Abstract
Title:
Real World Evidence of the Effectiveness of ABT-450/r – Ombitasvir, ± Dasabuvir, ± Ribavirin in 
Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C –
An Observational Study in Ireland
Rationale and Background:
The interferon-free combination regimen of ABT-450/r – ombitasvir with or without dasabuvir 
(ABBVIE REGIMEN) ± ribavirin (RBV) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has been
shown to be safe and effective in randomized controlled clinical trials with strict inclusion and 
exclusion criteria under well controlled conditions.
The ABBVIE REGIMEN is now available in Ireland for the treatment of CHC.
The rationale for this observational study is to determine how the efficacy and safety of the 
ABBVIE REGIMEN as demonstrated in pivotal trials translates into real world everyday clinical 
settings, which means evaluating its effectiveness. Whereas efficacy can be defined as a 
measure of the capacity of a treatment to produce the desired effect in a controlled 
environment, such as in a randomized controlled trial, effectiveness is the extent to which a drug 
achieves its intended effect in the usual clinical setting. Effectiveness trials typically have limited 
exclusion criteria and will involve the broader patient populations in routine clinical practice and 
per local label which might include patients with heterogenous compliance patterns and patients 
with significant comorbid conditions and could be used to model and disseminate best practices.
Effectiveness research allows for external patient-, provider-, and system-level factors and can 
therefore be more relevant for health-care decisions by both providers in practice and policy-
makers.
This observational study is the first effectiveness research examining the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± 
RBV, used according to local label, under real world conditions in Ireland in a clinical practice 
patient population.
During the last decade when dual therapy with pegylated interferon (pegIFN) plus RBV was 
standard of care for the treatment of CHC, the discovery of predictive factors for virological 
response and the subsequent development of treatment algorithms marked a milestone in 
patient care for CHC. As a consequence, treatment could be effectively targeted to patients 
most likely to respond. Interestingly, many of the now well established predictors of response to 
pegIFN/RBV and first generation direct acting anitvirals (DAAs) in combination with pegIFN/RBV 
were not predictive of outcome in the development trials of the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV. This
observational study may play an important part in bridging the data gaps. It may help identify 
predictive factors of response that are important in real world treatment settings and thus, could
assist in further optimizing treatment with the interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV in the 
future.
The label of the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV will vary according to hepatitis C virus (HCV)
genotype/subtype and stage of liver disease. It is therefore relevant to understand the pattern of 
use and outcome in daily clinical practice. In addition, this study will provide data on the impact 
of adherence on treatment outcomes in everyday settings, which may help treating physicians 
to improve the management of patients under their care.

Data Sources:
Source documents are defined as original documents. The investigator will document patient 
data in his/her own patient files which will serve as source data for the study.
Study Size: 
In phase III studies investigating the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV, SVR12 rates of at least 90% 
were observed, even in difficult-to-treat CHC patients (e.g. cirrhotic G1a treatment-experienced 
patients). To describe in routine clinical practice the effectiveness of the interferon-free ABBVIE 
REGIMEN ± RBV in patients with CHC genotype a precise estimate of the SVR12 rates in the 
core population of this study should be achieved (see below in Data Analysis) for the definition 
of the core population). Assuming that only 100 patients can be enrolled during the planned 
inclusion period of 15 month and considering that about 5% of the patients enrolled might be not
evaluable in the core population, 95 patients will be evaluable. If the SVR12 rate is at least 90%, 
then with 95 evaluable patients the width of the 95% confidence interval (CI) will not be wider 
than 12.2%. If the SVR12 rate is at least 95%, then 95 evaluable patients are sufficient for a 
width of 9.3%.
Data Analysis:
The core population (CP) is defined as all patients of the target population (TP) (definition see
above), who have started the treatment combination recommended in the current local label for

their disease characteristics. Patients not receiving the treatment recommended in the local 
label will be summarized in the non-core population (NCP). In addition, the core population with 
sufficient follow-up data (CPSFU) is defined as all CP patients, who have (i) evaluable HCV

due to reasons related to safety (e.g. dropped out due to adverse event) or incomplete efficacy 
information (e.g. virologic failure such as relapse is reported in the electronic case report form
(eCRF) but date and value of the corresponding HCV RNA test is missing). The safety 
population (SP) is defined as all patients who received at least one dose of the ABBVIE 
REGIMEN.
Descriptive and exploratory statistical methods will be used to analyze the data of the study. All 
baseline and disease characteristics will be summarized for the CP stratified by the CP analysis 
groups (based on genotype 1 subtype, fibrosis status, treatment experienced or naïve), which 
are relevant for scheduled treatment combination (± dasabuvir, ± RBV) and duration (12 or 24
weeks). In addition, baseline summaries will be repeated for the SP and TP without stratification 
into subgroups. Further details of analysis populations and the CP analysis groups will be 
specified in the statistical analysis plan (SAP).
The primary effectiveness analysis will be performed for CP patients, stratified by the CP 
analysis groups. Response rates (i.e. SVR12 rate, end of treatment [EoT] response rate,
relapse rate, viral breakthrough) will be determined for the various CP analysis groups. The 
relapse rates will be estimated in patients of the CP analysis groups with EoT response and 
sufficient HCV RNA measurements post treatment. Viral breakthrough rates will be estimated in 
all patients of the CP analysis groups, who have at least one undetectable HCV RNA 
measurement on treatment and at least one on-treatment or EoT measurement thereafter. For 
all rates specified above 95%-confidence intervals (CIs) will be determined using the Wilson 
Score method.
Univariate logistic regression methods will be used to investigate the impact of various 
explanatory covariates (e.g. demographic and disease characteristics, co-morbidities, type of 
treating institution, and prior treatment for CHC and response outcome in treatment experienced 
patients) on SVR12. These analyses will be of exploratory nature, data driven, and will be 
performed for various CP analysis groups since not each covariate might be predictive in each 
patient group. Logistic regression methods will also be used to investigate the impact of
treatment adherence on SVR12. 
All safety variables will be summarized for patients in the SP using descriptive statistical 
methods stratified by the type of combination treatment and scheduled treatment duration.

