             than 6 months.

          4. HCV RNA plasma ≥ 10,000 IU/ml at screening.

          5. HCV genotype 1-6.

          6. HCV treatment naïve (no prior treatment with an approved or investigation anti-HCV
             medication).

          7. Stage F0-3, based on: hepatic elastography <12.5 kPa on Fibroscan® or APRI <1.0.

          8. If co-infection with HIV is documented, the subject must meet the following criteria:

               -  ART naïve with CD4 T cell count >500 cells/mm3; OR

               -  On a stable ART regimen (containing only permissible ART - see protocol section
                  3.2) for >8 weeks prior to screening visit, with CD4 T cell count >200 cells/mm3
                  and a plasma HIV RNA level below the limit of detection.

          9. Negative pregnancy test at screening and baseline (females of childbearing potential
             only).

         10. All fertile females must be using effective contraception during treatment and during
             the 30 days after treatment end.

               1. Clinically significant illness (other than HCV) or any other major medical
                  disorder that may interfere with the participant treatment, assessment or
                  compliance with the protocol; participants currently under evaluation for a
                  potentially clinically significant illness (other than HCV) are also excluded.

               2. Clinical hepatic decompensation (i.e. ascites, encephalopathy or variceal
                  haemorrhage).

               3. Solid organ transplant.

               4. History of severe, life-threatening or other significant sensitivity to any
                  excipients of the study drugs.

          2. Any of the following lab parameters at screening:

               1. ALT > 10 x ULN

               2. AST > 10 x ULN

               3. Direct bilirubin > ULN

               4. Platelets < 90,000/μL (cells/mm3) if Fibroscan® <12.5 kPa OR < 150,000/μL
                  (cells/mm3) if Fibroscan® is unavailable and patient is included with APRI <1

               5. Creatinine clearance (CLcr) < 50 mL/min

               6. Haemoglobin < 12g/dL for males; <11g/dL for females

               7. Albumin < LLN

               8. INR > 1.5 ULN unless subject has known haemophilia or is stable on an
                  anticoagulant regimen affecting INR

          3. Pregnant or breastfeeding female.

          4. HBV infection (HBsAg positive).

          5. Use of prohibited concomitant medications as described in protocol section 5.2.

          6. Chronic use of systemically administered immunosuppressive agents (e.g. prednisone
             equivalent > 10 mg/day for >2 weeks).

          7. Therapy with any anti-neoplastic or immunomodulatory treatment (including
             supraphysiologic doses of steroids and radiation) ≤6 months prior to the first dose of
             study drug.

          8. Any investigational drug ≤6 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.

             barbiturates, amphetamines, cocaine, benzodiazepines, phencyclidine, propoxyphene, or
             alcohol, with the exception of a positive result (including methadone) associated with
             documented short-term use or chronic stable use of a prescribed medication in that
             class.

         11. Injecting drug use within the previous six months.

         12. Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent or abide by the requirements of
