Brief summary:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with ABT-450 co-formulated with ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333; 3-DAA regimen, with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (HCV GT1) infection.

Detailed description:
This study (TOPAZ-II; M14-222), was a Phase 3b, open-label, multicenter study conducted in the United States which, together with its companion study TOPAZ-I (M14-423; NCT02219490) conducted outside of the United States, was designed with the primary objective of assessing the effect of treatment response on long-term clinical outcomes in adults with chronic HCV GT1 infection with or without compensated cirrhosis, who were either treatment-naïve or interferon/ribavirin (IFN/RBV) treatment- experienced. In both studies, participants were treated with the 3-DAA regimen with or without RBV. This study consisted of a screening period of up to 42 days, a treatment period of either 12 weeks for HCV GT1a-infected subjects without cirrhosis and for HCV GT1b-infected subjects without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis or 24 weeks for GT1a-infected participants with compensated cirrhosis, and a 260-week post-treatment period.

Arms: arm 1: Participants with HCV GT1b without cirrhosis received the 3-DAA (ABT-450/ritonavir/ABT-267 and ABT-333) regimen: two 75 mg ABT-450/50 mg ritonavir/12.5 mg ABT-267 tablets taken orally every morning (QD) and one ABT-333 250 mg tablet taken orally twice a day (BID) for 12 weeks. Participants with HCV GT1a without cirrhosis and those with HCV GT1b with cirrhosis received the 3-DAA regimen and weight-based ribavirin (RBV; 1000 to 1200 mg divided twice daily per local label) for 12 weeks. Participants with HCV GT1a with cirrhosis received the 3-DAA regimen and weight-based RBV per local label for 24 weeks.
Interventions: intervention 1: ABT-450/r/ABT-267 intervention 2: ABT-333 intervention 3: Ribavirin (RBV)
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Tablet for oral use intervention 2: Tablet for oral use intervention 3: Ribavirin was provided as 200 mg tablets, and dosed based on weight, 1000 to 1200 mg divided twice daily per local label. For example, for participants weighing \< 75 kg, RBV may have been taken orally as 2 tablets in the morning and 3 tablets in the evening which corresponds to a 1000 mg total daily dose. For participants weighing ≥ 75 kg, RBV may have been taken orally as 3 tablets in the morning and 3 tablets in the evening which corresponds to a 1200 mg total daily dose.

1.1
Protocol Amendment:  Summary of Changes
The purpose of this amendment is to:
●
Align the treatment duration for subjects with GT1a infection and 
compensated cirrhosis (F4 fibrosis stage) with the recommended treatment 
duration that is found in the US prescribing information for the 
recently-approved AbbVie product containing the regimen included in this 
study (i.e., ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333).  The treatment duration for 
these patients is extended from 12 to 24 weeks in this amendment, with 
12 weeks considered for some patients based on prior treatment history.
●
Specify that at least 50, but no more than 110 subjects with fibrosis stage of F3 
will be allowed to enroll.  Previously, enrollment of these subjects was capped 
at 100.
●
Remove references to a patient portal, which will not be implemented for the 
study due to administrative reasons.
●
Add the contact information for a new Emergency Medical Service that can be 
contacted by the investigator during a medical emergency if the Primary Study 
Designated Physician for the study is unavailable.
●
Remove the evaluation of adherence to study drug regimens with the Subject 
Care Plan Model from the secondary objectives.  Adherence to the prescribed 
regimen (measured by pill counts for each type of tablet) will be conducted as 
a secondary efficacy endpoint.
An itemized list of all changes made to the protocol under this amendment can be found 
in Appendix D.

Protocol Title:  
An Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate Long-term Outcomes with ABT-450/Ritonavir/ABT-267 
(ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333 With or Without Ribavirin (RBV) in Adults With Genotype 1 
Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection (TOPAZ II)
Primary Objective:  
!
To evaluate the effect of response to treatment (assessed by SVR12 status) on the long-term 
progression of liver disease in adults with chronic HCV GT1 infection who received treatment 
with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or without ribavirin, as measured by all-cause 
death, liver-related death, liver decompensation, liver transplantation, and hepatocellular 
carcinoma.

Methodology:  
The TOPAZ studies are composed of 2 studies (TOPAZ-I [Study M14-423; to be conducted in non-US 
regions] and TOPAZ-II [Study M14-222; to be conducted in the US]) due to administrative reasons.  This 
study (TOPAZ-II) is a Phase 3b, open-label, multi-center study designed together with companion study 
TOPAZ-I, which shares the primary objective of evaluating the effect of SVR12 status on the long-term 
clinical outcomes in adults with GT1 chronic HCV infection with or without compensated cirrhosis, who 
are either treatment-naïve or IFN/RBV (IFN or pegIFN with RBV) treatment-experienced.  In both 
studies, subjects will be treated with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or without ribavirin 
(RBV).
Approximately 600 subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will be enrolled at approximately 50 US sites.  
At least 100, but no more than 150 subjects with fibrosis stage of F4 will be allowed to enroll.  At least 
50, but no more than 110 subjects with fibrosis stage of F3 will be allowed to enroll.  The Metavir score 
system will be used to interpret the liver biopsy and determine the fibrosis stage.  In the absence of a liver 
biopsy, the equivalent Metavir score corresponding to the results of a screening FibroScan or FibroTest 
will be used to determine the fibrosis stage.
This study will utilize a Subject Care Plan Model.  The subject care plan model is a mechanism that 
allows subjects to receive reminders for upcoming study visits, reminders to take study drugs, 
information about  their HCV RNA values (if applicable) and/or receive disease specific education and 
encouragement at varying frequencies of contact.  
Subjects will be contacted by a designated nurse educator, contracted by the sponsor, throughout the trial.  
The nurse educator may interact with subjects by phone, email, in-person visit, postal mail, text message 
or combinations of these listed communications to facilitate the assigned subject care plan level.  After 
enrollment, the subjects will undergo a subject care plan model assessment that will be conducted by a 
designated nurse educator.  The care plan has three levels as detailed below:
Care Plan Level 1:  Subjects that are assessed as requiring a low level of support will be assigned to 
Care Plan Level 1 and will be contacted approximately 2 to 3 times per week.
Care Plan Level 2:  Subjects that are assessed as requiring a moderate level of support will be 
assigned to Care Plan Level 2 and will be contacted approximately 2 to 3 times per week and receive 
once daily study medication reminder.
Care Plan Level 3:  Subjects that are assessed as requiring a high level of support will be assigned to 
Care Plan Level 3 and will be contacted approximately 3 to 5 times per week and receive twice daily 
study medication reminders.
The designated nurse educator will assign a care plan level after their initial assessment and may adjust 
the care plan level as needed throughout the trial.  The subject care plan model support will continue until 
subjects have completed their Post-Treatment Week 12 Visit.
The study will consist of a Screening Period, Treatment Period and a Post-Treatment Period. 
Treatment Period:  HCV GT1-infected subjects who are either treatment-naïve or previously treated with 
IFN/RBV (IFN or pegIFN with RBV) will receive ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT 333.  Subjects with 
HCV GT1a infection and all GT1-infected subjects with compensated cirrhosis will also receive RBV.  
The treatment duration will be 12 weeks for all subjects except HCV GT1a infected subjects with 
compensated cirrhosis, who will receive treatment for 24 weeks unless a treatment duration of 12 weeks 
is selected by the investigator based on the subject's prior treatment history.

Methodology (Continued):  
HCV GT1a-infected subjects with compensated cirrhosis who were assigned to 12 weeks of treatment 
under a previous version of this protocol will be assigned to 12 additional weeks of treatment unless 
1) the investigator determines that a 12-week duration of therapy is appropriate based on the subject's 
prior treatment history; or 2) the subject has already completed the original study drug treatment and 
additional treatment cannot be initiated within 15 days of the date that the original 12-week treatment was 
completed.
Post-Treatment Period:  Subjects who receive at least one dose of study drug will be followed for up to 
260 weeks.  All subjects dosed with study drug who complete or prematurely discontinue study drug will 
be followed in the Post-Treatment Period for 5 years (PT Week 260) and will continue onto their 
post-treatment care plan (as part of the Subject Care Plan Model) through Post-Treatment Week 12.
The Post-Treatment Period will assess safety, antiviral response, and clinical outcomes, including 
all-cause death, liver-related death, liver decompensation, occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma, and 
liver transplantation.

Statistical Methods (Continued):
Efficacy (Continued):
The secondary efficacy endpoints are:
1)  The percentage of subjects achieving SVR12 (HCV RNA < LLOQ 12 weeks after the last actual dose 
of study drugs).  The SVR12 rate and corresponding 2-sided 95% confidence interval using the Wilson 
score method for the binomial proportion will be presented.
2)  The mean change from baseline in quality of life and fatigue to Post-Treatment Week 12 and to 
Post-Treatment Week 24 (assessed by Short-Form 36 Version 2 health survey (SF-36v2) and the 
Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Fatigue (FACIT–F) questionnaires) will be assessed 
by subjects' fibrosis stage at baseline using an ANCOVA model with baseline fibrosis stage as the factor 
and baseline PRO score and SVR12 status as covariates.
3)  Adherence to the prescribed regimen (measured by pill counts for each type of tablet).
Safety:
The overall number and percentage of subjects reporting treatment-emergent adverse events will be 
tabulated by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) system organ class and preferred 
term.  The tabulation of the number of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events also will be 
provided by severity rating and relationship to study drug.  Change from baseline in laboratory tests and 
vital sign measurements to each time point of collection will be summarized.  Laboratory test and vital 
sign values that are potentially clinically significant, according to predefined criteria, will be identified 
and the number and percentage of subjects with potentially clinically significant values will be 
calculated.
Resistance: 
The following resistance information will be provided for a subset of the subjects who experience 
virologic failure:  1) the amino acid variants at baseline at signature resistance-associated positions 
identified by population nucleotide sequencing and comparison to the appropriate prototypic reference 
sequence, 2) the amino acid variants in available post-baseline samples at signature resistance-associated 
positions identified by population nucleotide sequencing and comparison to the baseline sequence, and 3) 
the amino acid variants in available post-baseline samples at signature resistance-associated positions 
identified by population nucleotide sequencing and comparison to the appropriate prototypic reference 
sequence.  
In addition, the persistence of viral resistance-associated amino acid variants will be evaluated in selected 
samples during the 5-year (through PT Week 260) Post-Treatment Period.

Introduction
Hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection is a global health problem, with 170 million individuals 
chronically infected worldwide and at risk of developing liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular 
carcinoma, or both.1  Cirrhosis develops after prolonged HCV infection.2  Complications 
of cirrhosis include hepatic decompensation (ascites, encephalopathy, variceal 
hemorrhage, hepatorenal syndrome, or hepatic synthetic dysfunction) and hepatocellular 
carcinoma, which ensues at a rate of about 3% per year.3-6  Without liver transplantation, 
decompensated cirrhosis leads to death in 50% to 72% of patients after 5 years.7  As a 
result of the high prevalence of HCV infection and resultant complications, HCV is the 
leading indication for liver transplantation in the United States and the world as a whole.8  
Because a majority of patients are believed to have acquired their infection as young 
adults in the 1970s,9,10 the number of patients chronically infected for more than 20 years 
continues to rise,11,12 and the prevalence of cirrhosis and related complications is expected 
to increase.13  In a cohort study of patients with HCV from the United States Department 
of Veterans Affairs (VA), the prevalence of cirrhosis has increased significantly over the 
past 10 years.14  Based on a multicohort natural history model, the proportion of patients 
with cirrhosis in the United States is projected to reach 25% in 2010 and 45% in 2030.15
Treatment of HCV-infected patients could reduce the risk of cirrhosis, decompensation, 
cancer and liver-related deaths.  Among patients from the VA treated with pegylated 
interferon (pegIFN) and ribavirin therapy, achieving a sustained virologic response (SVR) 
was associated with significant reduction in all-cause death compared to subjects who did 
not achieve SVR (5-year mortality rate in HCV genotype 1-infected patients:  6.7% versus 
14.4%, respectively).16  In addition, the 5-year occurrence of the composite clinical events 
of death, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma were significantly lower in HCV-
infected patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis who achieved SVR versus those 
without SVR (9.2% versus 28.2%, respectively).17  Patients with SVR following treatment 
with pegIFN with or without ribavirin (RBV) have also shown improvement in liver 
histology and a reduction in liver-related mortality in several studies.18-20  Moreover, 
, patients with compensated cirrhosis who achieve SVR essentially eliminate their 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
18
subsequent risk of decompensation, may achieve histologic regression, and decrease their 
risk of hepatocellular carcinoma by two-thirds.21-23  In patients with advanced fibrosis and 
d cirrhosis, viral suppression by more than 4 logs10 with pegIFN and RBV was associated 
with marked reduction in death/liver transplantation, and in liver-related morbidity and 
mortality.24
Combinations of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) targeting different steps of viral 
replication have the potential to significantly improve HCV treatment compared to the 
current interferon-containing regimens for HCV genotype 1 infection by increasing SVR 
rates, eliminating IFN 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 IFN-free regimen for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 infection 
includes 3 DAAs targeting different steps in HCV replication.  ABT-450 is a 
nonstructural protein 3/nonstructural protein 4A (NS3/NS4A) protease inhibitor 
co-administered with the pharmacokinetic enhancer, ritonavir (ABT-450/r); ABT-267 
(ombitasvir) is a NS5A inhibitor, and ABT-333 (dasabuvir) is a NS5B non-nucleoside 
polymerase inhibitor.  The 3-DAA regimen has been studied with and without ribavirin in 
over 2,300 patients in Phase 3 trials across a variety of patient populations including those 
with compensated cirrhosis.  Based on Phase 3 data, the regimen with or without RBV 
appears to be safe, well tolerated and efficacious in treatment-naïve and 
treatment-experienced HCV genotype 1-infected subjects including those with 
compensated cirrhosis.  The overall efficacy results (intent to-treat) from the Phase 3 
studies are listed in Table 1.31-35

Phase 3 Placebo-Controlled Studies:  Studies M11-646 and M13-098  
Study M11-646 and Study M13-098 are randomized, placebo-controlled studies that 
assessed the safety and efficacy of 12 weeks of therapy with 3 DAA + RBV in HCV 
genotype 1-infected treatment-naïve subjects (Study M11-646) and prior pegIFN/RBV 
non-responders (Study M13-098) without cirrhosis.  Subjects received 3-DAA + RBV for 
12 weeks of treatment.  Subjects randomized to the placebo arm received placebo for 
12 weeks, after which they received open-label 3-DAA + RBV for 12 weeks.