Rationale and Background
7.1
Background
Infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is associated with considerable morbidity and 
mortality [1] and is a leading cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular 
carcinoma (HCC), as well as the most common indication for liver transplantation in 
many countries [2]. Around 60-85% of subjects exposed to HCV do not clear the virus 
and go on to develop chronic disease [3] [4]. Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) affects an
estimated 2-3% of the world’s population - equaling approximately 130-210 million
individuals [5] [6]. The prevalence varies markedly from one geographic area to another 
ranging from 0.1-1% in Western Europe to 1-2% in Latin America and up to 4.9% in 
some regions of Eastern Europe [7] [8] [9] [10].
HCV demonstrates a high degree of genetic variability and has been classified into seven
major genotypes (and a large number of subtypes) the distribution of which varies 
globally [11]. Genotypes 1 through 3 are found worldwide; the other genotypes have a 
more restricted distribution, genotype 4 is found predominantly in the Middle East, 
Central Africa, and Egypt; genotype 5 in South Africa; and genotype 6 mainly in Asia. 
HCV genotypes 1a and 1b are the most common forms, accounting for 60% of HCV 
infections worldwide [12] [13] [14] [15].
HCV is primarily transmitted by parenteral exposures to contaminated blood, most 
frequently by injection drug use, exposures in health-care settings and inadequate 
infection-control practices (tattoo, piercing). Occupational, perinatal and sexual exposure 
can also result in transmission of HCV [16] [17]. Since the early 1990’s routine blood
screening protocols have been introduced in most countries and as a consequence 
transmission of the virus is rarely seen following receipt of blood, blood products or 
through organ transplants.
The natural course of CHC leads to progressive fibrosis and can eventually lead to 
cirrhosis of the liver over the course of 20-30 years in approximately 15-30% of infected 
individuals [18]. Once patients become cirrhotic, around 6% per year are expected to 
develop hepatic decompensation (ascites, encephalopathy, variceal hemorrhage, 
hepatorenal syndrome, or hepatic synthetic dysfunction) and around 3% per year will 
develop HCC [19]. Over the same time frame, between 4 and 5% of patients can be 
expected to require liver transplantation or die [19] [20]. Progression is not necessarily a 
linear process and can be accelerated by a number of factors including the age of the 
patient, duration of HCV infection, male gender, alcohol consumption and co-infection 
with other viruses such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus

(HIV) [4] but also by concomitant steatosis and obesity. Comorbid conditions can impact 
CHC treatment eligibility, safety, tolerability and efficacy of therapy [21] [22].
The burden of advanced liver disease varies widely across countries and is dependent 
upon several factors including chronic HCV prevalence and age distribution (and duration 
of infection) of those infected [23]. Due to an aging cohort of patients and an associated 
increase in the incidence of severe liver disease, the burden of CHC will continue to 
increase. In persons 30–49 years of age, the prevalence of the disease is 3–fold higher 
than in other age groups. By 2020, the rates of HCC and liver-related deaths among 
individuals with CHC are expected to increase by 81% and 180%, respectively [24].
The eradication of the virus, defined as the absence of HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) in 
serum (as shown by a sensitive test) at the end of treatment (EoT) and 12-24 weeks later 
(sustained virological response [SVR]), is the therapeutic goal of CHC treatment [25] [26]
[27] and is generally accepted as a virological cure, thus, eventually preventing the 
aforementioned complications [26] [27].
Achieving an SVR was associated with significant reduction in all-cause death compared 
to patients who did not achieve SVR (5-year mortality rate in HCV genotype 1-infected 
patients: 6.7% vs 14.4%, respectively) [28]. In another study the 10-year cumulative all-
cause mortality rate was 8.9% in patients with SVR and 26.0% without SVR (p<0.001), 
the liver-related mortality or transplantation was 1.9% with SVR and 27.4% without SVR
(p<0.001), the rate of HCC was 5.1% with and 21.8% without SVR (p<0.001), and the 
rate of patients experiencing liver failure was 2.1% with and 29.9% (p<0.001) without 
SVR [29]. Patients with SVR following treatment with pegylated interferon (pegIFN) with 
or without RBV have also shown improvement in liver histology and a reduction in liver-
related death in several studies [30] [31] [32]. Moreover, patients with compensated 
cirrhosis who achieve SVR essentially eliminate their subsequent risk of 
decompensation, may achieve histologic regression, and decrease their risk of HCC by 
two-thirds [33] [34] [35].
In the 1980’s and 1990’s interferon alfa was the first drug to show activity against HCV. 
However, the effectiveness of interferon monotherapy in the treatment of CHC infection 
was generally unsatisfactory resulting in an overall SVR rate across genotypes of <20% 
[36] [37]. Combination therapy with interferon plus ribavirin (RBV) improved SVR rates 
but still overall rates across genotypes remained below 50% [38] [39]. Following the 
introduction of long-acting interferons (peginterferon alfa-2a and peginterferon alfa-2b
[i.e. pegIFNs]) in combination with RBV more than a decade ago, further advances have 
been made in efficacy with overall rates of SVR up to 54-63% [39] [40] [41]. SVR rates 
vary substantially by HCV genotype with genotype 1 being the most difficult-to-treat, thus

