Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Achievement of sustained virological response (SVR) | 12 weeks post treatment | Percentage of patients with Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12) SVR12 is defined as HCV RNA \< the lower limit of quantitation 12 weeks following the last dose of study drug. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tolerability | During 12 weeks of treatment | Tolerability assessment by reporting any adverse events in addition to laboratory abnormalities via continuous monitoring of CBC, transaminases, serum bilirubin, and serum creatinine at baseline and every 4 weeks during treatment. |