In Study M11-646, a total of 631 subjects were randomized and received at least one dose 
of study drug, of which 67.7% had HCV genotype 1a and 32.3% had HCV genotype 1b.  
The SVR12 rate for treatment-naïve subjects receiving 3-DAA + RBV for 12 weeks was 
96.2%.  Virologic failure was noted in 7/322 (2.2%) genotype 1a subjects (on treatment 
virologic failure:  n = 1; relapse:  n = 6) and 1/151 (0.7%) genotype 1b subjects (relapse). 
In Study M13-098, a total of 394  subjects were randomized and received at least one dose 
of study drug, of which  58.4% had HCV genotype 1a, 41.4% had HCV genotype 1b, 
49.0% were prior pegIFN/RBV null responders, 21.9/% were prior pegIFN/RBV partial 
responders, and 29.2% were prior pegIFN/RBV relapsers.  The SVR12 rate for 
treatment-experienced subjects receiving 3-DAA + RBV for 12 weeks was 96.3%.  
Virologic failure (all relapse) was noted in 5/173 (2.9%) genotype 1a subjects and 2/123 
(1.6%) genotype 1b subjects. 
Phase 3 Regimen-Controlled Studies:  Studies M13-389, M13-961 and M14-002
Studies M13-389, M13-961, and M14-002 are randomized, regimen-controlled trials that 
assessed the safety and efficacy of 12 weeks of treatment with 3 DAAs with or without 
RBV.  Study M13-961 and Study M14-002 are placebo-controlled studies, while 
Study M13-389 is an open-label study.  The patient population was different in each of 
the 3 studies.  Study M13-389 enrolled genotype 1b-infected subjects with prior 
non-response to pegIFN/RBV, M13-961 enrolled genotype 1b-infected subjects who were 
treatment-naïve, and Study M14-002 enrolled genotype 1a-infected subjects who were 
treatment-naïve.  All three studies excluded subjects with cirrhosis.
In Study M13-389, a total of 186  subjects were randomized and received at least one dose 
of study drug, of which 34.9% were prior pegIFN/RBV null responders, 28.5% were prior 
pegIFN/RBV partial responders, and 36.6% were prior pegIFN/RBV relapsers.  The 
SVR12 rates were 96.6% in the 3-DAA + RBV arm and 100% in the 3-DAA without RBV 
arm.  The difference in SVR12 rates between the 2 regimens met the protocol-specified 
criteria for noninferiority; hence, the 3-DAA regimen without RBV demonstrated 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
21
noninferiority compared to 3-DAA + RBV.  No subject in either arm experienced 
on-treatment virologic failure or post-treatment relapse. 
In Study M13-961, a total of 419 subjects were randomized and received at least one dose 
of study drug.  The SVR12 rates for treatment-naïve subjects with HCV genotype 1b 
infection who received either 3 DAAs with or without RBV for 12 weeks were 99.5% and 
99.0%, respectively.  The difference in SVR12 rates between the 2 regimens in this study 
also met the protocol-specified criteria for noninferiority.  One of the 419 treated subjects 
(3-DAA + RBV arm) experienced on-treatment virologic failure.  
In Study M14-002, 305 subjects were randomized and received at least one dose of study 
drug.  The SVR12 rates for treatment-naïve subjects with HCV genotype 1a infection who 
received either 3 DAAs with or without RBV for 12 weeks in Study M14-002 were 97.0% 
and 90.2%, respectively.  The SVR12 rate in the 3-DAA arm did not achieve noninferiority 
to the 3-DAA + RBV arm.  Virologic failure was noted in 2/100 (2.0%) subjects (on
treatment virologic failure:  n = 1; relapse:  n = 1) in the RBV-containing regimen and 
16/205 (7.8%) subjects (on treatment virologic failure:  n = 6; relapse:  n = 10) in the 
RBV-free regimen.  The difference between arms demonstrates that RBV contributes to 
the efficacy in genotype 1a-infected patients and suggests that 3-DAA + RBV is the 
optimal regimen for these patients.
Phase 3 Study in Cirrhotics:  Study M13-099
Study M13-099 is a randomized, multicenter, open-label trial in treatment-naïve subjects 
or subjects previously treated with pegIFN/RBV with chronic HCV genotype 1 infection 
with compensated (Child-Pugh A, score ≤ 6) cirrhosis.  The 3 DAAs + RBV were 
administered for either 12 or 24 weeks of treatment.
A total of 380 subjects were randomized and received at least one dose of study drug, of 
which 68.7% had HCV genotype 1a, 31.3% had HCV genotype 1b, 42.1% were 
treatment-naïve, 36.1% were prior pegIFN/RBV null responders, 8.2% were prior 
pegIFN/RBV partial responders, and 13.7% were prior pegIFN/RBV relapsers. 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
22
The SVR12 rates for subjects with compensated cirrhosis treated with 3-DAA + RBV for 
12 or 24 weeks were 91.8% and 95.9%, respectively.  Virologic failure was noted in 
13/208 (6.3%) subjects (on treatment virologic failure:  n = 1; relapse:  n = 12) receiving 
the 12-week regimen and 4/172 (2.3%) subjects (on treatment virologic failure:  n = 3; 
relapse:  n = 1) receiving the 24-week regimen.
Analyses of subgroups suggest that the overall difference in SVR12 rates was driven 
largely by a lower SVR12 rate among genotype 1a prior null responders who received 
12 weeks of treatment, while other subgroups had comparable response rates when treated 
for 12 or 24 weeks.  Thus, a 12-week treatment regimen is recommended for all patients 
with cirrhosis with the exception of genotype 1a prior null responders, for whom 
24 weeks of treatment provides a higher SVR.
Integrated Safety Results
A summary of treatment-emergent adverse events from the pooled analyses of data from 
the phase 3 studies is presented in Table 2.  A majority of subjects experienced at least 
one event, but most subjects experienced events that were mild in severity.  Rates of 
severe adverse events and adverse events leading to discontinuation were low across 
studies but numerically higher in the study of subjects with cirrhosis.

The most common adverse events regardless of causality are listed in Table 3. 
Adverse events that occurred at a ≥ 5% incidence in the 3-DAA + RBV regimen versus 
the placebo were considered to be adverse drug reactions related to the study treatment.  
These include fatigue, nausea, pruritus, insomnia, asthenia, and anemia.  The frequency of 
these events was generally lower in the arm treated without RBV.  In general, rates of 
adverse events were similar in patients with cirrhosis versus patients without cirrhosis.

Transient elevations in total (predominantly indirect) bilirubin may occur due to ABT-450 
inhibition of the bilirubin transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, and RBV-induced 
hemolysis.  The elevations generally peaked by Weeks 1 – 2, declined through the end of 
treatment and returned to within the normal range by 4 weeks post-treatment.  Rates of

hyperbilirubinemia were lower in subjects treated with 3-DAA without RBV compared to 
3-DAA with RBV.  The rates and degree of hyperbilirubinemia were higher in patients 
with cirrhosis, but the temporal pattern of elevation followed by resolution was similar 
and few were symptomatic (jaundice).  Rates of ≥ grade 2 hemoglobin reductions were 
6% among subjects without cirrhosis who received the 3-DAA + RBV regimen for 
12 weeks, and 7% and 11% among subjects with cirrhosis who received the 3-DAA + 
RBV regimen for 12 and 24 weeks, respectively.  Grade 3 hemoglobin values were rare.  
The decline in hemoglobin was largely managed with RBV dose reductions; use of 
hematologic growth factors and blood transfusion were rare.  The anemia reported in the 
clinical trials was primarily observed when the 3-DAA regimen was administered with 
RBV.
Transient asymptomatic post-baseline serum ALT elevations of > 5 × ULN occurred at a 
frequency of 1% across active treatment arms and were evaluated by an external hepatic 
panel.  The ALT elevations were asymptomatic, usually occurred within the first 4 weeks 
of treatment and typically declined with ongoing treatment.  A disproportionate number of 
the cases were in women on concurrent systemic estrogen-containing therapy 
(i.e., contraceptives or hormone replacement) and discontinuation of the hormonal therapy 
with continuation or brief interruption of the DAA regimen led to resolution in serum 
ALT elevation.  Concomitant use of systemic estrogen-containing medications is a risk 
factor for these post-baseline elevations in serum ALT.  No ALT elevations greater than 
5 times ULN were observed in subjects receiving progestins only or in subject receiving 
topical vaginal estrogen preparations.  Among the cases of serum ALT elevation thought 
to be related to the DAA regimen, none resulted in hepatic dysfunction and they generally 
resolved or improved with ongoing treatment.  All cases had resolved completely in the 
post-treatment follow-up.
ABT-450/ritonavir, ABT-267 (and its major, inactive human metabolites) and ABT-333 
had no effects on embryo-fetal development in rodent and/or nonrodent species at 
maximal feasible exposures that provided AUC multiples at least 4-fold higher than

26
exposures at the recommended clinical doses.  Clinical studies in women who are 
pregnant have not been conducted.
In summary, the 3-DAA regimen, with or without RBV, was well tolerated with a low 
discontinuation rate.  Adverse events were typically mild, and many of the adverse events 
and laboratory abnormalities observed were attributable to the presence of RBV.  
Transient, asymptomatic serum ALT elevations were observed at a low rate, were not 
associated with hepatic dysfunction and generally resolved with ongoing treatment.

drug-drug interactions can be found in the Investigator's Brochure for ABT-267,

The current study is intended to evaluate the long-term outcomes with 
ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or without RBV for treatment-naïve and 
IFN/RBV treatment-experienced adults with chronic HCV GT1 infection, with or without 
compensated cirrhosis.
3.1
Differences Statement
The combination of 3-DAA with or without RBV for 12 and 24 weeks was explored in 
treatment-naïve and pegIFN/RBV treatment-experienced HCV GT1-infected subjects, 
with (12 and 24 weeks) or without  (12 weeks only) compensated cirrhosis,  in several 
phase 3 studies,  These Phase 3 studies have been conducted in a randomized, controlled, 
double-blind or open-label fashion.  This study is a Phase 3b, single arm, open-label study 
in approximately 600 treatment-naïve and IFN/RBV treatment-experienced subjects with 
or without compensated cirrhosis. 
This is the first study to evaluate SVR12 and clinical outcomes through 5 years following 
treatment with 3-DAA with or without RBV for 12 or 24 weeks in chronic HCV 
GT1-infected subjects.  The study population comprises HCV GT1a- and 1b-infected 
subjects in the United States who are treatment- naïve or IFN/RBV 
treatment-experienced.  The study will include up to 25% of subjects with compensated

cirrhosis which approximates the projected prevalence among chronic HCV-infected 
subjects in the United States.15

Benefits and Risks
This Phase 3b study is a single arm study in which eligible HCV genotype 1-infected 
subjects will receive ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or without RBV for either 
12 or 24 weeks.  The combination of 3-DAA with or without RBV has been evaluated in 
several phase 3 studies.  Treatment with 3-DAA + RBV for 12 weeks resulted in SVR12 in 
96.2% of HCV GT1-infected, treatment-naïve subjects without cirrhosis in 
Study M11-646, and in 96.3% of HCV GT1-infected, pegIFN/RBV 
treatment-experienced subjects without cirrhosis in Study M13-098.  In Study M13-961, 
99.5% and 99.0% of HCV GT1b-infected treatment-naïve subjects without cirrhosis 
achieved SVR12 following treatment with 3-DAA with or without RBV for 12 weeks, 
respectively.  Similarly, in Study M13-389, 96.6% and 100% of HCV GT1b-infected 
pegIFN/RBV treatment-experienced subjects without cirrhosis achieved SVR12 following 
treatment with 3-DAA, with or without RBV for 12 weeks, respectively.  
ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or without RBV was also evaluated in 
Study M14-002.  In Study M14-002, 97.0% and 90.2% of HCV GT1a-infected 
treatment-naïve subjects achieved SVR12 following treatment with and without RBV, 
respectively, suggesting that 3-DAA with RBV is the optimal regimen for HCV 
GT1a-infected subjects.  In this study, HCV GT1a infected subjects will receive 3-DAA 
with RBV.
The likelihood of successfully curing HCV in compensated cirrhotic subjects following 
treatment with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 coadministered with RBV was 
evaluated in Study M13-099.  In Study M13-099, 91.8% and 95.9% of HCV 
GT1-infected treatment-naïve and pegIFN/RBV treatment-experienced subjects achieved 
SVR12 following treatment for 12 and 24 weeks, respectively.  Analysis of subgroups 
demonstrated that the difference in SVR12 rates between treatment arms was due to the 
lower SVR12 rate in GT1a-infected pegIFN/RBV treatment-experienced prior null 
responders treated for 12 weeks.  Among HCV GT1a-infected subjects, 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.  SVR rates were high across all subgroups in HCV 
GT1b-infected subjects treated for 12 and 24 weeks.  For this reason, in previous versions 
of the protocol, HCV GT1a-infected subjects with compensated cirrhosis and who were 
prior null responders to IFN/RBV were assigned to receive 3-DAA with RBV for 
24 weeks, while HCV GT1a-infected subjects with compensated cirrhosis who were not 
prior null responders to IFN/RBV were assigned to received 3-DAA with RBV for 
12 weeks.  In order to align the treatment duration for subjects with GT1a infection and 
compensated cirrhosis with the recommended treatment duration that is found in the US 
prescribing information for the recently-approved AbbVie product containing the regimen 
included in this study (i.e., ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333), the protocol now 
specifies that all HCV GT1a-infected subjects with compensated cirrhosis will be 
assigned to receive 3-DAA with RBV for 24 weeks, unless a treatment duration of 
12 weeks is selected by the investigator based on the subject's prior treatment history.  
HCV GT1a-infected subjects with compensated cirrhosis who were assigned to 12 weeks 
of treatment under a previous version of this protocol will be assigned to 12 additional 
weeks of treatment unless 1) the investigator determines that a 12-week duration of 
therapy is appropriate based on the subject's prior treatment history; or 2) the subject has 
already completed the original study drug treatment and additional treatment cannot be 
initiated within 15 days of the date that the original treatment was completed.
ABT-450/r, ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or without RBV have been well tolerated in the 
Phase 3 studies.  Adverse events that are known, and those not previously described, may 
occur with the DAAs or RBV as detailed in the informed consent for this study.  In 
addition, subjects may experience inconvenience or discomfort related to the study visits 
or study procedures.  
Risks associated with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 coadministered with or without 
RBV, including the risks of toxicity and virologic failure, appear limited and manageable

