Primary | Percentage of Participants Achieving Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks After the End of All Study Therapy (SVR12) | Blood was drawn from each participant to assess Hepatitis C Virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) plasma levels using the Roche COBAS™ Taqman™ HCV Test, v2.0 at various time points prior to, during, and after dosing. The Roche COBAS Taqman HCV Test, v2.0 assay (High Pure System) had a lower limit of quantification of 25 IU/mL and a limit of detection of 15.1 IU/mL (in plasma). SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA <25 IU/ml at 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy. 95% confidence intervals provided based on the Clopper-Pearson method. | 12 weeks after end of therapy (up to 30 weeks) | |
Primary | Percentage of Participants Experiencing at Least One Adverse Event (AE) During the Treatment Period and First 14 Follow-up Days | An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product, was also an AE. | From Day 1 [post-dose] through 14 days following last dose of study drug (up to 20 weeks) | |
Primary | Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Study Therapy Due to an AE During the Treatment Period and First 14 Follow-up Days | An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product, was also an AE. | From Day 1 [post-dose] through 14 days following last dose of study drug (up to 20 weeks) | |
Secondary | Mean Time to First Achievement of Undetectable Hepatitis C Virus Ribonucleic Acid (HCV RNA) | Blood was drawn from each participant to assess HCV RNA plasma levels using the Roche COBAS™ Taqman™ HCV Test, v2.0 at various time points prior to, during, and after dosing.
