NCT01554189

Brief Summary

This study is being done to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MK-8325 in male hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected participants. There will be 3 parts to this study. Part I will enroll only genotype 1 (GT1) HCV patients, Part II will enroll only genotype 3 (GT3) HCV-infected participants, and Part III will enroll only GT1a HCV-infected participants. All parts may run concurrently, or may be staggered as needed by the clinical sites.