Study Objectives
Primary Objective(s):
●
To evaluate the effect of response to treatment (assessed by SVR 12 status) on 
the long-term progression of liver disease in adults with chronic HCV GT1
infection who received treatment with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 
with or without ribavirin, as measured by all-cause death, liver-related death, 
liver decompensation, liver transplantation, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Secondary Objectives:
●
To evaluate the percentage of subjects achieving a 12-week sustained virologic 
response, SVR12 (HCV RNA < lower limit of quantification [LLOQ] 12 weeks 
following treatment) in adults with chronic HCV genotype 1 (GT1) infection 
who receive treatment with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or 
without ribavirin.
●
To assess the change from baseline in quality of life and fatigue following 
treatment (assessed by Short-Form 36 Version 2 health survey (SF-36v2) and 
the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Fatigue (FACIT–F) 
questionnaires) by baseline fibrosis stage.
●
Adherence to the prescribed regimen (measured by pill counts for each type of 
tablet).

Overall Study Design and Plan:  Description
This is a Phase 3b, open-label, multi-center study designed together with companion study 
TOPAZ-I, which shares the primary objective of assessing the effect of treatment 
response on long-term clinical outcomes in adults with GT-1 chronic HCV infection with 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol

or without compensated cirrhosis, who are either treatment-naïve or IFN/RBV (IFN or 
peg IFN/RBV) treatment-experienced.  In both studies, subjects will be treated with 
ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or without ribavirin (RBV).
In the TOPAZ-I and TOPAZ-II studies, the primary objective is to assess the effect of 
treatment response (SVR12) on long-term clinical outcomes, based on the data from both 
studies combined.  The studies differ based on geographic region (this study will be 
conducted in the US while the TOPAZ-I study will be conducted outside the US) and 
based on certain procedures that are not related to the primary outcome.  For example, this 
study will utilize a Subject Care Plan Model to facilitate subjects' adherence to the study 
drugs, and the TOPAZ-I study will assess the long-term change from baseline in liver 
elastography. 
Subjects will be considered to be non-cirrhotic based on a liver biopsy within 24 months 
prior to or during screening demonstrating the absence of cirrhosis (e.g., a METAVIR 
Score of 3 or less, Ishak score of 4 or less) or, if a liver biopsy is unavailable, a screening 
FibroScan® result of < 12.5 kPa or a screening FibroTest score of ≤ 0.72 and Aspartate 
Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) ≤ 2. 
Subjects will be considered to have cirrhosis based on previous histologic diagnosis of 
cirrhosis on a liver biopsy (e.g., Metavir Score of > 3 [including 3 – 4 or 3/4], Ishak score 
of > 4) or, if a liver biopsy is unavailable, a screening FibroScan score ≥ 14.6 kPa or a 
screening FibroTest > 0.72 and APRI > 2. 
In the absence of a qualifying liver biopsy, subjects with a screening FibroScan result that 
is ≥ 12.5 kPa and < 14.6 kPa, a FibroTest result that is ≤ 0.72 and an APRI > 2, or a 
FibroTest result that is ≥ 0.73 and an APRI ≤ 2, should be evaluated based on the 
investigator's clinical judgment to determine the presence or absence of cirrhosis.
Subjects will be considered treatment-naïve if they have never received any antiviral 
treatment for hepatitis C infection.

Subjects will be considered treatment-experienced if they have received prior IFN/RBV 
(IFN or pegIFN with RBV) excluding DAAs.  Subjects with HCV RNA levels that 
document the type of prior response to IFN/RBV treatment will be categorized as one of 
the following:
●
Null-responder:  failed to achieve a 1 log10 IU/mL reduction in HCV RNA by 
Week 4 or a 2 log10 IU/mL reduction in HCV RNA by Week 12 during a prior 
IFN/RBV or pegIFN/RBV treatment course;
●
Partial responder:  achieved at least a 2 log10 IU/mL reduction in HCV RNA 
by Week 12 during a prior IFN/RBV or pegIFN/RBV treatment course but 
failed to achieve HCV RNA undetectable at the end of treatment; 
●
Relapser:  achieved HCV RNA undetectable at end of a prior IFN/RBV or 
pegIFN/RBV treatment course but HCV RNA was detectable following 
cessation of therapy.
Subjects with a less well-characterized IFN/RBV treatment experience, including those 
subjects with incomplete HCV RNA and treatment date documentation, will be 
categorized as one of the following:
●
Prior relapse/breakthrough:  Achieved at least one documented result of HCV 
RNA undetectable during a prior IFN/RBV or pegIFN/RBV treatment course.
●
Prior nonresponder:  Did not achieve a documented result of HCV RNA 
undetectable or HCV RNA was detected at the end of treatment during a prior 
IFN/RBV or pegIFN/RBV treatment course, with insufficient data available to 
categorize as a breakthrough, partial or null responder.
●
IFN intolerant:  Did not meet any of the above definitions of treatment-failure 
and discontinued IFN/RBV or pegIFN/RBV therapy due to IFN or pegIFN 
intolerability.  
The study is designed to enroll approximately 600 subjects to meet scientific and 
regulatory objectives without enrolling an undue number of subjects in alignment with 
ethical considerations.  Therefore, if the target number of subjects has been enrolled, there 
is a possibility that additional subjects in screening will not be enrolled.

At least 100, but no more than 150 subjects with fibrosis stage of F4 will be allowed to 
enroll.  At least 50, but no more than 110 subjects with fibrosis stage of F3 will be 
allowed to enroll.  The Metavir score system will be used to interpret the liver biopsy and 
determine the fibrosis stage.  In the absence of a liver biopsy, the equivalent Metavir score 
corresponding to the results of a screening FibroScan or FibroTest will be used to 
determine the baseline fibrosis stage as listed below:

F3 or F4).
The resulting Metavir score, as shown in the above table, will be documented via 
recording in the IRT system.  
After meeting the eligibility criteria, subjects will be enrolled to either 12 or 24 weeks of 
treatment.

This study will also utilize a Subject Care Plan Model.  The Subject Care Plan Model is a 
mechanism that allows subjects to receive reminders for upcoming study visits, reminders 
to take study drugs, information about their HCV RNA values (if applicable) and/or 
receive disease specific education and encouragement at varying frequencies of contact.  
Subjects will be contacted by a designated nurse educator, contracted by the sponsor, 
throughout the trial.  The nurse educator may interact with subjects by phone, email, 
in-person visit, postal mail, text message or combinations of these listed communications 
to facilitate the assigned subject care plan level.  After enrollment, the subjects will 
undergo a Subject Care Plan assessment (as part of Subject Care Plan Model) that will be 
conducted by a designated nurse educator.  The care plan has three levels as detailed 
below:
Care Plan Level 1:  Subjects that are assessed as requiring a low level of support 
will be assigned to Care Plan Level 1 and will be contacted approximately 2 to 
3 times per week.
Care Plan Level 2:  Subjects that are assessed as requiring a moderate level of 
support will be assigned to Care Plan Level 2 and will be contacted approximately 
2 to 3 times per week and receive once daily study medication reminder.
Care Plan Level 3:  Subjects that are assessed as requiring a high level of support 
will be assigned to Care Plan Level 3 and will be contacted approximately 3 to 
5 times per week and receive twice daily study medication reminders.
The designated nurse educator will assign a care plan level after their initial assessment 
and may adjust the care plan level as needed throughout the trial.  The Subject Care Plan 
Model support will continue until subjects have completed their Post-Treatment Week 12 
Visit.  Details regarding Subject Care Plan Model are described in Section 5.3.1.1.
The study will consist of a Screening Period (Section 5.1.1), Treatment Period 
(Section 5.1.2) and a Post-Treatment Period (Section 5.1.3).

5.1.1
Screening
At the Screening Visit, subjects who provide written (signed and dated) informed consent 
prior to any study specific procedures, will receive a unique subject number via the 
Interactive Response Technology (IRT) system and will undergo the study procedures 
identified in Section 5.3.1 associated with the Screening Visit.  The investigator or his/her 
designated and qualified representatives will evaluate whether the subject meets all of the 
eligibility criteria specified in Section 5.2.1 and Section 5.2.2 during the period from the 
Screening Visit through Study Day 1 prior to dosing and record the results of this 
assessment and the details of the informed consent process in the subject's medical 
records. 
Eligible subjects have up to 42 days following the Screening Visit to enroll into the study.
5.1.1.1
Rescreening
Subjects who meet all eligibility criteria with the exception of up to three exclusionary 
laboratory parameters may rescreen once within the 42 day screening period without prior 
AbbVie approval.  However, subjects with any of the following exclusionary values will 
not be allowed to rescreen:  exclusionary HCV genotype, a positive hepatitis B surface 
antigen, positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, or confirmed 
pregnancy.  Subjects with more than three exclusionary laboratory results will require 
approval from the AbbVie Study Designated Physician prior to rescreening.  Subjects 
being rescreened because of an exclusionary laboratory parameter(s) must have the 
laboratory parameter(s) repeated within the same screening period.
For subjects who do not meet the study eligibility criteria, the site personnel must register 
the subject as a screen failure in both IRT and electronic data capture (EDC) systems.
5.1.2
Treatment Period (TP)
After meeting the eligibility criteria, subjects will be enrolled to either 12 or 24 weeks of 
treatment as described in Section 5.1 and Table 5.

HCV GT1-infected subjects who are either treatment-naïve or previously treated with 
IFN/RBV (IFN or pegIFN with RBV) will receive ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333.  
Subjects with HCV GT1a infection and all GT1-infected subjects with compensated 
cirrhosis will receive RBV.  The treatment duration will be 12 weeks for all subjects 
except HCV GT1a-infected subjects with compensated cirrhosis, who will receive 
treatment for 24 weeks unless a treatment duration of 12 weeks is selected by the 
investigator based on the subject's prior treatment history.  Subjects will receive study 
drug regimens according to criteria listed in Table 5.

Treatment for 12 weeks may be considered for some patients based on prior treatment history (See response rates 
in GT1a cirrhotics by prior treatment history protocol Section 3.0, Table 1).
The site will enter subject's genotype (1b / Non-1b), fibrosis stage and prior IFN/RBV 
null responders and nonresponder information in the IRT system (Table 5).
ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV (if applicable) will be administered as 
described in Section 5.5.1 (Treatments Administered).  Subjects will receive instructions 
about the study at the Day 1 Visit.  The study drugs will be dispensed at the visits 
indicated in Table 7.
After enrollment, all subjects will continue to return to the site on an outpatient basis for 
the study visits and procedures as identified in Table 7.  Subjects could also return to the

site as an unscheduled study visit for additional safety visits if the investigator feels 
necessary.  All subjects will be assigned to a care level based on the assessment as 
described in Section 5.3.1.1 (Subject Care Plan Model).  Sites should ensure that subjects 
adhere to the study visits listed in Table 7.  Subjects who cannot complete their study 
visit per the visit schedule should ensure they do not run out of study drug prior to their 
next study visit.  Compliance is critical to ensure adequate drug exposure.
Some of the Treatment Period study visits and visit activities (including but not limited to 
vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and concomitant medication assessment) may be 
conducted in the home or non-hospital/clinic environment by qualified individuals at the 
request of the Investigator, with approval from the Sponsor, and with the agreement of the 
subject.
Virologic failure criteria will be evaluated and applied by the Investigator as detailed in 
Section 5.4.3.
Subjects who prematurely discontinue from the Treatment Period should return for a 
Treatment Discontinuation Visit and undergo the study procedures as outlined in Table 7
and as described in Section 5.3.1.1.  Ideally, this should occur on the day of study drug 
discontinuation, but is recommended to be no later than 2 days after their final dose of 
study drug and prior to the initiation of any other anti-HCV therapy if applicable.  
Following completion or premature discontinuation of study drug treatment, all subjects 
will enter the 260-week Post-Treatment Period.
The Treatment Period will assess safety, antiviral response, and clinical outcomes, 
including all-cause death, liver-related death, liver decompensation, occurrence of 
hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver transplantation.
5.1.3
Post-Treatment (PT) Period
All subjects who receive at least one dose of study drugs will enter into the 
Post-Treatment Period and return to the site on an outpatient basis for the study visits and 
procedures as identified in Table 7.  The Post-Treatment Period will begin the day 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV

following the last dose of study drug treatment and last for approximately 260 weeks as 
outlined in Table 7.  Subjects could also return to the site as an unscheduled study visit for 
additional safety visits if the investigator feels necessary.  Subjects who prematurely 
discontinue during the Post-Treatment Period should return to the site for a 
Post-Treatment discontinuation visit and undergo the study procedures as outlined in 
Table 7 and as described in Section 5.3.1.1.
All subjects will continue to receive the assigned subject care plan until the completion of 
Post-Treatment Week 12 Visit.  Upon completion of Post-Treatment Week 12 Visit, all 
subjects in each care plan level will receive one final session with the nurse educator for 
final education.  Details regarding Subject Care Plan Model are described in 
Section 5.3.1.1.
Some of the Post-Treatment Period study visits and visit activities (including but not 
limited to vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and concomitant medication assessment) 
may be conducted in the home or non-hospital/clinic environment by qualified individuals 
at the request of the investigator, with approval from the Sponsor, and with the agreement 
of the subject.
The post-treatment period will assess safety, antiviral response, and clinical outcomes, 
including all-cause death, liver-related death, liver decompensation, occurrence of 
hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver transplantation.