requiring longer treatment periods to obtain SVR with interferon-based dual therapy. SVR 
rates up to around 50% can be achieved in patients with genotype 1 whereas for 
genotypes 2 and 3 cure rates of up to 80% can be achieved [41].
Treatment with pegIFN and RBV is associated with considerable, often treatment-limiting
toxicities including cytopenias, neuro-psychiatric disorders and influenza-like symptoms.
In 2011 the first direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), specifically the protease inhibitors 
boceprevir and telaprevir, have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for treatment of HCV genotype 1.
These first generation DAAs have significantly improved efficacy with rates of SVR 
reported as high as 63-75% among treatment-naïve HCV genotype 1 individuals [42] [43]
[44]. However, these DAAs must be used in combination with pegIFN and RBV as triple
combination therapy and the tolerability profile is further impaired by additional DAA
specific adverse effects such as rash, pruritus, dysgeusia and anemia [42] [43] [44].
Treatment regimens with these DAAs are rather complicated with the necessity of futility 
rules and a response guided therapy duration of up to 48 weeks in selected patients.
Since 2014 the new standard of care for genotype 1 is pegIFN and RBV combined with 
either the nonstructural protein 3/nonstructural protein 4A (NS3/4A) protease inhibitor 
simeprevir or the nucleotide nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B) polymerase inhibitor 
sofosbuvir [45] [46].
Simeprevir is a NS3/4A protease inhibitor which was approved by the FDA at the end of 
2013 and by the EMA in May 2014. In the phase III studies QUEST 1 and 2 treatment-
naïve patients with genotype 1 yielded SVR rates of 80%, around 90% of these patients 
were eligible for truncated therapy of 24 weeks in a response guided treatment setting 
[47] [48]. Very similar results were reported for patients with prior relapse in the 
PROMISE trial [49]. In the ATTAIN study 771 treatment-experienced partial and null-
responder patients were randomized to either simeprevir plus pegIFN and RBV or 
telaprevir plus pegIFN and RBV. Although efficacy rates were similar (SVR was 55% and
54%, respectively) the safety profile of simeprevir was significantly improved, in particular 
with regards to anemia (13% vs. 37%) and pruritus (31% vs. 43%), while serious adverse 
events (SAEs) were reported by 2% and 9% of patients, respectively [50].
Notably, among patients infected with HCV genotype 1a the presence of a common
Q80K polymorphism (pre-existing resistance-associated variant or not) results in 
significantly reduced response rates and thus, it is recommended that patients infected 
with HCV genotype 1a are screened for this mutation, and if the respective variant is 
present, consideration is given to selecting an alternative therapy [51].

Sofosbuvir acts as an RNA chain terminator within the catalytic site of the NS5B 
polymerase. It was approved by the FDA in December 2013 and by the EMA in January 
2014 for treatment of genotype 1, 4, 5, and 6 along with pegIFN plus RBV and in 
genotype 2 and 3 patients as an interferon-free regimen with RBV only.
In the NEUTRINO phase III trial with sofosbuvir plus pegIFN/RBV in 326 treatment-naïve 
genotype 1, 4, 5 and 6 patients, the overall SVR was 90% (92% in genotype 1a and 82% 
in genotype 1b; 80% in cirrhotic patients) with a tolerability profile similar to pegIFN plus 
RBV. One further advantage of this triple treatment regimen is the treatment duration of 
just 12 weeks [52].
Data on the interferon-free combination of sofosbuvir plus RBV in treatment-naïve 
patients with genotype 1 are only available from small trials and results are somewhat 
inconsistent. When given for a duration of 24 weeks SVR rates of 50-68% have been 
reported and this regimen is currently only recommended for patients who cannot take 
pegIFN [45] [46] [53] [54].
Thus, currently available approved treatment regimens are not optimal for many patients 
and there is a clear unmet need for effective anti-HCV compounds which can increase 
the likelihood of successful treatment and/or decrease the need for pegIFN as 
components of CHC therapy, ideally with shorter treatment duration.
Combinations of multiple DAAs targeting different steps of viral replication have the 
potential to significantly improve CHC treatment compared to current therapies by 
increasing SVR rates, eliminating interferon as a component of therapy, increasing the 
safety and tolerability of treatment, shortening duration of therapy and simplifying the 
treatment algorithm. In addition, wider application of DAA therapy and better responses 
with combination DAA regimens could significantly reduce the public health burden of this 
disease.
AbbVie's interferon-free regimen for the treatment of CHC includes 3 DAAs targeting 
different steps in HCV replication. ABT-450 is a NS3/4A protease inhibitor with 
nanomolar potency in vitro and is co-administered with low-dose ritonavir, an inhibitor of 
the cytochrome P-450 enzyme CYP3A4. As a pharmacologic enhancer of ABT-450,
ritonavir co-administration with ABT-450 (ABT-450/r) results in higher drug exposures 
than administration of ABT-450 alone [55]. Ombitasvir (ABT-267) is a nonstructural 
protein 5A (NS5A) inhibitor with picomolar potency in vitro, and dasabuvir (ABT-333) is a 
NS5B non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitor with nanomolar potency in vitro.
The 3 DAA combination of ABT-450/r – ombitasvir plus dasabuvir with or without RBV 
has been initially evaluated in 6 Phase III studies with genotype 1 infected patients

Therapy for 12 weeks with the above regimen in non-cirrhotic patients resulted in the 
following SVR rates 12 weeks after EoT (SVR12):

These results suggest that the ABBVIE REGIMEN with RBV is the optimal regimen for 
genotype 1a infected patients, while patients with genotype 1b do not require RBV.
The TURQUOISE-II [60] study explored the efficacy of the ABBVIE REGIMEN in the 
traditionally most difficult-to-treat cirrhotic patients. This large study enrolled exclusively
genotype 1 infected patients with cirrhosis, including treatment-naïve and treatment-
experienced individuals. All patients received the ABBVIE REGIMEN with RBV and were 
randomized to 12 or 24 weeks of therapy. Overall 92% and 96% of patients achieved 
SVR following treatment for 12 or 24 weeks, respectively. Analysis of subgroups 
demonstrated that the small difference in SVR between treatment arms was due largely 
to the subgroup of genotype 1a treatment-experienced prior null responders treated for 
12 weeks who achieved an SVR of 80%. This subgroup of patients achieved an SVR of 
93% when treated for 24 weeks. Among genotype 1a infected patients, partial 
responders and relapsers had higher SVR rates than null responders in the 12 week 
treatment group, while similar SVR rates were seen among the null responders, partial 
responders and relapsers treated for 24 weeks, suggesting that the longer duration of 24 
weeks is required only for cirrhotic genotype 1a null responders. SVR rates were very 
high across all subgroups in genotype 1b treatment-experienced patients treated for 12 
and 24 weeks.

