Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Proportion of participants with sustained virologic response 12 weeks (SVR12) after discontinuation of therapy

    SVR12 is defined as HCV RNA \< lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) 12 weeks after last dose of study drug.

    Post treatment Week 12

  • Proportion of participants with adverse events leading to permanent discontinuation of study drug(s)

    Baseline up to Week 24

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Proportion of participants with unquantifiable HCV viral load at specified time points during and after treatment

    Baseline up to Week 24

  • Treatment adherence

    Baseline to Week 12

  • Change in health related quality of life evaluated with questionnaires

    Up to Posttreatment Week 24

  • Change in mental health evaluated with questionnaires

    Up to Posttreatment Week 24

  • Liver disease progression

    Up to 10 years