5.2.3
Prior, Concomitant, and Prohibited Therapy
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, 
vitamins and/or herbal supplements) that the subject is receiving at the time of screening, 
or receives during the study, must be recorded along with the reason for use, date(s) of 
administration including start and end dates, and dosage information including dose, route 
and frequency. 
During the Post-Treatment Period, all medications will be collected until 30 days 
following the last dose of study drugs.  Only anti-HCV medications and concomitant 
medications relevant to SAE of death will be collected thereafter.
The AbbVie Study Designated Physician should be contacted if there are any questions 
regarding concomitant or prior therapies.
5.2.3.1
Prior Therapy
Subjects may be either treatment-naïve or IFN/RBV (IFN or pegIFN with RBV) 
treatment-experienced.
Prior or current use of any investigational or commercially available anti-HCV agents 
other than IFN or RBV, including telaprevir, boceprevir, sofosbuvir, simeprevir or an 
investigational agent, excludes a subject from this study.  Subjects who previously 
participated in trials of investigational anti-HCV agents may be enrolled if they can 
produce documentation that they received only placebo.
5.2.3.2
Concomitant Therapy
Subjects must be able to safely discontinue any prohibited medications within 2 weeks or 
10 half-lives of the medication, whichever is longer, prior to initial study drug 
administration and through 2 weeks following discontinuation of study drugs.  Subjects 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
43
must review and sign an Informed Consent form prior to discontinuing any prohibited 
medications for the purpose of meeting study inclusion criteria.
The investigator or a qualified designee should confirm that a concomitant medication can 
be safely administered with DAAs (including ritonavir) and RBV (if applicable).  Some 
medications may require dose adjustments due to potential for drug-drug interactions.  
The investigator or qualified designee should review concomitant medication(s) label(s) 
and should also utilize the drug-drug interactions (DDI) tool that will be provided by the 
sponsor to screen concomitant medications at each visit for potential drug-drug 
interactions (DDI) with study drugs.  The site should document their DDI review in the 
source or print report and maintain it in the subject's study files.
Management of hematologic growth factor therapy is the responsibility of the 
investigator; growth factors will not be provided by AbbVie, and AbbVie will not 
reimburse for the expense of growth factors or their use.
Investigators should refer to the package inserts for erythropoiesis stimulating agents for 
additional information regarding their use.
Prior to enrollment, subjects should agree to practice two effective methods of birth 
control while receiving study drugs starting with Study Day 1 and for 30 days after 
stopping study drug or for 6 months after stopping study drug if receiving RBV.  Subjects 
using systemic estrogen-containing medications (including estrogen containing oral 
contraceptives) have a higher risk for elevated ALT levels.  Subjects using these kinds of 
medications must discontinue them at least 2 weeks prior to initial study drug 
administration or 10 half-lives (if known), whichever is longer.  Subjects may replace the 
systemic estrogen-containing contraceptive with a progestin-only hormonal contraceptive 
method.
During the Post-Treatment Period, investigators should reassess concomitant medications.  
Subjects may revert to pre-study doses, at a minimum of 2 weeks following 
discontinuation of study drugs, if applicable.

5.2.3.3
Prohibited Therapy
In addition to the medications listed in Table 6, use of known strong inducers of CYP3A 
or strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP2C8 is prohibited within 2 weeks or 10 half-lives 
of the medication, whichever is longer, prior to the initial dose of study drugs and through 
the first 2 weeks after the subject has completed study drugs in the Treatment Period.
The investigator or a qualified designee should refer to the RBV labeling and DDI tool 
that will be provided by the sponsor for a list of prohibited medications.  The site should 
document their DDI review in the source or print report and maintain it in the subject's 
study files.  Anti-HCV medications other than those specified in the protocol will not be 
allowed during the Treatment Period of the study.
Subjects must be able to safely discontinue any prohibited medications.  Subjects must be 
consented prior to discontinuing any prohibited medications for the purpose of meeting 
study inclusion criteria.  During the Post-Treatment Period, investigators should reassess 
prohibited medications and subjects may resume previously prohibited medications or 
revert to pre-study doses, at a minimum of 2 weeks following discontinuation of study 
drugs, if applicable.

Vital Signs, Weight, Height
Body temperature, blood pressure, pulse and body weight will be measured at the visits 
specified in Table 7, or upon subject discontinuation.  Blood pressure and pulse rate will 
be measured after the subject has been sitting for at least 3 minutes.  The vital signs 
performed on Study Day 1 will serve as the baseline for clinical assessment.  The subject 
should wear lightweight clothing and no shoes during weighing.  Height will only be 
measured at Screening; the subject will not wear shoes.
12-lead Electrocardiogram
A 12-lead resting ECG will be obtained at the Screening visit and will serve as the 
baseline assessment.  The ECG should be performed prior to blood collection.
The ECGs will be evaluated by an appropriately trained physician at the site ("local 
reader").  The local reader from the site will sign, and date ECG tracings and will provide 
his/her global interpretation as a written comment on the tracing using the following 
categories:
Normal ECG
Abnormal ECG – not clinically significant
Abnormal ECG – clinically significant
Only the local reader's evaluation of the ECG will be collected and documented in the 
subject's source.  The automatic machine reading (i.e., machine-generated measurements 
and interpretation that are automatically printed on the ECG tracing) will not be collected.  
Clinical Laboratory Tests
Samples will be obtained at a minimum for the clinical laboratory tests outlined in Table 8
at the visits indicated in Table 7.

Blood samples for serum chemistry tests should ideally be collected following a minimum 
8-hour fast at the following visits: Day 1, Final Treatment Visit, and PT Week 52, 104, 
156, 208, and 260.  The remaining visits may be non-fasting.  
Subjects whose visits occur prior to the morning dose of study drug should be instructed 
to fast after midnight.  Subjects whose visits occur following the morning dose of study 
drug should be instructed to fast after breakfast until the study visit occurs.
At the Day 1 study visit, a fasting blood sample is to be collected prior to the first dose of 
study drug which is administered at the Day 1 study visit.  Blood samples should still be 
drawn if the subject did not fast for at least 8 hours.  Subjects should be reminded to eat 
prior to their first dose of study drug (e.g., suggest they bring a light snack).  Fasting 
status will be recorded in the source documents and on the laboratory requisition.  The 
baseline laboratory test results for clinical assessment for a particular test will be defined 
as the last measurement prior to the initial dose of study drug.
A certified central laboratory will be utilized to process and provide results for the clinical 
laboratory tests.  Instructions regarding the collection, processing, and shipping of these 
samples will be provided by the central laboratory chosen for this study.  The certified 
laboratory chosen for this study is ICON.  Samples will be sent to the following address:

Serum and urine pregnancy tests are not required for female subjects with documented 
prior bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy or for subjects who 
are confirmed to be postmenopausal.  
Confirmation of postmenopausal status measured by FSH will be obtained at the 
Screening Visit only for all female subjects.
For females of childbearing potential:
●
A serum pregnancy test will be performed at the Screening visit only and 
analyzed by the central laboratory.  
●
Pregnancy testing will be performed as specified in Table 7 regardless of 
treatment regimen.
●
Subjects that receive a RBV containing regimen will have pregnancy tests 
performed monthly throughout the Treatment Period and for a minimum of 
6 months after the discontinuation of RBV, or according to the local RBV 
label and/or local treatment guidelines for RBV. 
●
Urine pregnancy testing will be performed on-site during the study visit if 
there is a scheduled visit.  If there is not a scheduled study visit, subjects may 
either have pregnancy testing performed at the site as an unscheduled study 
visit or a urine pregnancy test may be conducted by the subject at home with a 
pregnancy test kit provided by the site.  If a urine pregnancy test is performed 
at home, site personnel should contact these female study subjects to capture 
the results of any study-related pregnancy tests in the source records only.
●
If a urine pregnancy result is positive, a confirmatory hCG serum test should 
be collected and sent to the central lab.
Concomitant Medication Assessment
Use of medications (prescription or over-the-counter, including vitamins and herbal 
supplements) from the time of signing the consent through 30 days after last dose of study 
drug will be recorded in the eCRF at each study visit indicated in Table 7.  During the 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
54
Post-Treatment Period, all medications will be collected until 30 days following the last 
dose of study drugs.  Only anti-HCV medications and concomitant medications relevant
to SAE of death will be collected thereafter as indicated in Table 7.  The investigator or 
his/her designated and qualified representatives should review concomitant medication(s) 
label(s) and should also utilize the DDI (drug-drug interactions) tool that will be provided 
by the sponsor to screen concomitant medications at each visit for potential drug 
interaction with study drugs.  The site should document their DDI review in the source or 
print report and maintain it in the subject's study.  The sites should refer to Section 5.2.3
(Prior, Concomitant, and Prohibited Therapy).
Hepatitis and HIV Screen
HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen), anti-HCVAb and anti-HIV Ab will be performed at 
Screening.  A positive anti-HIV Ab test must be confirmed.  The investigator or his/her 
representatives must discuss any local reporting requirements to local health agencies with 
the subject.  The site will report these results per local regulations, if necessary.
HCV Genotype and Subtype 
Plasma samples for HCV genotype and subtype will be collected at Screening.  Genotype 
and subtype will be assessed using the Central lab. 
HCV RNA Levels
Plasma samples for HCV RNA levels will be collected as indicated in Table 7 and 
analyzed using the COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® HCV Test, v2.0.  For this 
assay, the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) is 15 IU/mL.
Liver Biopsy, FibroScan or FibroTest
At Screening, subjects should meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion 
criteria before undergoing a liver biopsy if a historical biopsy is not available.


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
55
Subjects who have not had a liver biopsy within 24 months prior to screening, but who 
otherwise meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will undergo 
either a liver biopsy or non-invasive test (FibroScan or FibroTest/APRI prior to 
enrollment) to determine presence or absence of cirrhosis.  APRI should be calculated 
from samples drawn on the same day.  Selection of liver biopsy or non-invasive testing 
should be based on local standard practice.
FibroTest will be performed as indicated in Table 7.
Child-Pugh Score and Category 
The Child-Pugh score will be calculated and documented at the Screening Visit for 
Cirrhotic subjects only.  Subjects who were considered to be non-cirrhotic at screening 
visit but identified as cirrhotic (according to definitions listed in Section 5.1) during the 
screening process will return to the site prior to the baseline visit for Child-Pugh 
assessment.
The Child-Pugh score uses five clinical measures of liver disease (3 laboratory parameters 
and 2 clinical assessments).  Child-Pugh score will be determined at the screening visit as 
indicated in Table 7.  The Child-Pugh score will be automatically calculated prior to 
Day 1 by EDC RAVE once the investigator or designated site personnel enters the 
subject's parameters (as listed in Table 9).  A total score of 5 – 6 is considered Class A 
(compensated disease); 7 – 9 is Class B (significant functional compromise); and 10 – 15 
is Class C (decompensated disease).

Grade 3:  somnolent, stuporous, place-disoriented, hyperactive reflexes, rigidity, slower waves.
Grade 4:  unarousable coma, no personality/behavior, decerebrate, slow 2 to 3 cps delta activity.
Clinical Assessment of Liver Decompensation
A clinical assessment of hepatic encephalopathy and ascites will be performed at Study 
Day 1 prior to dosing to confirm the subject has not progressed to hepatic decompensation 
since screening for all subjects who have compensated cirrhosis.  Grading system 
guidelines for ascites are listed above in Table 9.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Screening:  Liver Ultrasound 
In order to monitor for the presence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), an ultrasound of 
the liver will be performed as indicated in Table 7.

