Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In Part B, participants with hepatitis C virus (HCV) GT1 and HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels of ≥10,000 IU/mL will be randomly assigned to a study arm, based on absence or presence of cirrhosis (C), whether they are TN or had poor response to previous antiviral therapy (null responders \[NR\]), or whether co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); these participants will receive open-label grazoprevir (100 mg) in combination with elbasvir (50 mg) ± RBV. Treatment will last 8 to 18 weeks dependent on arm assignment.
In Part C, TN, N-C participants with HCV GT1b and HCV RNA levels of ≥10,000 IU/mL will be randomly assigned to receive open-label grazoprevir (100 mg) in combination with elbasvir (50 mg) ± RBV. Treatment will last 8 weeks.
In Part D, TN N-C participants with HCV GT3 and HCV RNA levels of ≥10,000 IU/mL will be randomly assigned to receive open-label grazoprevir (100 mg) in combination with elbasvir (50 mg) + RBV for 12 or 18 weeks.