The ABBVIE REGIMEN has been studied with and without RBV in over 2,300 patients in 
Phase III trials across a variety of patient populations including those with compensated 
cirrhosis. Based on Phase III data, the ABBVIE REGIMEN, with or without RBV, was well 
tolerated with a low discontinuation rate. Adverse events (AEs) were typically mild, and 
many of the AEs and laboratory abnormalities reported were attributable to the presence 
of RBV. However, these AEs were much milder than observed when RBV was given in 
combination with interferon. Transient, asymptomatic serum alanine aminotransferase 
(ALT) elevations were observed at a low rate, were not associated with hepatic 
dysfunction and generally resolved with ongoing treatment. A disproportionate number of 
the cases were in women on concurrent ethinyl estradiol-containing therapy (i.e., 
contraceptives or hormone replacement) and discontinuation of the hormonal therapy 
with continuation or brief interruption of the ABBVIE REGIMEN led to resolution in serum 
ALT elevation. Transient elevations in serum bilirubin (predominantly indirect) were 
observed in subjects receiving the ABBVIE REGIMEN with RBV, related to the inhibition 
of the bilirubin transporters, organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) 1B1/1B3,
by ABT-450 and RBV-induced hemolysis. Bilirubin elevations occurred after initiation of 
treatment, peaked by study Week 1, and generally resolved with ongoing therapy. 
Bilirubin elevations were not associated with aminotransferase elevations. The frequency 
of indirect bilirubin elevations was lower among subjects who did not receive RBV.
Response of CHC genotype 4 was assessed in the phase II study PEARL-I in which 86 
treatment-QDƯYH patients were randomized to the 2 DAA combination of ABT-450/r –
ombitasvir with vs. without RBV for 12 weeks. The SVR was 100% with RBV vs. 91% 
without RBV [61]. No serious SAEs or AEs leading to discontinuation were reported.
These results from pivotal studies are encouraging and the new interferon-free regimens 
might provide physicians with the armamentarium to cure the vast majority of patients 
infected with CHC. However, the medical community is expecting data which show how
these results translate into routine clinical practice particularly after the experience with 
the first protease inhibitors which were available to physicians and where the outcome in 
everyday life and especially the tolerability was far less favorable in certain difficult-to-
treat patient subgroups than expected from the development trials [62] [63].
7.2
Rationale
The ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV for the treatment of CHC has been shown to be safe and 
effective in randomized controlled clinical trials with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria 
under well controlled conditions. 
The ABBVIE REGIMEN is now available in Ireland for the treatment of CHC.

Page 21 of 67
The rationale for this observational study is to determine how the efficacy and safety of 
the ABBVIE REGIMEN as demonstrated in pivotal trials translates into real world
everyday clinical settings, evaluating its effectiveness. Whereas efficacy can be defined 
as a measure of the capacity of a treatment to produce the desired effect in a controlled 
environment, such as in a randomized controlled trial, effectiveness is ‘the extent to 
which a drug achieves its intended effect in the usual clinical setting’ [64]. Effectiveness 
trials typically have limited exclusion criteria and will involve the broader patient 
populations in routine clinical practice, treated per local label, which might include 
patients with heterogenous compliance patterns and patients with significant comorbid 
conditions and could be used to model and disseminate best practices. Effectiveness 
research allows for external patient-, provider-, and system-level factors and can 
therefore be relevant for health-care decisions by both providers in practice and policy-
makers [65].
This observational study is the first effectiveness research examining the ABBVIE 
REGIMEN ± RBV, used according to local label, under real world conditions in Ireland in 
clinical practice patient population.
During the last decade when dual therapy with pegIFN plus RBV was standard of care for 
the treatment of CHC, management of patients and clinical outcome were improved 
following the discovery of predictive factors of virological response, often in observational 
studies with large data bases [66]. Thus treatment could be targeted to patients most 
likely to respond and futile treatment stopped in patients with a low likelihood of 
virological cure. HCV genotype and subtype, baseline viral load, fibrosis stage, age, 
treatment exposure and on-treatment virological response proved to be useful predictors 
for the eradication of HCV in everyday clinical practice [27]. More recently the discovery 
of a genetic disposition of the Interleukin 28B (IL28B) single nucleotide polymorphism 
(SNP) contributed further to our understanding of virological responses to treatment [67].
For new interferon-free treatment regimens knowledge of predictive factors of virological 
response is extremely sparse and several of the now well established predictors of 
response were not initially identified through analyses of the development trials. This
observational study may play an important part in bridging the data gaps and could help 
identify predictive factors of virological response in everyday clinical settings which were 
not detected in interventional trials and which could be used to further optimize treatment 
with the interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN in the future.
The label of the ABBVIE REGIMEN will vary according to HCV genotype/subtype and 
stage of liver disease. It is therefore relevant to understand the pattern of use and 
outcome in daily clinical practice. In addition, this study will provide data on the impact of

adherence on treatment outcomes in everyday settings, which may help treating 
physicians to improve the management of patients under their care.
The aim of this observational study is to provide evidence of the effectiveness and patient 
reported outcome (PRO) of the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV in a real world setting across
clinical practice patient populations.