For subjects with compensated cirrhosis: 
●
Subjects receiving 12 weeks of treatment will have a liver ultrasound 
performed at the screening visit and all Post-Treatment visits except 
Post-Treatment Week 4
●
Subjects receiving 24 weeks of treatment will have a liver ultrasound 
performed at the screening visit, Week 24 visit, and all Post-Treatment visits 
except the Post-Treatment Week 4 and Post-Treatment Week 12.
For subjects without cirrhosis:  Liver ultrasound will be performed at the Screening 
Visit, Post-Treatment Week 52, Post-Treatment Week 156 and Post-Treatment
Week 260.
Subjects with a historical negative liver ultrasound, CT or MRI (within 3 months prior to 
screening) are not required to undergo a screening ultrasound.
A positive Ultrasound result suspicious for HCC during the treatment or post-treatment 
period will be confirmed with CT scan or MRI. 
Assessment of Clinical Outcomes
The following clinical outcomes will be assessed during the study at visits outlined in 
Table 7:
●
All-cause death:  Death due to any cause.
●
Liver-related death:  Death as the result of a liver-related cause, based on the 
opinion of the clinical site principal investigator.
●
Liver transplantation:  Any subject who had undergone liver transplantation.
●
Liver decompensation:  Development of any of the following conditions:  
ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding.
●
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC):  Any subject in whom, at any time during 
the study, HCC developed.  HCC is defined by histologic confirmation or a 
> 1 cm mass lesion on cross-sectional imaging that meets the diagnostic 
criteria of HCC according to AASLD guidelines.30

●
Composite of any of the above outcomes.
Clinical Outcome events that occur during the Treatment Period through Post-Treatment 
Week 4 are to be recorded and documented in the AE/SAE eCRF (Section 6.0) in addition 
to being captured in the Clinical Outcome eCRF.  Clinical Outcome events that occur 
after Post-Treatment Week 4 are to be recorded in the Clinical Outcome eCRFs only, 
except when the clinical outcome is death, in which case the SAE eCRF would also need 
to be completed. 
An independent outcome committee will review and adjudicate the validity of each 
clinical outcome as per the charter.  
HCV Resistance Testing Plasma Sample
A plasma sample for HCV resistance testing will be collected at the study visits, indicated 
in Table 7.  Specific instructions for preparation and storage of the samples will be 
provided by the central laboratory, the Sponsor, or its designee.
Subject Care Plan Model
The Subject Care Plan model is a mechanism that allows subjects to receive reminders for 
upcoming study visits, reminders to take study drugs, information about their HCV RNA 
values (if applicable) and/or receive disease specific education and encouragement at 
varying frequencies of contact.
Subjects will be contacted by a designated nurse educator, contracted by the sponsor, 
throughout the trial.  The nurse educator may interact with subjects by phone, email, 
in-person visit, postal mail, text message or combinations of these listed communications 
to facilitate the assigned subject care plan level.
The investigator or his/her designated site personnel will register each subject in the 
web-based care model portal after enrollment.  However, if the web-based portal is not 
operable, or the site information is not available in the portal, the nurse educator may 
obtain this information verbally from the site.  The subject profile form will collect broad 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
59
demographic information, including but not limited to, the subject's contact information 
and best time of contact. 
Once the subject profile is registered, the subject will be contacted after enrollment by the 
nurse educator, for administration of a brief care plan assessment that will be 
approximately 10 to 30 minutes in duration.
The nurse educator will make three contact attempts and if possible, will leave a voice 
message requesting the subject to call them back and/or allow the subject to also leave a 
voice message for the nurse educator.  If the subject cannot be reached after 
three attempts, the investigator or his/her designated site personnel will be notified and the 
nonresponsive subject will be assigned to care level 1 by the nurse educator.  Subjects 
who do not have access to internet or do not have email will be contacted by phone or 
postal mail.
After the completion of initial assessment, the nurse educator will assign each subject to 
one of the three care plan levels that may be adjusted throughout the trial dependent upon 
subject responsiveness, needs or request of the subject.  Each care plan level provides 
varying levels of support as outlined below for subjects during study drug treatment and 
will continue until the subject has completed Post-Treatment Week 12 Visit. 
Subject Care Plan Levels:
Care Plan Level 1:  Subjects that are assessed as requiring a low level of support 
will be assigned to Care Plan Level 1 and will be contacted approximately  2 to 
3 times per week.
Care Plan Level 2:  Subjects that are assessed as requiring a moderate level of 
support will be assigned to Care Plan Level 2 and will be contacted approximately 
2 to 3 times per week and  receive once daily study medication reminder. 
Care Plan Level 3:  Subjects that are assessed as requiring a high level of support 
will be assigned to Care Plan Level 3 and will be contacted approximately 3 to 
5 times per week and receive twice daily study medication reminders.


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
60
Investigative site personnel will be notified of any subjects that cannot be reached after 
approximately two phone call attempts to perform any necessary follow-up (confirm 
subject status, verify contact information, etc.).  The site may enter subjects' scheduled 
visit dates, actual visit dates, concomitant medication, and treatment duration into the 
web-based portal.  The nurse educators or site personnel may use the web-portal as a 
resource to confirm that the subject is taking their AM and PM doses.
Upon completion of the Post-Treatment Week 12 Visit, all subjects in each care level will 
receive one final session with the nurse educator for final education.
Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) Instruments (Questionnaires)
Subjects will complete the self-administered PRO instruments (where allowed per local 
regulatory guidelines) on the study days specified in Table 7.  Subjects will be instructed 
to follow the instructions provided with each instrument and to provide the best possible 
response to each item.  Site personnel shall not provide interpretation or assistance to 
subjects other than encouragement to complete the tasks.  Subjects who are functionally 
unable to read or understand any of the instruments may have site personnel read the 
questionnaires to them.  Site personnel will encourage completion of each instrument at 
all applicable visits and will ensure that a response is entered for all items.
In this study, PRO instruments will be consistently presented so that subjects will 
complete the Short-Form 36 Version 2 health survey (SF-36v2) instrument first, and the 
FACIT–F instrument second.  PRO instruments should be completed as of the first study 
procedure at each visit and prior to any discussion of adverse events or any review of 
laboratory findings, including HCV RNA levels.
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, 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
61
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.
The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Fatigue (FACIT–F)
The FACIT–F is a symptom specific instrument with a focus on measuring fatigue in a 
variety of chronic diseases or health conditions.  It was originally developed from 
interviews with oncology patients and clinical experts to assess anemia-associated fatigue.  
Its 13-item-version assesses peripheral, central, or mixed fatigue with a recall period of 
7 days and yields a summed total score ranging between 0 and 52.  Higher FACIT–F 
scores indicate a lesser degree of fatigue.  Completion of the FACIT–F (version 4) should 
require approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
Assignment of Subject Numbers
A subject number is assigned at screening via IRT.  Screening numbers will be unique 
4-digit numbers and will begin with 1001, with the first 2 digits representing the 
investigative site and the last 2 digits representing the subjects at that site.  Enrolled 
subjects will keep their screening number as their subject number.
Study Drug Dispensation
Study drugs will be dispensed at the visits as indicated in Table 7.
Study Drug Returned for IRT Reconciliation 
At each visit noted in Table 7, the number of tablets of ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333, 
and RBV (if applicable) remaining in each kit (blister card for DAAs or bottle for RBV) 
will be entered into the IRT system.  Additional information regarding treatment 
compliance can be found in Section 5.5.6.

Archive Samples
Archive plasma and serum samples will be collected at the study visits, indicated in 
Table 7.  Archive plasma and serum samples are being collected for possible additional 
analyses, including but not limited to, study drug or metabolite measurements, viral load, 
safety/efficacy assessments, biomarkers of inflammation, HCV gene sequencing, HCV 
resistance testing, and other possible predictors of response, as determined by the 
Sponsor.
Specific instructions for preparation and storage of archive samples will be provided by 
the central laboratory, the Sponsor, or its designee. 
5.3.1.2
Blood Samples for Pharmacogenetic Analysis
IL28B Sample
One (required) 4mLwhole blood sample for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolation will 
be collected from each subject at screening for Interleukin 28B (IL28B) pharmacogenetic 
analysis and related markers.  If the sample is not collected at this visit, it may be 
collected at any time throughout the study.  This sample will not be used for any testing 
other than IL28B genotypes.
Specific instructions for sample collection and storage will be provided by the central 
laboratory, the Sponsor, or its designee.  Samples will be used only for IL-28B testing and 
then destroyed. 
5.3.1.3
Meals and Dietary Requirement

Safety Variables
The following safety evaluations will be analyzed during the study:  adverse event 
monitoring and vital signs, physical examination, and laboratory test assessments.
5.3.4
Pharmacogenetic Variable
IL28B status will be determined for each subject and analyzed as a factor contributing to 
the subject's response to study treatment.  These IL28B genotype results may be analyzed 
as part of a multi-study assessment of IL28B and response to ABT-450, ABT-267, 
ABT-333, or drugs of these classes.  The results may also be used for the development of 
diagnostic tests related to IL28B and study treatment, or drugs of these classes.

Removal of Subjects from Therapy or Assessment
5.4.1
Discontinuation of Individual Subjects
Each subject has the right to withdraw from the study at any time.  In addition, the 
investigator may discontinue a subject from the study at any time if the investigator 
considers it necessary for any reason, including the occurrence of an adverse event or 
noncompliance with the protocol.
Subjects that discontinue study regardless of cause should be contacted (minimally as a 
telephone assessment) at each scheduled yearly visit to collect the survival status only if 
they provide consent.  Details regarding informed consent are provided in Section 9.3.
If the subject prematurely discontinues during the Treatment Period or the Post-Treatment 
Period, the procedures outlined for the applicable Premature D/C Visit should be 
completed as defined in Table 7.  Ideally for study drug discontinuation, this should occur 
on the day of study drug discontinuation, but no later than 2 days after their final dose of 
study drug and prior to the initiation of any other anti-HCV therapy.  However, these 
procedures should not interfere with the initiation of any new treatments or therapeutic 
modalities that the investigator feels are necessary to treat the subject's condition.  
Following discontinuation of study drug, the subject will be treated in accordance with the 
investigator's best clinical judgment.  The last dose of any study drug and reason for 
discontinuation from the Treatment Period will be recorded in the EDC (electronic data 
capture) system.  
If a subject has an ongoing adverse event or an unresolved laboratory result that is 
significantly outside of the reference range at the time of study drug discontinuation, the 
investigator will attempt to provide follow-up until a satisfactory clinical resolution of the 
laboratory result or adverse event is achieved.
In the event that a positive result is obtained on a pregnancy test for a subject or a subject 
reports becoming pregnant during the Treatment Period, the administration of RBV (if 
applicable) to that subject must be discontinued immediately and DAAs may be continued 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
65
at the principal investigator's discretion after discussion with the subject, if the benefit of 
continuing DAAs is felt to outweigh the potential risk.  Specific instructions regarding 
subject pregnancy can be found in Section 6.6.  Subjects will be monitored for SVR in the 
Post-Treatment Period as described in Section 5.1.2.  The investigator is also encouraged 
to report the pregnancy information to the voluntary RBV Pregnancy Registry, if 
applicable.
5.4.2
Discontinuation of Entire Study
AbbVie may terminate this study prematurely, either in its entirety or at any study site, for 
reasonable cause provided that written notice is submitted in advance of the intended
termination.  The investigator may also terminate the study at his/her site for reasonable 
cause, after providing written notice to AbbVie in advance of the intended termination.  
Advance notice is not required by either party if the study is stopped due to safety 
concerns.  
If AbbVie terminates the study for safety reasons, AbbVie will immediately notify the 
investigator and subsequently provide written instructions for study termination.
5.4.3
Discontinuation of Subjects Meeting Virologic Failure 
Criteria 
The following criteria will be considered evidence of virologic failure.  Subjects 
demonstrating any of the following will be discontinued from study drug:
●
Confirmed increase from nadir in HCV RNA (defined as 2 consecutive HCV 
RNA measurements of > 1 log10 IU/mL above nadir) at any time point during 
treatment;
●
Confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ (defined as 2 consecutive HCV RNA 
measurements ≥ LLOQ) at any point during treatment after HCV RNA 
< LLOQ


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
66
Confirmatory testing, where required, should be completed as soon as possible.  Also, 
when confirmation is required, the subject should remain on study treatment until the 
virologic failure has been confirmed.
If any of the above criteria are met while on DAA therapy, the subject will discontinue 
study treatment as described above.  If the investigator believes the virologic failure is due 
to study drug interruption and/or is compliance related, the AbbVie Study Designated 
Physician should be contacted to discuss alternative management.

At the Screening Visit, all subjects will be assigned a unique subject number through the 
use of IRT.  For subjects who do not meet the study selection criteria (or who are unable 
to enroll before enrollment has closed), the site personnel must contact the IRT system 
and identify the subject as a screen failure.
Subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be 
enrolled into the study on Study Day 1.  Subjects who are enrolled will retain their subject 
number assigned at the Screening Visit throughout the study.  For enrollment of eligible 
subjects into the study, the site will utilize the IRT system in order to receive unique study 
drug kit numbers.  The study drug kit numbers will be assigned according to schedules 
computer-generated before the start of the study by the AbbVie Data and Statistical 
Sciences Department.
Contact information and user guidelines for IRT use will be provided to each site.  Upon

Treatment Compliance
The investigator or his/her designated and qualified representatives will 
administer/dispense study drug only to subjects enrolled in the study in accordance with 
the protocol.  The study drug must not be used for reasons other than those described in 
the protocol.
All study drugs will be dispensed to subjects by study-site personnel under the direction 
of the investigator.  At the start of the study, each subject should receive counseling 
regarding the importance of dosing adherence with the treatment regimen with regard to 
virologic response and potential development of resistance.  The start and stop dates of all 
study drugs will be recorded in the source documents and eCRFs.
During the Treatment Period, subjects will be instructed to bring all study drug kits (full, 
partial or empty) to the study site at each study visit.  The study site personnel will inspect 
the contents of the bottles and blister cards at Study Visits defined as Study Drug 
Returned for IRT Reconciliation in Table 7 and record the status of each one as well as 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV

the exact number of remaining tablets of ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 or tablets of 
RBV (if applicable) and the date of reconciliation in the IRT system.  If poor adherence is 
noted, the subject should be counseled and this should be documented in the subject's 
source.
5.5.7
Drug Accountability
The investigator or his/her representative will verify that study drug supplies are received 
intact and in the correct amounts using the IRT system.  A current (running) and accurate 
inventory of study drug will be kept by the investigator or his/her designated and qualified 
representatives and will include lot number, number of tablets dispensed, subject number, 
username of person who dispensed study drug and date dispensed for each subject.  Final 
accountability will be verified by the monitor at the end of study drug treatment at the site.
During the study, should an enrolled subject misplace or damage a study drug kit, the IRT 
system must be contacted and informed of the misplaced or damaged study drug.  If the 
kit is damaged, the subject will be requested to return the remaining study drug to the site.  
Replacement study drug may only be dispensed to the subject by contacting the IRT 
system.  Study drug replacement(s) and an explanation of the reason for the misplaced or 
damaged study drug(s) will be documented within the subject source documentation.  
Study drug start dates for each drug and the last dose of the regimen will be documented 
in the subject's source documents and recorded on the appropriate eCRF.  The status of 
each kit, number of tablets remaining in each one returned, and the date of reconciliation 
will be documented in the IRT system at Study Visits defined as Study Drug Returned for 
IRT Reconciliation in Table 7.  The monitor will review study drug accountability on an 
ongoing basis.
Upon completion of or discontinuation from the Treatment Period, all original study drug 
bottles (containing unused study drugs) will be returned to the Sponsor (or designee) or 
destroyed on site.  All destruction procedures will be according to instructions from the 
Sponsor and according to local regulations following completion of drug accountability

