Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: •To compare MK-5172A to SOF/PR in the treatment of HCV, as assessed by the proportion of subjects achieving SVR12 (Sustained Virologic Response 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy), defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ (either TD[u] or TND) 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy. •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-5172A as compared to SOF/PR. ;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate the safety profile of MK-5172A as compared to SOF/PR, as assessed by the proportion of subjects experiencing a Tier 1 safety event, as defined as: -any serious drug-related adverse event (AE) -any drug-related AE leading to permanent discontinuation of all study drugs -neutrophil count <0.75 x 109/L -hemoglobin <10 g/dL -any event leading to discontinuation of study drug as defined in Section 5.8 numbers 6-13 (of the protocol) •To evaluate whether MK-5172A has superior efficacy to SOF/PR in the treatment of HCV, as assessed by the proportion of subjects achieving SVR12 (Sustained Virologic Response 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy), defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ (either TD[u] or TND) 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy. ;Primary end point(s): The SVR12 rate of the subjects in the MK-5172A arm compared to that in the SOF/PR arm.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: SVR12 (baseline and follow-up Week 12)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): •SVR4 (Sustained Virologic Response 4 weeks after the end of all study therapy):.Follow-up Week 24 •SVR24 (Sustained Virologic Response 24 weeks after the end of all study therapy):.Follow-up Week 24 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: SVR24 (baseline and follow-up Week 24)