Research Methods
9.1
Study Design
This is a prospective, multi-center observational study in patients receiving the interferon-
free ABBVIE REGIMEN with or without RBV. The prescription of a treatment regimen is 
at the discretion of the physician in accordance with local clinical practice and label, is 
made independently from this observational study and precedes the decision to offer the 
patient the opportunity to participate in this study. 
Adult patients chronically infected with HCV, receiving the interferon-free ABBVIE 
REGIMEN will be offered the opportunity to participate in this study during a routine 
clinical visit at the participating sites.
After written informed consent has been obtained, patient data including demographic 
data, HCV disease characteristics, co-morbidities, co-medication, treatment details, and
laboratory assessments as recorded in the patient's medical records (source 
documentation) will be documented in the electronic case report form (eCRF). Patients
will be observed for the duration of the ABBVIE REGIMEN therapy and for up to 24 
weeks after treatment completion. No patient identifiable information will be captured, a 
unique patient number will be automatically allocated by the web based eCRF system
once the investigator or designee creates a new patient file.
This study is focusing on collecting real-world data. Follow-up visits, treatment, 
procedures and diagnostic methods will follow physicians’ routine clinical practice. The 
observational study period entails the following data collection schemes, data 
documented will be those closest to the time windows as indicated in Figure 1:
x
12-week treatment regimen: four visits plus two interim data collection windows
x
24-week treatment regimen: four visits plus three interim data collection windows
This schedule is based on the anticipated regular follow-up for patients undergoing 
treatment for CHC.

9.2.2
Study Duration
This is a prospective, observational study. The inclusion period will be approximately 15
months or until the defined patient number has been recruited and the observational 
period of the study will be from baseline visit until 24 weeks post-treatment.
The observational period for patients receiving 12 weeks of ABBVIE REGIMEN will be 
max. 36 weeks (12 weeks treatment and 24 weeks post-treatment observation) and for
patients receiving 24 weeks of ABBVIE REGIMEN the observational period will be max. 
48 weeks (24 weeks treatment and 24 weeks post-treatment observation).
9.2.3
Termination Criteria
For patients who terminate the ABBVIE REGIMEN prematurely for whatever reason the 
EoT eCRF page should be filled in and the reason for treatment discontinuation should 
be documented. If the reason for ABBVIE REGIMEN discontinuation is due to an SAE,
the event must be reported to AbbVie within 24 hours of physician awareness (see 
Section 11.5).
If, in such patients, there is evidence of virological response during therapy or at EoT, the 
SVR12 and SVR24 pages should be completed if respective data is available. 
9.2.4
Investigator Selection Criteria
University centers and outpatient clinics qualified by training and experience in the 
management of patients with CHC will be selected to participate in this study. The 
AbbVie Affiliate Medical Director will ensure that sites participating in the study are 
representative of the medical practice in the country, have the ability to conduct the study 
and their availability of the target patient population. The type of the participating treating 
institute will be documented in the eCRF.

Standardized Assessment Tools
This study will assess quality of life and work productivity using PRO instruments: EQ-
5D-5L and SF-36.
Assessment of general quality of life - EQ-5D-5L
The EQ-5D-5L is a health state utility instrument that evaluates preference for health 
status (utility). The 5 items in the EQ-5D-5L comprise 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, 
usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) each of which are rated on 5 
levels of severity. Responses to the 5 items encode a discrete health state which is

mapped to a preference (utility) specific for different societies. Patients also rate their 
perception of their overall health on a separate visual analogue scale (VAS). 
The EQ-5D-5L should require approximately 5 minutes to complete and is presented in 
Annex 1.
Short Form 36 – Version 2 Health Survey (SF-36v2)
The SF-36v2 is a non-disease specific Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) instrument 
with extensive use in multiple disease states. The SF-36v2 instrument comprises 36 total 
items (questions) targeting a subject's functional health and well-being in 8 domains 
(physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning,
role emotional and mental health) with a recall period of 4 weeks.
Domain scores are aggregated into a Physical Component Summary score and a Mental
Component Summary score. Higher SF-36v2 scores indicate a better state of health.
Completion of the SF-36v2 should require approximately 10 minutes.
PRO data are not considered a potential source of adverse reactions. However, 
participating sites should review the PRO data and if a possible product-related event 
(including a suspected adverse reaction) is noted, the health care provider (HCP) must 
determine whether the event is related to ABT-450/r – ombitasvir ± dasabuvir (or any 
other AbbVie authorized product) and if so, it should be reported to AbbVie. The relevant 
AbbVie Pharmacovigilance contact details are specified in Section 11.0.
Patient Activation Measure – (PAM-13)
PAM 13 is a measure used to assess the patient knowledge, skill, and confidence for 
self-management. It should require approximately 7 minutes to complete and is 
presented in Annex 3.
Patient Support Program (PSP) Questionnaire
The PSP utilization and satisfaction assessment will evaluate the frequency of utilization 
and patient’s overall satisfaction with their respective Patient Support Program.
The PSP questionnaire should require approximately 2-5 minutes to complete and is 
presented in Annex 5-6.

Study Size
In phase III studies investigating the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV, SVR12 rates of at least 
90% were observed, even in difficult-to-treat CHC patients (e.g. cirrhotic G1a treatment-
experienced patients). To describe in routine clinical practice the effectiveness of the 
interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV in patients with CHC genotype a precise 
estimate of the SVR12 rates in the core population of this study should be achieved (see 
Section 9.7.1 for the definition of the core population). Assuming that only 100 patients 
can be enrolled during the planned inclusion period of 15 month and considering that 
about 5% of the patients enrolled might be not evaluable in the core population, 95 
patients will be evaluable. If the SVR12 rate is at least 90%, then with 95 evaluable 
patients the width of the 95% confidence interval (CI) will not be wider than 12.2%. If the 
SVR12 rate is at least 95%, then 95 evaluable patients are sufficient for a width of 9.3%.
The width of the 95% CI will be slightly larger, if only 90 patients will be evaluable for the 
core population (see Table 3).