Discussion and Justification of Study Design
5.6.1
Discussion of Study Design and Choice of Control Groups
The combination regimen of ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or without RBV for 
12 and 24 weeks has been evaluated in treatment-naïve and pegIFN/RBV 
treatment-experienced HCV GT1-infected subjects, with or without compensated 
cirrhosis, in the Phase 3 studies.  Based upon the results from Studies M11-646, M13-098, 
M13-961, M13-389, M14-002 and M13-099 (discussed in detail in Section 3.0), AbbVie 
plans to evaluate the same combination regimen used in the Phase 3 studies in a study 
population of treatment-naïve and IFN/RBV treatment-experienced HCV GT1-infected 
subjects, with or without compensated cirrhosis.  The intention of this study is to assess 
the effect of treatment response on long-term clinical outcomes and evaluate the SVR12
following treatment with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333, with or without RBV.  
Given the above considerations, it is anticipated that the study design will maximize the 
SVR rates in the population.  As such, the absence of randomization, blinding and control 
groups is appropriate.  No hypothesis testing is planned; statistical analyses will be 
descriptive.
5.6.2
Appropriateness of Measurements
Standard statistical, clinical, and laboratory procedures will be utilized in this study.  HCV 
RNA assays are standard and validated.  The SF-36v2 and FACIT–F instruments are 
standard in the literature and thoroughly validated in the general population and in 
subjects who have chronic health conditions.  The SF-36v2 health survey is the standard 
Health-related Quality of Life instrument in hepatitis C subjects worldwide and FACIT–F 
has been used in hepatitis C registration clinical trials as an assessment tool for fatigue.

Suitability of Subject Population
This study plans to enroll both HCV treatment-naïve and IFN/RBV treatment-experienced 
subjects with genotype 1 chronic HCV, with or without compensated cirrhosis.  The 
subject population to be studied is reflective of the current demographics of chronic HCV 
infection in the United States.  Moreover, this study population has been evaluated in the 
phase 3 studies where more than 2,300 subjects received the combination regimen that is 
planned to be administered in this study.  In the Phase 3 studies, treatment with 
ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with RBV for 12 weeks resulted in SVR12 in 96% to 
99% of HCV GT1-infected, treatment-naïve subjects without cirrhosis, and 96% to 100% 
of HCV GT1-infected, pegIFN/RBV treatment-experienced subjects without cirrhosis.  
Similarly, high SVR12 rates (99% to 100%) were seen in HCV GT1b-infected 
treatment-naïve and pegIFN/RBV treatment-experienced subjects without cirrhosis 
following treatment with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333, without RBV for 12 weeks.  
Among subjects with compensated cirrhosis, 92% and 96% of HCV GT1-infected 
treatment-naïve and pegIFN/RBV treatment-experienced subjects achieved SVR12
following treatment with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with RBV for 12 and 
24 weeks, respectively.  The DAA regimen ABT-450/r, ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or 
without RBV have been well tolerated in the Phase 3 studies, as evidenced by the low rate 
of treatment discontinuation and serious adverse events.  
5.6.4
Selection of Doses in the Study
ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333:
Doses of the three DAAs to be used in this study have been administered in the Phase 3 
Studies M11-646, M13-098, M13-389, M13-961, M14-002 and M13-099 have shown 
high SVR12 rates in combination with each other, with or without RBV, with a favorable 
safety profile.  The maximum dose of ABT-450/r/ABT-267 75 mg/50 mg/12.5 mg tablets 
will not exceed 150 mg/100 mg/25 mg per day for 24 weeks.  The maximum dose of 
ABT-333 250 mg tablets administered in this study will not exceed 500 mg per day for 
24 weeks.

RBV
The daily dose of RBV (if applicable) in this study is 1000 or 1200 mg, divided 
twice daily, and based on subject weight.  This dose is approved for treatment of adult 
patients with chronic hepatitis C infection in combination with pegIFN.  The same dose 
was studied in the Phase 3 Studies M11-646, M13-098, M13-389, M13-961, M14-002 
and M13-099 and was found to be generally safe and well tolerated and resulted in high 
SVR rates. 
The maximum RBV dose administered in this study will not exceed 1200 mg, divided 
twice daily for 24 weeks.

Adverse Events
The investigator will monitor each subject for clinical and laboratory evidence of adverse 
events on a routine basis throughout the study.  The investigator will assess and record 
any adverse event in detail including the date of onset, event diagnosis (if known) or 
sign/symptom, severity, time course (end date, ongoing, intermittent), relationship of the 
adverse event to study drug, and any action(s) taken.  For serious adverse events 
considered as having "no reasonable possibility" of being related to study drug, the 
investigator will provide an Other cause of the event.  For adverse events to be considered 
intermittent, the events must be of similar nature and severity.  Adverse events, whether in 
response to a query, observed by site personnel, or reported spontaneously by the subject 
will be recorded.
All adverse events will be followed to a satisfactory conclusion.
6.1
Definitions
6.1.1
Adverse Event
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or 
clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not 
necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.  An adverse event can therefore 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
74
be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), 
symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) 
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 protocol or 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 adverse event.  
Worsening in severity of a reported adverse event should be reported as a new adverse 
event.  Laboratory abnormalities and changes in vital signs are considered to be adverse 
events only if they result in discontinuation from the study, necessitate therapeutic 
medical intervention, [meets protocol specific criteria (see Section 6.7 regarding toxicity 
management)] and/or if the investigator considers them to be adverse events.
An elective surgery/procedure scheduled to occur during a study will not be considered an 
adverse event if the surgery/procedure is being performed for a pre-existing condition or 
the surgery/procedure has been pre-planned prior to study entry.  However, if the 
pre-existing condition deteriorates unexpectedly during the study (e.g., surgery performed 
earlier than planned), then the deterioration of the condition for which the elective 
surgery/procedure is being done will be considered an adverse event.
Protocol-defined clinical outcomes consist of:
●
All-cause death:  Death due to any cause.
●
Liver-related death:  Death as the result of a liver-related cause, based on the 
opinion of the clinical site principal investigator.
●
Liver transplantation:  Any subject who had undergone liver transplantation
●
Liver decompensation:  Development of any of the following conditions:  
ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding.
●
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC):  Any subject in whom, at any time during 
the study, HCC developed.  HCC is defined by histologic confirmation or a 
≥1 cm mass lesion on cross-sectional imaging meets the diagnostic criteria of 
HCC according to AASLD guidelines.30


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
75
Clinical Outcome events that occur during the Treatment Period through Post-Treatment 
Week 4 are to be recorded and documented in the eCRF as an AE/SAE in addition to 
being captured in the Clinical Outcome eCRF(s).  Clinical Outcome events that occur 
after Post-Treatment Week 4 are to be recorded in the Clinical Outcome eCRFs only, 
except when the clinical outcome is death, in which case the SAE eCRFs would also need 
to be completed.
These outcomes will form part of the study endpoints and will be reported in the clinical 
study report at the end of the study.  
6.1.2
Serious Adverse Events
If an adverse event meets any of the following criteria, it is to be reported to AbbVie as a 
serious adverse event (SAE) within 24 hours of the site being made aware of the serious 
adverse event.
Death of Subject
An event that results in the death of a subject.
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 or 
Prolongation of 
Hospitalization
An event that results in an admission to the hospital for any 
length of time or prolongs the subject's hospital stay.  This 
does not include an emergency room visit or admission to an 
outpatient facility.
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 subject.  
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).

M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
76
Important Medical 
Event Requiring 
Medical or Surgical 
Intervention to 
Prevent Serious 
Outcome
An important medical event that may not be immediately 
life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but based 
on medical judgment may jeopardize the subject and may 
require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the 
outcomes listed above (i.e., death of subject, 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.
6.2
Adverse Event Severity
The investigator will use the following definitions to rate the severity of each adverse 
event:
Mild
The adverse event is transient and easily tolerated by the subject.
Moderate
The adverse event causes the subject discomfort and interrupts 
the subject's usual activities.
Severe
The adverse event causes considerable interference with the 
subject's usual activities and may be incapacitating or 
life-threatening.
6.3
Relationship to Study Drug
The investigator will use the following definitions to assess the relationship of the adverse 
event to the use of DAAs (ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333)  and to the use of RBV (if 
applicable):


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
77
Reasonable 
Possibility
An adverse event where there is evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship between the study drug and the adverse event.
No Reasonable 
Possibility
An adverse event where there is no evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship between the study drug and the adverse event.
For causality assessments, events assessed as having a reasonable possibility of being 
related to the study drug will be considered "associated."  Events assessed as having no 
reasonable possibility of being related to study drug will be considered "not associated."  
In addition, when the investigator has not reported a causality or deemed it not assessable, 
AbbVie will consider the event associated.
If an investigator's opinion of no reasonable possibility of being related to study drug is 
given, an Other cause of event must be provided by the investigator for a serious adverse 
event.
6.4
Adverse Event Collection Period
All serious adverse events as well as protocol-related non-serious adverse events will be 
collected from the time the subject signed the study-specific informed consent until study 
drug administration.  From the time of study drug administration until 30 days following 
discontinuation of study treatment has elapsed, all adverse events and serious adverse 
events will be collected, whether solicited or spontaneously reported by the subject.  After 
Post-Treatment Week 4 until the end of the study, only SAE of death will be collected.
Adverse event information will be collected as shown in Figure 2.

with the subject, if the benefit of continuing therapy is felt to outweigh the potential risk 
(Section 5.4.1).
Information regarding a pregnancy occurrence in a study subject and the outcome of the 
pregnancy will be collected for pregnancies occurring up to 30 days after the end of 
treatment with DAAs only, or 6 months (or per local RBV label) after the last dose of 
RBV for treatment with DAAs plus RBV.  The investigator is encouraged to report the 
pregnancy information to the voluntary RBV Pregnancy Registry, if RBV is included 
within the regimen.
Subjects who discontinue study medications due to pregnancy will be monitored for SVR 
in the Post-Treatment Period as described in Section 5.1.3.
Pregnancy in a study subject is not considered an adverse event.  However, the medical 
outcome of an elective or spontaneous abortion, stillbirth or congenital anomaly is 
considered a serious adverse event and must be reported to the Sponsor within 24 hours of 
the site becoming aware of the event.
6.7
Toxicity Management
For the purpose of medical management, all adverse events and laboratory abnormalities 
that occur during the study must be evaluated by the investigator.  A table of Clinical 
Toxicity Grades for evaluating laboratory abnormalities is provided in Appendix C.  This 
table should be used in determination of the appropriate toxicity management as discussed 
in Sections 6.7.1 through 6.7.5.
A drug-related toxicity is an adverse event or laboratory value outside of the reference 
range that is judged by the investigator or the Sponsor as having a "reasonable possibility" 
of being related to the study drug (Section 6.3).  A toxicity is deemed "clinically 
significant" based on the medical judgment of the investigator.  Laboratory abnormalities 
will be managed as deemed clinically appropriate by the investigator until satisfactory 
resolution.


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
81
Investigators should avoid interrupting study drugs for more than 7 consecutive days.  The 
Investigator should ensure that any study drug interruptions or RBV (if applicable) dose 
modifications and associated adverse events are promptly entered into the appropriate 
eCRFs.
The toxicity management guidelines below should be followed throughout the Treatment 
Period of the study.
6.7.1
Grade 1 or 2 Laboratory Abnormalities and Mild or Moderate 
Adverse Events
Subjects who develop a mild or moderate adverse event or Grade 1 or 2 laboratory 
abnormality, other than those discussed separately in Section 6.7.4 (Management of 
Decreases in Hemoglobin) for subjects receiving RBV, Section 6.7.5 (Management of 
ALT Elevations), and Section 6.7.6 (Creatinine Clearance) may continue study drugs with 
follow-up per study protocol and in accordance with local standard of care.
6.7.2
Grade 3 or 4 Laboratory Abnormalities 
With the exception of Grade 3 or higher abnormalities of total bilirubin, uric acid, 
phosphorus, total cholesterol, triglycerides, or glucose (in subjects with a history of 
diabetes), if a subject experiences a Grade 3 or greater abnormal laboratory parameter 
during the Treatment Period, the abnormal laboratory test should be repeated.  If the 
Grade 3 or greater abnormality is confirmed, the investigator should assess whether the 
abnormality can be managed medically without interruption of study drug, or whether 
study drugs should be interrupted and the laboratory parameter followed until it improves.  
If study drugs are interrupted and restarted and the abnormality recurs, then study drugs 
should be permanently discontinued. 
Decreases in serum hemoglobin or in calculated creatinine clearance or elevations of 
serum ALT should be managed according to the guidance in Section 6.7.4, Section 6.7.5, 
, and Section 6.7.6 below.  Grade 3 or greater abnormalities of total bilirubin, uric acid, 
phosphorus, total cholesterol, triglycerides or glucose (in subjects with a history of 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
82
diabetes) should be managed medically as appropriate and do not require confirmation or 
study drug interruption unless deemed necessary by the investigator.
6.7.3
Severe Adverse Events or Serious Adverse Events
If a subject experiences a severe adverse event or a serious adverse event that the 
investigator considers to have a reasonable possibility of relationship to study drug, the 
investigator should assess whether the adverse event can be managed medically without 
interruption of study drug, or whether study drugs should be interrupted until the event 
improves.  If study drugs are interrupted and restarted and the adverse event recurs, then 
study drugs should be permanently discontinued. 
If a subject experiences a severe adverse event or serious adverse event that is considered 
unrelated (no reasonable possibility) to the study drugs, it is not necessary to interrupt 
study drugs unless an interruption is required because of the nature of the event 
(e.g., unable to take oral medications).  
The investigator should ensure that all serious adverse events are reported to AbbVie 
within 24 hours of awareness.  Serious adverse event follow-up information, including 
associated dose interruptions (or discontinuations), must be reported to AbbVie within 24 
hours of awareness by entering updated SAE information into the appropriate eCRFs. 
Severe adverse events and any associated dose interruptions (or discontinuations) should 
be entered into the appropriate eCRFs.
6.7.4
Management of Decreases in Hemoglobin
For subjects not receiving ribavirin:
Hemoglobin decreases should be managed according to grade based on the guidance in 
Section 6.7.1 and Section 6.7.2 above.


