Population: On-treatment VF: Full Analysis Set. Posttreatment/Pretransplant VF - 24 Weeks or 48 Weeks: Participants who completed 24 or 48 weeks of treatment and had an observed or imputed Week 4 posttreatment follow-up HCV RNA value relapsed during posttreatment follow-up were analyzed.

Virologic failure (VF) in the pretransplant phase was defined by: * Breakthrough (HCV RNA ≥ 25 IU/ml after having previously had HCV RNA \< 25 IU/ml, while on treatment) * Rebound (breakthrough or \> 1 log10 IU/ml increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment) * Non-response (HCV RNA ≥ 25 IU/ml through 8 weeks of treatment) * Pre-transplant relapse (HCV RNA ≥ 25 IU/ml during the Pre-Transplant off-treatment follow-up period after having achieved HCV RNA \< 25 IU/ml at last observed HCV RNA on treatment)
