SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: End of Treatment (Week 48) up to Follow-up Period (until Week 72)

Population: ITT population included all randomized participants who took at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies those participants who were evaluable for this measure.

Participants are considered to have a viral relapse if both conditions as specified are met: 1) \<25 IU/mL undetectable HCV RNA at the actual end of study drug treatment; 2) confirmed HCV RNA greater than or equal to (\>=) 25 IU/mL during follow-up.