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
83
For subjects receiving ribavirin:  
Reductions in hemoglobin are a well characterized side effect of ribavirin exposure.  If a 
subject receiving the standard dose of RBV experiences a hemoglobin decrease meeting 
one of the criteria outlined in Table 12, a confirmatory test should be performed.  If the 
hemoglobin decrease is confirmed, the management guidelines in Table 12 should be 
followed.  Management will be different for subjects without a history of known cardiac 
disease and subjects with known cardiac disease.  Subjects experiencing decreases in 
hemoglobin that do not meet the criteria outlined in Table 12 may need hemoglobin 
evaluations at more frequent intervals at the discretion of the investigator.  
The dose of RBV should not be further modified in subjects with creatinine clearance 
< 50 mL/min who are receiving a reduced dose of RBV.  Reductions in hemoglobin in 
these subjects should be managed as medically appropriate and as outlined in Table 12.
Use of hematologic growth factors (such as erythropoietin or filgrastim) or blood 
transfusions are permitted at the discretion of the investigator.  Management of 
hematologic growth factor therapy is the responsibility of the Investigator, and growth 
factors will not be provided by AbbVie.
Alternate management of hemoglobin decreases outside of these criteria is permitted with 
approval of the AbbVie Study Designated Physician.

gradual dose increases in 200 mg increments 
< 12 g/dL after a 4-week RBV dose reduction
Interrupt ribavirin.  Manage the subject as 
medically appropriate.
If hemoglobin increases to ≥ 12 g/dL, RBV may

For subjects with creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min
< 10 g/dL
Interrupt RBV.  Manage the subject as medically 
appropriate.
If hemoglobin increases to ≥ 10 g/dL, RBV may 
be restarted.  If creatinine clearance increases to 
≥50 mL/min, refer to guidance above.
*
1st dose reduction of ribavirin is by 200 mg/day.  If needed, 2nd dose reduction of ribavirin is by an additional 
200 mg/day.  Subjects whose dose of ribavirin is reduced to 600 mg daily receive one 200 mg tablet in the morning 
and two 200 mg tablets in the evening.
6.7.5
Management of ALT Elevations
Transient asymptomatic grades 3 – 4 ALT elevations have been observed in 
approximately 1% of subjects receiving ABT-450/r-containing regimens.  If a subject 
experiences a post-baseline increase in ALT to > 5 × ULN that is increased from the 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
85
previous measurement, the subject should have a confirmatory ALT measurement 
performed. 
If the ALT increase is confirmed to be > 5 × ULN and increased from the previous 
measurement, the recommendations below should be followed:
●
Evaluate for alternative etiology of ALT elevation:  update medical history and 
concomitant medications eCRF (if applicable), and obtain additional testing as 
appropriate.
●
Manage the subject as medically appropriate.
●
Repeat ALT, AST, total and fractionated bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and 
INR within 1 week.  Repeat liver chemistries as indicated until resolution.
●
Discontinue study drugs if any of the following is observed at any time:
○
ALT level is > 20 × ULN
○
Increasing direct bilirubin, increasing INR, or onset of symptoms/signs of 
hepatitis.
Alternate management of ALT increases is permitted with approval of the AbbVie Study 
Designated Physician.
6.7.6
Creatinine Clearance
If calculated creatinine clearance (by Cockcroft-Gault formula) is confirmed to have 
decreased to < 50 mL/minute, (in a subject with a baseline creatinine clearance 
≥50 mL/min), or to below 30 mL/minute (in a subject with a baseline creatinine clearance 
< 50 mL/min), medical evaluation should include a full review of current medications, 
including those taken on an as needed basis, those which are sold over the counter and any 
dietary and herbal supplements, and appropriate dose reduction or discontinuation based 
on impaired renal function should be done (if applicable).  Ribavirin dose should be 
adjusted as in Table 13.  Alternative management of RBV dose in the setting of reduced 
renal function will require approval of the AbbVie Study Designated Physician.


ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333 and RBV
M14-222 Protocol
Amendment 3
86
The investigator should also consider whether drug-drug interactions with concomitant 
medications may have contributed to the decrease in creatinine clearance, and whether 
discontinuation or substitution of the possible interacting drug might be needed.  For 
example, drug interactions between DAAs and some antihypertensive medications could 
potentially increase exposures of the antihypertensive, which may lead to reduction in 
renal function.  If anti-hypertensive medications are adjusted, vital signs should be 
monitored to ensure appropriate blood pressure control.  Refer to Section 5.2.3 for 
additional information regarding drug-drug interactions.

If creatinine clearance improves, the site should perform all necessary readjustment of any 
dose modifications that have been made.  If creatinine clearance improves to above the 
level that triggered the RBV dose reduction, RBV dose may be increased accordingly.
The Investigator should ensure that any concomitant medication changes, RBV dose 
reductions, and study drug discontinuations, as well as consequent related adverse events 
are entered into the appropriate eCRFs.

Protocol Deviations
AbbVie does not allow intentional/prospective deviations from the protocol.  The 
principal investigator is responsible for complying with all protocol requirements, and 
applicable global and local laws regarding protocol deviations.  If a protocol deviation 
occurs (or is identified) after a subject has been enrolled, the principal investigator is 
responsible for notifying Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Independent Review

drug.  The primary efficacy analysis on clinical outcomes will be performed on all 
subjects in the ITT population. 
The ITT-II population will consist of all subjects enrolled in this study only who receive 
at least one dose of study drug.  All other efficacy, safety, resistance and demographic 
analyses will be performed on all subjects in the ITT-II population.  
No data will be imputed for any efficacy or safety analyses except for the PRO 
questionnaires and for analyses of the HCV RNA endpoints.  If a respondent answers at
least 50% of the items in a multi-item scale of the SF-36v2, the missing items will be 
imputed with the average score of the answered items in the same scale.  In cases where 
the respondent did not answer at least 50% of the items, the score for that domain will be 
considered missing.  Similarly, the missing items of the FACIT–F questionnaire will be 
imputed with the average score of the answered items in the same scale as long as more 
than 50% of the items in the scale were answered.  The SF-36v2 Mental and Physical 
Component Summary measures will not be computed if any domain is missing.  
HCV RNA values will be selected for the SVR12 analysis based on the defined visit 
windows.  When there is no HCV RNA value in a visit window based on defined visit 
windows, 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 subject has a missing HCV RNA value at a post-baseline visit but with undetectable 
or unquantifiable HCV RNA levels at both the preceding value and succeeding value, the 
HCV RNA level will be considered undetectable or unquantifiable, respectively, at this 
visit for this subject.  In addition, if a subject has an unquantifiable HCV RNA level at the 
preceding value and an undetectable HCV RNA level at the succeeding value, or vice 
versa, the HCV RNA level will be imputed as unquantifiable at this visit for this subject.  
Subsequent to this flanking imputation, if a subject is missing a value for the visit window 
associated with the analysis, the subject will be imputed as a visit failure (i.e., not 
undetectable or unquantifiable).  For SVR12 analysis, if there is no value in the appropriate

Demographics
Demographics and baseline characteristics will be summarized for all subjects in the ITT 
population.  Demographics include age, weight, height, and BMI, and the frequency of 
gender, race and ethnicity.  Baseline characteristics will include HCV genotype 1 subtype 
(1a, 1b, other), IL28B genotype ([CC, CT, or TT] and [CC or non-CC]), treatment history 
(treatment-naïve  [IFN-eligible, IFN-ineligible] or IFN/RBV treatment-experienced [null 
responder, partial responder, relapser, prior relapse/breakthrough, prior nonresponder, 
IFN-intolerant]), baseline HCV RNA levels [(continuous) and (≤ 800,000 IU/mL or 
> 800,000 IU/mL)], baseline HOMA-IR (< 3 mU × mmol/L2 or ≥ 3 mU × mmol/L2), 
baseline fibrosis stage (F0-1, F2, F3, F4), tobacco (user, ex-user, or non-user) and alcohol 
use (drinker, ex-drinker, or non-drinker) status.  Summary statistics (N, mean, median, 
SD, and range) will be generated for continuous variables (e.g., age and BMI) and the 
number and percentage of subjects will be presented for categorical variables (e.g., gender 
and race).  
8.1.2
Efficacy
The primary efficacy analysis on clinical outcomes will be performed on all subjects in 
the ITT population.  All other efficacy analyses will be performed on the ITT-II 
population.
Plasma HCV RNA levels will be determined for each sample collected by the central 
laboratory using the COBAS® AmpliPrep HCV assay version 2.0.  For this assay, the

8.1.2.1
Primary Efficacy Endpoint
The primary efficacy endpoint is to assess the effect of response to treatment on clinical 
outcomes by comparing the time to incidence of the following events between subjects 
who achieve SVR12 and those who do not using a Cox regression model:
●
All-cause death
●
Liver-related death
●
Liver decompensation
●
Liver transplantation
●
Hepatocellular carcinoma
●
Composite of any of the above outcomes
The primary analysis will be conducted among subjects in the ITT population as described 
in Section 8.1.
8.1.2.2
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
The secondary efficacy endpoints are:
1.
The percentage of subjects achieving SVR12 (HCV RNA < LLOQ 12 weeks after 
the last actual dose of study drug).  The simple percentage of subjects achieving 
SVR12 will be calculated and a two-sided 95% confidence interval of the 
percentage will be computed using the Wilson score method for the binomial 
proportion.  
2.
The mean change from baseline in quality of life and fatigue to Post-Treatment 
Week 12 and to the Post-Treatment Week 24 (assessed by Short-Form 36 Version 
2 health survey [SF-36v2] and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness 
Therapy – Fatigue [FACIT–F] questionnaires) will be assessed by subjects' fibrosis 
stage at baseline.

Summary statistics (n, mean, SD, minimum and maximum) at Baseline and each 
applicable visit will be provided.  In particular, the comparison of the mean change 
from baseline to Post-Treatment Week 12 and to Post-Treatment Week 24 in the 
SF-36v2 Vitality domain score, SF-36v2 Mental Component Summary Score and 
Physical Component Summary score and in the FACIT–F score among subjects 
who had different fibrosis stage at baseline will be performed using ANCOVA 
analyses with baseline fibrosis stage (F0-F1, F2, F3 and F4) as factor and baseline 
PRO score and SVR12 status as covariates.
3.
Adherence to each tablet type (ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333, and RBV) during 
the Treatment Period will be calculated as the percentage of tablets taken relative to 
the total tablets expected to be taken for each tablet type.
8.1.2.3
Subgroup Analyses
Subgroup efficacy analyses on the clinical outcomes and the percentage of subjects 
achieving SVR12 will be performed as appropriate and useful.
8.1.2.4
Additional Efficacy Endpoints
The following additional efficacy endpoints will be summarized and analyzed:
●
The number and percentage of subjects meeting each and any of the following 
SVR12 non-response category:
○
On-treatment virologic failure (rebound or fail to suppress)
○
Relapse
○
Premature study drug discontinuation with no on-treatment virologic 
failure
○
Missing SVR12 data

Resistance
For subjects who do not achieve or maintain SVR12 and who are included in the analyses 
described below, the sample closest in time after virologic failure with an HCV RNA 
level ≥ 1000 IU/mL will be used if the HCV RNA level at the time of failure is 
< 1000 IU/mL.  The prototypic reference strains with their associated GenBank Accession 
IDs for sequence analyses are genotype 1a-H77 (NC_004102) and 1b-Con1 (AJ238799).
For each DAA target, resistance-associated signature amino acid variants will be 
identified by AbbVie Clinical Virology.  Amino acid positions where 
resistance-associated variants have been identified in vitro and/or in vivo are 1) for 
ABT-450:  36, 43, 56, 155, 156, and 168 in NS3 for genotype 1a; 56, 155, 156, and 168 in 
NS3 for genotype 1b; 2) for ABT-267:  28, 30, 31, 32, 58, and 93 in NS5A for 
genotype 1a; 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 58, and 93 in NS5A for genotype 1b; and 3) for 
ABT-333:  316, 414, 446, 448, 451, 553, 554, 555, 556, 558, 559, and 561 in NS5B for 
genotype 1a; 316, 368, 411, 414, 445, 448, 553, 556, 558, and 559 in NS5B for 
genotype 1b.
The following definitions will be used in the resistance analyses:
●
Baseline sample:  sample collected before the first dose of DAA study drug.
●
Baseline variant:  a variant in the baseline sample determined by comparison 
of the amino acid sequence of the baseline sample to the appropriate prototypic 
reference amino acid sequence for a given DAA target (NS3, NS5A, or 
NS5B).
●
Post-baseline variant:  an amino acid variant in a post-baseline time point 
sample that was not detected at baseline.
●
Linked variant by population sequencing:  variants at 2 or more signature 
resistance-associated amino acid positions identified within a target by 
population sequencing, and no mixture of amino acids is detected at any of 
these positions.

