Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a study of grazoprevir (MK-5172) + elbasvir (MK-8742) and sofosbuvir (SOF) in treatment-naive participants with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) genotype (GT) 1 or GT3. The objective is to determine the proportion of participants achieving sustained virologic response 12 weeks after ending study treatment (SVR12).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is an open-label, single-center, multiple-arm investigation of a fixed-dose combination \[FDC\] of grazoprevir 100mg + elbasvir 50mg, and SOF 400mg, in treatment-naive participants with chronic HCV GT1 or GT3. The impact of study treatment regimens of varying duration on SVR12 (undetectable HCV ribonucleic acid \[RNA\] 12 weeks after ending study treatment) in cirrhotic (C) participants and non-cirrhotic (NC) participants will be determined (Part A). Any HCV GT1 participant from study Arms 1-4 in Part A who experienced virologic relapse will be offered retreatment consisting of 12 additional weeks of treatment with MK-5172/MK-8742 + SOF + ribavirin and 24 weeks of follow-up in Part B.
