Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Sustained Virological Response (SVR) According to Genotype and Previous Treatment
SVR was defined as participants with undetectable Hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) at 24 weeks after completion of treatment. Undetectable HCV RNA was defined as a single last HCV RNA less than (\<) 20 international units per milliliter (IU/mL). SVR was evaluated based on HCV genotype (G1, G2, G3 and G4), participant's interleukin 28B genotype (CC, CT and TT), and previous treatment (treatment naive or previous treatment).
6 months after the last study drug administration (up to 123.6 weeks)
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Percentage of Participants With Undetectable HCV RNA

HCV RNA Values
Baseline; Weeks 4, 12, end of treatment (up to 99.6 weeks) and 6 months after end of treatment (up to 123.6 weeks)
Thrombocyte Values
Baseline; Weeks 4, 12, end of treatment (up to 99.6 weeks) and 6 months after end of treatment (up to 123.6 weeks)
Leukocyte Values