Data Management
9.6.1
Electronic Case Report Forms
Data for this study will be recorded in English by each participating center via an 
electronic data capture (EDC) system using a web-based eCRF. Examinations, 
diagnostic measures, laboratory assessments, findings and observations routinely 
performed in patients with CHC included in this cohort, will be transcribed by the 
investigator or designee from the source documents into the eCRF. Only data specified 
in the protocol will be entered into the eCRF. For each enrolled patient, the investigator 
or designee will create a new patient file in the eCRF and a unique patient number will be 
automatically allocated by the system.
A comprehensive data validation program utilizing front-end checks in the eCRF will 
validate the data. Automated checks for data consistency will be implemented, 
discrepancies need to be solved by the researcher in the eCRF before the module can 
be completed. 
Follow-up on eCRF data for medical plausibility will be done by AbbVie personnel (or 
their representatives). Queries will be generated in the eCRF for online resolution at the 
site. The investigator or an authorized member of the investigator's staff will make any 
necessary data corrections to the eCRF. All change information, including the date and 
person performing the corrections, will be available via the audit trail, which is part of the 
EDC system. The principal investigator of each site will finally review the eCRFs for 
completeness and accuracy of available data and provide his or her electronic signature 
and date to the eCRFs as evidence thereof.
Access to the EDC system will be provided for the duration of the study through a 
password-protected method of internet access. Such access will be removed from 
investigator sites at the end of the site's participation in the study. Data from the EDC

Data Analysis
9.7.1
Analysis Population, Time Windows and Handling of Missing 
Data 
The target population (TP) is defined as all patients who fulfill the criteria specified in 
Section 9.2.1. The core population (CP) is defined as all patients of the TP, who have 
started the treatment combination recommended in the current local label for their 
disease characteristics. Patients not receiving the treatment recommended in the local 
label will be summarized in the non-core population (NCP). In addition, the core 
population with sufficient follow-up data (CPSFU) is defined as all CP patients, who fulfil 
one of the following criteria:

to reasons related to safety (e.g. dropped out due to AE) or incomplete efficacy
information (e.g. virologic failure such as relapse is reported in the eCRF but date 
and value of the corresponding HCV RNA test is missing). This means only 
patients who had virological response at their last on-treatment or post-treatment 
measurement, buWKDGQR+&951$PHDVXUHPHQWV70 days post-treatment for 
reasons not related to safety or effectiveness (e.g. lost-to-follow-up or patient not 
willing to perform an additional HCV RNA test 70 days post-treatment) will be 
excluded from this analysis.
The Safety Population (SP) is defined as all patients who received at least one dose of 
the ABBVIE REGIMEN.
In accordance with the non-interventional nature of the study all HCV RNA 
measurements will be performed at the sole discretion of the physician and all HCV RNA 
measurements have to be entered into the eCRF. All recorded HCV RNA values will be 
assigned to appropriate time points (baseline, on-treatment visits, EoT visit, post-
treatment visits). The time windows for the assignments will be specified in the statistical 
analysis plan (SAP).
No data will be imputed for any effectiveness or safety analyses except for the analyses 
of the HCV RNA endpoints. When there is no HCV RNA value in a visit time window 
post-baseline, but prior to EoT, the closest values before and after the window, 
regardless of the value chosen for the subsequent and preceding window, will be used 
for the flanking imputation described below. If a patient has a missing HCV RNA value at 
a post-baseline visit prior to EoT but has undetectable HCV RNA (with LLoD 50 IU/mL) 
or unquantifiable, but detectable HCV RNA levels (with LLoQ 50 IU/mL) at both the 
preceding and succeeding measurements, the HCV RNA level will be considered 
undetectable or unquantifiable, respectively, at this visit for this patient. In addition, if a 
patient has an unquantifiable HCV RNA level at the preceding measurement and an 
undetectable HCV RNA level at the succeeding measurement, or vice versa, the HCV 
RNA level will be imputed as unquantifiable at this visit for this patient. For virological 
response at EoT a corresponding backward imputation approach will be applied. This 
means if HCV RNA is missing at EoT, then unquantifiable or undetectable will be 
assumed for EoT, if the succeeding HCV RNA value is undetectable or unquantifiable. 
For SVR12 the single last available HCV RNA mHDVXUHPHQW70 days post-treatment will 
be used. Subsequent to this flanking and backward imputation, if the HCV RNA value 
remains missing at a specific time point, then the patients will considered as virological 
failure at this time point (i.e. not undetectable or unquantifiable).

Demographics and Disease Characteristics 
All baseline and disease characteristics will be summarized for the CP stratified by the 
CP analysis groups (i.e. based on genotype 1 subtype, fibrosis status, treatment 
experienced or QDƯYH), which are relevant for scheduled treatment combination (ABBVIE 
REGIMEN ± RBV) and duration (12 and 24 weeks). In addition, baseline summaries will 
be repeated for the SP and the TP without stratification into subgroups. Summary 
statistics (n, mean, median, standard deviation [SD], and range) will be generated for 
continuous variables (e.g. age and body mass index [BMI]). The number and percentage 
of patients will be presented for categorical variables (e.g. gender and race). Further 
details of analysis populations and the CP analysis groups will be specified in the SAP, 
taking into account the ABBVIE REGIMEN recommended in the current local label for 
various patient groups.
9.7.3
Effectiveness Analysis
The primary effectivenessanalysis on clinical outcomes will be performed on all patients 
in the CP stratified by the CP analysis groups. Due to the non-interventional nature of this 
study several different methods for determination of the HCV RNA value can be applied.

