Title: A Phase II/III Randomized Clinical Trial to Study the Efficacy and Safety of the Combination Regimen of MK-5172 and MK-8742 in Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection and Chronic Kidney Disease
Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination treatment with grazoprevir (MK-5172) + elbasvir (MK-8742) for cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic participants with chronic Genotype 1 (GT1) hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The primary study hypothesis is that the proportion of HCV GT1-infected CKD participants within the Immediate Treatment and Intensive Pharmacokinetics (PK) groups achieving a sustained viral response 12 weeks after the end of all study treatment (SVR12) will be \>45%.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Documented chronic (at least 6 months) HCV GT 1 infection (with no evidence of mixed genotypes or genotype that cannot be assigned a type)
* Evidence or no evidence of liver cirrhosis based on one of the following:
* Liver biopsy performed within 24 months of Day 1 (if participant is cirrhotic then there is no time restriction on biopsy)
* Fibroscan performed within 12 months of Day 1 of this study
* Fibrosure™ (Fibrotest™) plus aspartate aminotransferase to platelet Ratio Index \[APRI\] obtained during the screening period)
* Has HCV status that is one of the following:
* Treatment naïve
* Prior interferon or pegylated interferon with or without ribavarin failures (null responder, partial responder, or relapser)
* Intolerant to prior interferon or pegylated intereferon with or without ribavarin regimen
* Chronic kidney disease (defined as glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] \<=29) non-dialysis dependent or on hemodialysis for at least 3 months, including individuals awaiting kidney transplant and those with failed kidney transplants but no longer on immunosuppressant therapy)
* Female participant of reproductive potential must agree to remain abstinent or use (or have their partner use) 2 acceptable methods of contraception from at least 2 weeks prior to Day 1 through 14 days after the last dose of study drugs, or longer if dictated by local regulations

Exclusion Criteria:

* Evidence of decompensated liver disease
* On peritoneal dialysis for management of kidney disease
* Co-infection with hepatitis B virus or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
* History of malignancy \<=5 years prior to signing informed consent
* Clinical diagnosis of substance abuse
* Pregnant, breast-feeding, expecting to conceive or donate eggs, or donate sperm from Day 1 through 14 days after the last study dose, or longer if dictated by local regulations
* Organ transplant (including hematopoietic stem cell transplant) other than kidney, cornea, and hair
* Conditions requiring, or likely to require, chronic systemic administration of corticosteroids during the course of the trial
* Uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension
* Significant cardiovascular disorder (e.g. myocardial infarction or unstable angina) or cardiovascular procedure within 3 months prior to signing informed consent
* New or worsening signs or symptoms of congestive heart failure within 3 months of signing informed consent
* Severe active peripheral vascular disease
* Recent (within 3 months prior to signing informed consent) episode or recurrence of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) or neurological disorder, including but not limited to seizures
* Evidence or history of chronic hepatitis not caused by HCV
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Females must be post-menopausal for at least 2 years or surgically sterile or practicing specific forms of birth control
* Chronic hepatitis C, genotype 1-infection and HCV RNA level greater than 10,000 IU/mL at screening
* Subject has never received antiviral treatment for hepatitis C infection
* No evidence of liver cirrhosis

Exclusion Criteria:

* Positive screen for drugs or alcohol
* Significant sensitivity to any drug
* Use of contraindicated medications within 2 weeks of dosing
* Certain predefined abnormal laboratory tests
* Positive hepatitis B surface antigen or anti-human immunodeficiency virus antibody
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient has chronic Genotype 1 Hepatitis C infection

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subject has been previously treated for HCV
* Has Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
* Has Hepatitis B
* Has a history of clinically significant medical condition that may interfere with the study (e.g., stroke or chronic seizures or major neurological disorder) or is contraindicated for treatment with peg-IFN and Ribavirin
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age \> 18, with chronic genotype 1 HCV infection
* HCV treatment-naive
* HCV RNA \> 10,000 IU/mL at screening
* Screening laboratory values within defined thresholds
* Use of two effective contraception methods if female of childbearing potential or sexually active male

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pregnant or nursing female or male with pregnant female partner
* Presence of cirrhosis
* Coinfection with HIV or hepatitis B virus (HBV)
* Current or prior history of clinical hepatic decompensation
* Chronic use of systemic immunosuppressive agents
* History of clinically significant illness or any other medical disorder that may interfere with subject treatment, assessment or compliance with the protocol
