Title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Active-Controlled Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of PSI-7977 and Ribavirin for 12 Weeks Compared to Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin for 24 Weeks in Treatment-Naïve Patients With Chronic Genotype 2 or 3 HCV Infection
Brief Summary: This study was to assess the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir (GS-7977; PSI-7977) in combination with ribavirin (RBV) administered for 12 weeks compared with pegylated interferon (PEG)/RBV administered for 24 weeks in treatment-naive patients with Hepatitis C (HCV) genotype 2 or 3. Efficacy was assessed by the rate of sustained viral response (SVR) 12 weeks after the discontinuation of therapy (SVR12). This was a non-inferiority study, and if non-inferiority was demonstrated, the study was then allowed to test for superiority.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Men and women, ages 18 to 70 years.
* Participants infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1, 2, or 3, with no previous exposure to an interferon formulation (ie, interferon-alpha, pegylated interferon-alpha) ribavirin, or other HCV-specific direct-acting antiviral (including daclatasvir and PSI-7977).
* Patients should have chronic hepatitis C genotype 1a, 1b, 2, or 3 as documented by: positive test results for anti-HCV antibody; HCV RNA; or a HCV genotype at least 6 months prior to screening, and HCV RNA and anti-HCV antibody at the time of screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Evidence of a medical condition associate with chronic liver disease other than HCV.
* History of variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, or ascites requiring management with diuretics or paracentesis.
* History of hemophilia.
* History of torsade de pointes.
* Current or known history of cancer (except in situ carcinoma of the cervix or adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) within 5 years prior to enrollment.
* History of gastrointestinal disease or surgical procedure (except cholecystectomy).
* History of clinically significant cardiac disease.
* Blood transfusion within 4 weeks prior to study drug administration.
* Poor venous access.
* Any other medical, psychiatric, and/or social reason which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the candidate inappropriate for participation in this study.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Chronic Genotype 2 or 3 HCV-infection
* Naive to all HCV antiviral treatment(s)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Positive test at Screening for HBsAg, anti-hepatitis B core immunoglobulin M antibody (anti-HBc IgM Ab), or anti-HIV Ab
* History of any other clinically significant chronic liver disease
* A history consistent with decompensated liver disease
* History or current evidence of psychiatric illness, immunologic disorder, hemoglobinopathy, pulmonary or cardiac disease, seizure disorder or anticonvulsant use, poorly controlled diabetes, cancer, or a history of malignancy, that makes the subject unsuitable for the study.
* Participation in a clinical study within 3 months prior to first dose
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥ 18 years, with chronic genotype 1 HCV infection
* HCV RNA equal to or greater than 10,000 IU/mL at screening
* Cirrhosis determination; a liver biopsy may be required
* 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
* Current or prior history of clinical hepatic decompensation
* Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or other malignancy (with exception of certain resolved skin cancers)
* 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
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Infection with HCV genotype 1, 4, 5, or 6
* Cirrhosis determination
* Subject met the following classifications:

  * Treatment-naive
  * Screening laboratory values within defined thresholds
  * Not treated with any investigational drug or device within 30 days of screening
* Use of highly effective contraception methods if female of childbearing potential or sexually active male

Exclusion Criteria:

* Prior exposure to an direct-acting antiviral targeting the HCV nonstructural protein (NS)5B polymerase
* Pregnant or nursing female, or male with pregnant female partner
* Current or prior history of clinical hepatic decompensation
* History of clinically-significant illness or any other major medical disorder that may have interfered with subject treatment, assessment, or compliance with the protocol
* Excessive alcohol ingestion or significant drug abuse