Statistical Methods for Analysis of Effectiveness Variables
The simple percentage of patients achieving SVR12 will be calculated and an exact two-
sided 95% confidence interval (CI) of the percentage will be computed based on the
Wilson Score method.
Corresponding methods will be used for other response rates (EoT response rate,
relapse rate, viral breakthrough). The relapse rates will be estimated in patients of the CP
analysis groups with EoT response and sufficient HCV RNA measurements post-
treatment. Viral breakthrough rates will be estimated in all patients of the CP analysis 
groups, who have at least one undetectable HCV RNA measurement on-treatment and at 
least one on-treatment or EoT measurement thereafter. 
Univariate logistic regression methods will be used to investigate the impact of the 
following explanatory covariates on SVR12:
x
Key demographic information
x
Mode of CHC infection
x
HCV RNA level at baseline

activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) each of which are rated on 5 levels of 
severity (1: indicating no problem, 2: indicating slight problems, 3: indicating moderate 
problems, 4: indicating severe problems, 5: indicating extreme problems), and a separate 
VAS.
Patients’ responses to the EQ-5D-5L will be combined into a unique health state using a 
5-digit code with one digit from each of the 5 dimensions representing the level of 
severity. These EQ-5D-5L states will be converted into a single preference-weighted 
health utility index score by applying country-specific weights (if available) or US weights 
(if not available).
No imputation will be performed for missing items, and in case of missing items no index 
score will be calculated. 
A summary table will show descriptive statistics (n, mean, median, SD, minimum and 
maximum) of the index score values and for the VAS values for baseline and the post-
baseline time points, as well as changes from baseline both for the index score values 
and for the VAS values. 
The SF-36v2 is a non-disease specific Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) instrument 
with extensive use in multiple disease states. The SF-36v2 instrument comprises 36 total 
items (questions) targeting a subject's functional health and well-being in 8 domains 
(physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, 
role emotional and mental health) with a recall period of 4 weeks. Domain scores are 
aggregated into a Physical Component Summary score and a Mental Component 
Summary score. Higher SF-36v2 scores indicate a better state of health.
Completion of the SF-36v2 should require approximately 10 minutes.
9.7.6
Tolerability Analysis
All tolerability variables will be summarized using descriptive statistical methods for the 
SP stratified by type of combination treatment and scheduled treatment duration.
All SAEs, non-serious AEs and pregnancy occurrences are to be reported for patients
included in the study (see Section 11.0 and 9.2.3). AEs will be coded using MedDRA. 
The number and percentage of patients with treatment-emergent AEs (i.e. any reported 
event that begins or worsens in severity after initiation of study drug through 30 days 
post-study drug dosing) will be tabulated by primary MedDRA SOC and PT. 
Corresponding summary tables will be provided for all serious treatment-emergent AEs.

The tabulation of the number of patients with treatment-emergent AEs by severity and
relationship to study drug will also be provided. Patients reporting more than one AE for a 
given MedDRA PT will be counted only once for that term using the most severe incident 
for the severity summary table and the most related for the relationship summary table. 
Patients reporting more than one type of event within a SOC will be counted only once 
for that SOC.
Additional details of the analysis of AEs will be specified in the SAP. 
9.7.7
Interim Assessments
One interim assessment is planned for March 2016. The interim analyses will be 
performed when all patients are enrolled and the data are sufficiently cleaned.
9.8
Quality Control
The sites will be instructed in the protocol, the functionality and handling of the eCRF,
and the requirement to maintain source documents for each patient in the study (see 
Section 9.4).
A comprehensive data validation program utilizing front-end checks in the eCRF will 
validate the data. Automated checks for data consistency will be implemented, 
discrepancies need to be solved by the researcher in the eCRF before the module can 
be completed. Follow-up on eCRF data for medical plausibility will be done by AbbVie 
personnel (or their representatives). The principal investigator of each site will finally 
review the eCRFs for completeness and accuracy of available data and provide his or 
her electronic signature and date to eCRFs as evidence thereof.
Continuous monitoring of the study and frequent site telephone contacts will be done by 
AbbVie or a CRO working on behalf of AbbVie.
9.9
Limitations of the Research Methods
The limitations of observational studies, such as uncontrolled confounding by lack of 
randomization, and difficulties to clearly interpret treatment effects in the context of 
missing data are well known. Their validity can be increased by accurate outcome 
measurements, documentation of the most common confounders, sufficient length of

follow-up and by activities to obtain complete recording of available data as well as by 
searches for missing key data. 
The most important outcome measure in this study is HCV RNA. Missing or unrecorded 
follow-up HCV RNA data can in particular lead to an underestimation of the real SVR rate 
as compared to the SVR rate of interventional trials. Highly sensitive and quantitative 
diagnostic tests are required to measure HCV RNA levels in blood. In an observational 
study each center will be using its own test – either commercially available or so-called
“home-brew” tests – which might change from one visit to the next within a patient data 
set. The challenge is to accurately and consistently document test properties such as the
LLoD and the LLoQ to put the results into perspective of prior outcomes from randomized 
controlled trials with (usually) central laboratory assessments for all trial participants.

Protection of Human Subjects
This observational study will be run in compliance with local laws and regulations. 
Notification/submission to the responsible regulatory authorities, Ethics Committee (EC) 
and/or Competent Authorities (CAs) will be done as required by local laws and 
regulations.
The investigator is responsible to ensure that written informed consent will be obtained 
prior to patient inclusion.
To maintain patient confidentiality, no demographic data that can identify the patient will 
be collected (e.g. initials, date of birth) - only the patient age will be collected. In order to 
protect patient identity, a unique number will be assigned to each patient and related 
study recording.

