not more than 7 days shortened); Death; Premature treatment discontinuation with no on-treatment virologic failure; None of the above criteria or missing SVR12 data

    6. Percentage of Participants With Adherence to the ABBVIE Regimen, by Adherence Category [From first dose of study drug to end of treatment, 12 to 24 weeks depending on the treatment regimen.]

      Adherence to the ABBVIE treatment regimen is expressed as a percentage of the target dose and was calculated as: Cumulative dose taken / (initial prescribed dose * planned duration) * 100 The ABBVIE regimen consists of paritaprevir/r and ombitasvir with or without dasabuvir.

    7. Percentage of Participants With Adherence to Ribavirin by Adherence Category [From first dose of study drug to end of treatment, 12 to 24 weeks depending on the treatment regimen]

      Adherence to ribavirin is expressed as a percentage of the target dose, and was calculated as: Cumulative dose taken / (initial prescribed dose * planned duration) * 100

    8. Percentage of Ribavirin Treatment Days in Relation to the Target Number of Ribavirin Treatment Days [From first dose of study drug to end of treatment, 12 to 24 weeks depending on the treatment regimen.]

    9. Number of Participants Who Received Concomitant Medications [From first dose of study drug to end of treatment, 12 to 24 weeks depending on the treatment regimen]

      Concomitant medication other than for chronic hepatitis C used from the time when the decision was made to initiate treatment with paritaprevir/ritonavir and ombitasvir with or without dasabuvir until after the last dose.

    10. Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, or Pregnancies [From first dose of study drug through 30 days after last dose (16 or 28 weeks depending on the treatment regimen)]

    11. Change From Baseline in EuroQol 5 Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) VAS Score [Baseline, end of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen), and at 12 and 24 weeks after end of treatment]

      The EQ-5D-5L is a health state utility instrument that evaluates preference for health status. The 5 items in the EQ-5D-5L comprise 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) each of which are rated on 5 levels of severity (1: indicating no problem, 2: indicating slight problems, 3: indicating moderate problems, 4: indicating severe problems, 5: indicating extreme problems), and a separate visual analog scale (VAS). The VAS assesses overall health on a scale from 0 (worst health imaginable) to 100 (best health imaginable). The higher the score the better the health status.

    12. Change From Baseline in EuroQol 5 Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score [Baseline, end of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen), and at 12 and 24 weeks after end of treatment]

      The EQ-5D-5L is a health state utility instrument that evaluates preference for health status. The 5 items in the EQ-5D-5L comprise 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) each of which are rated on 5 levels of severity (1: indicating no problem, 2: indicating slight problems, 3: indicating moderate problems, 4: indicating severe problems, 5: indicating extreme problems), and a separate visual analog scale (VAS). Responses to the 5 dimension scores were combined and converted into a single preference-weighted health utility index score by applying country-specific weights.The range for EQ-5D-5L index score is 0 to 1 where '0' is defined as a health state equivalent to being dead and '1' is full health.The higher the score the better the health status.

    13. Change From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Absenteeism [Baseline, end of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen), and at 12 and 24 weeks after end of treatment]

      The WPAI Hepatitis C V2.0 is an HCV specific questionnaire used to measure work absenteeism, work presenteeism, and daily activity impairment. Respondents were asked about time missed from work and time while at work during which productivity was impaired in the past seven days. Results of WPAI are expressed as a percentage of impairment from 0 to 100, with higher percentages indicating greater impairment and less productivity. Absenteeism indicates the percentage of work time missed due to health problems.

    14. Change From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Presenteeism [Baseline, end of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen), and at 12 and 24 weeks after end of treatment]

      The WPAI Hepatitis C V2.0 is an HCV specific questionnaire used to measure work absenteeism, work presenteeism, and daily activity impairment. Respondents were asked about time missed from work and time while at work during which productivity was impaired in the past seven days. Results of WPAI are expressed as a percentage of impairment from 0 to 100, with higher percentages indicating greater impairment and less productivity. Presenteeism indicates the percentage of impairment while working due to health problems.

    15. Change From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Total Work Productivity Impairment (TWP) [Baseline, end of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen), and at 12 and 24 weeks after end of treatment]

      The WPAI Hepatitis C V2.0 is an HCV specific questionnaire used to measure work absenteeism, work presenteeism, and daily activity impairment. Respondents were asked about time missed from work and time while at work during which productivity was impaired in the past seven days. Results of WPAI are expressed as a percentage of impairment from 0 to 100, with higher percentages indicating greater impairment and less productivity. Total work productivity impairment (TWP) indicates the percentage of overall work impairment due to health problems.

    16. Change From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Total Activity Impairment [Baseline, end of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen), and at 12 and 24 weeks after end of treatment]

      The WPAI Hepatitis C V2.0 is an HCV specific questionnaire used to measure work absenteeism, work presenteeism, and daily activity impairment. Respondents were asked about time missed from work and time while at work during which productivity was impaired in the past seven days. Results of WPAI are expressed as a percentage of impairment from 0 to 100, with higher percentages indicating greater impairment and less productivity. Total activity impairment (TAI) indicates the percentage of general (non-work) activity impairment due to health problems.

    17. Change From Baseline in Patient Activation Measure 13 (PAM-13) [Baseline and end of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen)]

      PAM-13 is a measure used to assess the patient knowledge, skill, and confidence for self-management, consisting of 13 questions. Each of the 13 items can be answered with one of four possible response options, which are "disagree strongly" (1), "disagree" (2), "agree" (3), "agree strongly" (4). Scores were summed to calculate the overall raw score, then transformed to a scale with a theoretical range 0 to 100, based on calibration tables, with higher PAM scores indicating that the participant is likely to participate more actively in health care processes and takes more responsibility for his or her health.

    18. Number of Participants Who Participated in the AbbVie Patient Support Program (PSP) [Up to post treatment week 24]

    19. Utilization of the AbbVie Patient Support Program (PSP) Components [End of treatment (week 12 or 24 depending on the treatment regimen)]

      At the end of treatment visit participants were asked to indicate which of the following PSP services they had used: Personal support (e.g., Care Coach) Printed educational material Online educational materials Web-portal App

    20. Satisfaction With the AbbVie Patient Support Program (PSP) Components [End of treatment (weeks 12 or 24 depending on treatment regimen)]

      At the end of treatment visit participants were asked to indicate their level of satisfaction with each of the PSP services they had used.