(including a suspected adverse reaction) is noted, the HCP must determine whether the 
event is related to the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV (or any other AbbVie authorized 
product) and if so, it should be reported to AbbVie. 
Medication errors (this refers to any unintentional error in the prescribing, dispensing, or 
administration of a medicinal product while in control of the HCP, patient or consumer) 
should be reported by the HCP to AbbVie.
The relevant AbbVie Pharmacovigilance contact details are specified below:

11.1.1
Adverse Event Definition and Serious Adverse Event 
Categories
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient, which 
does not necessarily have a causal relationship with their treatment. An AE can therefore 
be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), 
symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether 
or not the event is considered causally related to the use of the product.
Such an event can result from use of the drug as stipulated in the labeling, as well as 
from accidental or intentional overdose, drug abuse, or drug withdrawal. Any worsening 
of a pre-existing condition or illness is considered an AE.
If an AE meets any of the following criteria, it is considered a serious adverse event 
(SAE):
Death of Patient:
An event that results in the death of a patient.
Life-Threatening:
An event that, in the opinion of the investigator, would 
have resulted in immediate fatality if medical 
intervention had not been taken. This does not 
include an event that would have been fatal if it had 
occurred in a more severe form.
Hospitalization:
An event that results in an admission to the hospital 
for any length of time. This does not include an 
emergency room visit or admission to an outpatient 
facility.
Prolongation of 
Hospitalization:
An event that occurs while the study patient is 
hospitalized and prolongs the patient's hospital stay.
Congenital Anomaly:
An anomaly detected at or after birth, or any anomaly 
that results in fetal loss.
Persistent or Significant 
Disability/Incapacity:
An event that results in a condition that substantially 
interferes with the activities of daily living of a study 
patient.
Disability is not intended to include 
experiences of relatively minor medical significance 
such as headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, 
influenza, and accidental trauma (e.g. sprained 
ankle).
Important Medical Event 
An important medical event that may not be

Requiring Medical or 
Surgical Intervention to 
Prevent Serious Outcome:
immediately life-threatening or result in death or 
hospitalization, but based on medical judgment may 
jeopardize the patient and may require medical or 
surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes 
listed above (i.e. death of patient, life threatening, 
hospitalization, 
prolongation 
of 
hospitalization, 
congenital anomaly, or persistent or significant 
disability/incapacity). Additionally, any elective or 
spontaneous abortion or stillbirth is considered an 
important medical event. Examples of such events 
include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood 
dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in 
inpatient hospitalization, or the development of drug 
dependency or drug abuse.
11.1.2
Severity
The following definitions will be used to rate the severity for any AE being collected as an 
endpoint/data point in the study and for all SAEs.
Mild:
The AE is transient and easily tolerated by the patient.
Moderate:
The AE causes the patient discomfort and interrupts the patient's 
usual activities.
Severe:
The AE causes considerable interference with the patient's usual 
activities and may be incapacitating or life threatening.
11.1.3
Relationship to Pharmaceutical Product
The following definitions will be used to assess the relationship of the AE to the use of 
product:
Reasonable Possibility
An AE where there is evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship between the product and the AE.
No Reasonable 
Possibility
An AE where there is no evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship between the product and the AE.

Page 50 of 67
If no reasonable possibility of being related to product is given, an alternate etiology must 
be provided for the AE.
11.1.4
Serious Adverse Event Collection Period
SAEs will be reported to AbbVie from the time the physician obtains the patient's 
informed consent until 30 days or 5 half-lives following the intake of the last dose of
physician-prescribed treatment.
11.1.5
Serious and non-serious Adverse Event Reporting
In the event of an SAE, the physician will:
Ɣ
For events from patients using the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV (or any other 
AbbVie authorized product) report to AbbVie within 24 hours of the physician 
becoming aware of the event by using the eCRF system or notifying the 
AbbVie contact person identified in Section 11.0.
Ɣ
For events from patients using a non-AbbVie product - notify the Marketing 
Authorization Holder (MAH) of the product within 24 hours of the physician 
becoming aware of the event.
In the event of a non-serious AE, the physician will: 
Ɣ
For events from patients using the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV report to AbbVie 
by using the eCRF system. 
11.1.6
Pregnancy Reporting
Patients and their partners should avoid pregnancy and males should avoid sperm 
donation throughout the course of the HCV treatment and for 30 days after the end of 
treatment with DAAs only, or for 7 months after the last dose of RBV (or per local RBV 
label) and/or consistent with local treatment guidelines for RBV.
In the event of a pregnancy occurrence in the patient, the physician will report to AbbVie 
within 24 hours of the physician becoming aware of the pregnancy by using the eCRF 
system or notifying the AbbVie contact person identified in Section 11.0.
The investigator is encouraged to report the pregnancy information to the voluntary RBV 
Pregnancy Registry, if RBV is included within the regimen.

Management and reporting of Product Complaints
11.2.1
Definition 
A Product Complaint is any Complaint (see Section 11.0 for the definition) related to the drug 
or drug component of the product or to the medical device component(s).
For a product this may include, but is not limited to, damaged/broken product or packaging, 
product appearance whose color/markings do not match the labeling, labeling 
discrepancies/inadequacies in the labeling/instructions (example:  printing illegible), missing 
components/product, device not working properly, or packaging issues.
11.2.2 
 Reporting 
The relevant AbbVie Product Complaint contact details are specified below:
Product Complaints concerning the ABBVIE REGIMEN must be reported to the Sponsor 
within 24 hours of the study site's knowledge of the event via local Product Complaint 
reporting practices.  Product Complaints occurring during the study will be followed-up to a 
satisfactory conclusion.  All follow-up information is to be reported to the Sponsor (or an 
authorized representative) and documented in source as required by the Sponsor.  Product 
Complaints associated with adverse events will be reported in the study summary.  All other 
complaints will be monitored on an ongoing basis.
Product complaints involving a non-Sponsor investigational product and/or device should be 
reported to the identified contact or manufacturer, as necessary per local regulations.
Product Complaints may require return of the product with the alleged complaint condition.  
In instances where a return is requested, every effort should be made by the investigator to