For those samples evaluated, a listing by subject of all baseline variants relative to 
prototypic reference sequence at signature resistance-associated amino acid positions will 
be provided for each DAA target (NS3, NS5A, and/or NS5B).  In addition, a summary of 
the number and percentage of subjects with each baseline variant at a signature 
resistance-associated amino acid position within each target by HCV subtype out of the 
total number of baseline samples sequenced will also be provided.
The HCV amino acid sequence at post-baseline time points with an HCV RNA level of 
≥1000 IU/mL that are analyzed will be compared to the baseline and appropriate 
prototypic reference amino acid sequences.  Listing by subject and time point of all 
post-baseline variants at signature resistance-associated amino acid positions relative to 
the baseline and to the appropriate prototypic reference amino acid sequences will be 
provided. 
Linkage between variants at signature resistance-associated amino acid positions by 
population sequencing will also be evaluated.  A listing by subject and time point of the 
linked variants by population sequencing will be provided.  In addition, a summary of the 
number and percentage of subjects with linked variants within each target by HCV 
subtype out of the total number of baseline samples sequenced will be provided.
The persistence of resistance-associated substitutions that emerged for each target (NS3, 
NS5A, and NS5B) will be assessed by population sequencing at selected post-treatment 
time points in a subset of subjects.  Listings by subject and time point of all post-baseline 
variants at signature resistance-associated amino acid positions relative to the baseline 
amino acid sequence will be provided for each DAA target (NS3, NS5A, and NS5B).
8.1.4
Safety
All subjects who receive at least one dose of study drug will be included in the safety 
analyses.

8.1.4.1
Adverse Events
Adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA).  The number and percentage of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse 
events (i.e., any 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 System 
Organ Class (SOC) and preferred term (PT).  The tabulation of the number of subjects 
with treatment-emergent adverse events by severity rating and relationship to study drug 
will also be provided.  Subjects reporting more than one adverse event for a given 
MedDRA preferred term will be counted only once for that term using the most severe 
incident for the severity rating table and the most related for the relationship to study drug 
table.  Subjects reporting more than one type of event within a SOC will be counted only 
once for that SOC.
Additional analyses will be performed if useful and appropriate.
8.1.4.2
Clinical Laboratory Data
Clinical laboratory tests will be summarized at each visit.  The baseline value will be the 
last measurement prior to the initial dose of study drug.  Mean changes from baseline to 
each Post-Baseline Visit will be summarized descriptively.
Laboratory data values collected during the Treatment Period will be categorized as low, 
normal, or high based on reference ranges of the laboratory used in this study.  The 
number and percent of subjects who experience post-baseline shifts during treatment in 
clinical laboratory values from low/normal to high and high/normal to low based on the 
normal range will be summarized.
In addition, the number and percentage of subjects with post-baseline values meeting 
pre-specified criteria for Potentially Clinically Significant laboratory values during 
treatment will be summarized.  Additional analyses will be performed if useful and 
appropriate.

8.1.4.3
Vital Signs Data
Mean changes in temperature, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse, and weight 
from baseline to each Post-Baseline Visit will be summarized descriptively.  Number and 
percentages of subjects with post-baseline values meeting pre-defined criteria for 
Potentially Clinically Significant vital signs values during treatment will be summarized.  
8.2
Determination of Sample Size
Assuming 4% of subjects do not achieve SVR12 and assuming the 5-year composite event 
rate of all clinical outcomes is 20% in non-SVR12 subjects and 75% of reduction in SVR12
subjects (Hazard Ratio of 0.25),16,17 then based on two sample log rank test in EAST 6.0, 
a sample size of at least 2,000 subjects overall enrolled in the TOPAZ-I and TOPAZ-II 
studies provides greater than 80% power to reject the null hypothesis of no difference 
between SVR12 and non-SVR12 subjects in the rate of clinical outcome events.  Power 
calculations were based on a dropout rate of up to 20%.
8.3
Randomization Methods
This is a single arm, open-label study.  Therefore, there is no randomization in this study.  
Enrolled subjects will receive treatment per the planned study schematic outlined in 
Section 5.1.  Enrolled subjects will also receive a Care Plan based on the level assessment 
as described in Section 5.3.1.1.  The Care Plan level may be adjusted as needed 
throughout the trial until subjects have completed their Post-Treatment Week 12 visit.

Has been changed to read:
For this reason, in previous versions of the protocol, HCV GT1a-infected subjects with 
compensated cirrhosis and who were prior null responders to IFN/RBV were assigned to 
receive 3-DAA with RBV for 24 weeks, while HCV GT1a-infected subjects with 
compensated cirrhosis who were not prior null responders to IFN/RBV were assigned to 
received 3-DAA with RBV for 12 weeks.  In order to align the treatment duration for 
subjects with GT1a infection and compensated cirrhosis with the recommended treatment 
duration that is found in the US prescribing information for the recently-approved AbbVie 
product containing the regimen included in this study (i.e., ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and 
ABT-333), the protocol now specifies that all HCV GT1a-infected subjects with

Introduction
This statistical analysis plan (SAP) describes the statistical analyses to be completed by 
AbbVie Statistics and Statistical Programming for Study Protocol M14-222.  
Study M14-222 (TOPAZ-II) and companion Study M14-423 (TOPAZ-I) are designed 
together and shares the primary objective of evaluating the effect of treatment response 
(assessed by the status of SVR12, i.e., HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) < lower limit of 
quantification [LLOQ] 12 weeks following treatment) on long-term clinical outcomes in 
adults with genotype 1 (GT1) chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who received 
treatment with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or without ribavirin, as measured 
by all-cause death, liver-related death, liver decompensation, liver transplantation, and 
hepatocellular carcinoma. 
In the TOPAZ-I and TOPAZ-II studies, the primary objective is to be assessed, based on 
the data from both studies combined.  The studies differ based on geographic region (this 
study will be conducted in the US while the TOPAZ-I study will be conducted outside the 
US) and based on certain procedures that are not related to the primary outcome.  For 
example, this study will utilize a Subject Care Plan Model to facilitate subjects' adherence 
to the study drug and the TOPAZ-II study will assess the long-term change from baseline 
in liver elastography.  
This SAP provides details to guide the analyses for baseline, efficacy, and safety variables 
and describes the populations and variables that will be analyzed and the statistical 
methods that will be utilized.  An interim analysis (after all subjects reach Post-Treatment 
[PT] Week 12 or prematurely discontinue the study) and an end of study analysis will be 
conducted for Study M14-222.  Analyses will be performed using SAS® Version 9.3 
(SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC) or later under the UNIX operating system.

Study Objectives, Design and Procedures
4.1
Objectives
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of virologic response to 
treatment (assessed by SVR12 status) on the long-term progression of liver disease in 
adults with chronic HCV GT1 infection who receive treatment with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 
and ABT-333 with or without ribavirin, as measured by all-cause death, liver-related 
death, liver decompensation, liver transplantation, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
The secondary objectives are to evaluate the sustained virologic response in adults with 
GT1 chronic HCV infection who receive ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 with or 
without ribavirin, to assess the change from baseline in quality of life and fatigue 
following treatment assessed by Short-Form 36 Version 2 health survey (SF-36v2) and 
the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Fatigue (FACIT–F) 
questionnaires, respectively) by baseline fibrosis stage, and to assess adherence to the 
prescribed regimen (measured by pill counts for each type of tablet).  Sustained virologic 
response is evaluated by the percentage of subjects achieving SVR12.
4.2
Design Diagram
Study M14-222 is a Phase 3b, open-label, multi-center study, which is designed together 
with companion Study M14-423 (TOPAZ-I) to share the primary objective of assessing 
the effect of treatment response on long-term clinical outcomes in adults with 
GT1 chronic HCV infection with or without compensated cirrhosis, who are either 
treatment-naïve or IFN/ribavirin (IFN or peg IFN/RBV) treatment-experienced.  
Approximately 600 subjects will be enrolled in Study M14-222 at approximately 50 sites 
in the US.  At least 100, but no more than 150 cirrhotic subjects with fibrosis stage of F4 
will be allowed to enroll.  At least 50, but no more than 110 subjects with fibrosis stage of 
F3 will be allowed to enroll. 
As shown in Figure 1, subjects meeting eligibility criteria will be enrolled to either 12 or 
24 weeks of treatment according to HCV subgenotype and presence of cirrhosis.  Subjects 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015

who receive at least one dose of study drug will be followed in the Post-Treatment Period 
for up to 5 years (PT Week 260).
Figure 1.
Study Schematic
The duration of the study will be 272 weeks (for subjects receiving a 12-week treatment) 
or 284 weeks (for subjects receiving a 24-week treatment), not including a screening 
period of up to 42 days, consisting of a 12-week or 24-week Treatment Period and a 
260-week Post Treatment (PT) Period for all subjects who receive at least one dose of 
study drug.
Treatment Period
Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will be enrolled to either 12 or 24 weeks of 
combination therapy with or without RBV as described in Table 1.  All HCV 
GT1-infected subjects who are either treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced will 
receive ABT-450/r/ABT-267 150/100/25 mg once daily (QD) and ABT-333 250 mg 
twice daily (BID).  Subjects with HCV GT1a infection and all GT1-infected subjects with 
compensated cirrhosis will also receive RBV with weight-based dosing 1000 or 1200 mg 
BID.
The treatment duration will be 12 weeks for all subjects except GT1a-infected subjects 
with compensated cirrhosis who will receive treatment for 24 weeks unless a treatment 
duration of 12 weeks is selected by the investigator based on subject's prior treatment 
history.  Subjects will receive study drug regimens according to criteria listed in Table 1.

**
Treatment for 12 weeks may be considered for some patients based on prior treatment history.
Post-Treatment Period
Subjects who receive at least one dose of study drug in the Treatment Period and either 
complete treatment or prematurely discontinue study drug will be followed in the 
Post-Treatment Period for up to 260 weeks.  At the Post-Treatment visits subjects will be 
monitored for antiviral response, assessment of patient reported outcomes (PROs), and 
clinical outcomes, including all-cause death, liver-related death, and occurrence of liver 
decompensation, liver transplantation and hepatocellular carcinoma. 
The Post-Treatment Period will begin the day following the last dose of study drug 
treatment.
4.3
Sample Size
Assuming 4% of subjects do not achieve SVR12 and assuming the 5-year event rate of the 
composite clinical outcome is 20% in the non-SVR12 subjects, with a 75% reduction in 
SVR12 subjects (Hazard Ratio of 0.25),1,2 then based on two-sample log rank test (using 
EAST 6.0), a sample size of at least 2000 subjects enrolled in TOPAZ-I (planned to enroll 
1650 subjects) and TOPAZ II (planned to enroll 600 subjects) provides greater than 80% 
power to reject the null hypothesis of no difference between SVR12 and non-SVR12

subjects in the rate of clinical outcome events.  Power calculations were based on a 
dropout rate of up to 20% for the hazard ratio.
4.4
Planned Analysis
The primary analysis to evaluate the effect of response to treatment on clinical outcomes 
will occur at the final analysis after all subjects have completed the study or prematurely 
discontinued the study.  An interim analysis to assess the percentage of subjects achieving 
SVR12 will occur after all subjects have completed the Post-Treatment Week 12 Visit or 
prematurely discontinued the study.  For both final and interim analyses, data will be 
locked after performing appropriate data cleaning.  Data after the interim analysis will be 
added to a subsequent version of the database.  SAS® (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC) for 
the UNIX operating system will be used for all analyses.  All statistical tests and all 
confidence intervals will be two-sided with an α level of 0.05.  
All analyses will be conducted by statisticians and statistical programmers at AbbVie or 
the designee according to the methodologies specified in this SAP.  There is no intention 
of shortening the follow-up time of subjects based on efficacy findings from the interim 
analysis.  The intention is to follow all subjects who receive study drug for 260 weeks 
following treatment.  There will be no statistical adjustment employed due to this interim 
analysis.

Analysis Populations
5.1
Definition for Analysis Populations
5.1.1
Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population
The intent-to-treat (ITT) population will consist of all enrolled subjects in this study 
(ITT-II) and companion study TOPAZ-I (ITT-I) who receive at least one dose of study 
drug.  
The primary efficacy analysis on clinical outcomes will be performed on the ITT 
population that combines ITT-I and ITT-II.

5.1.2
Intent-to-Treat-II (ITT-II) Population
The ITT-II population will consist of all subjects enrolled in this study who receive at 
least one dose of study drug.  The data from the ITT-II population will be presented in 
one column for all subjects regardless of treatment duration and RBV use.
All efficacy, patient reported outcomes and resistance analyses, except for the primary 
efficacy analysis, will be performed on the ITT-II population.  In addition, sensitivity 
analyses of SVR12 will be performed on the Modified Intent-to-Treat-II Genotype 
(mITT-II-GT) population and Modified Intent-to-Treat-II Genotype and Virologic Failure 
(mITT-II-GT + VF) population, respectively, as specified in Section 10.6.   
5.1.3
Safety Population
All subjects in this study who receive at least one dose of study drug will be included in 
the safety population.  If all subjects take the treatment to which they were assigned, the 
safety population will be the same as the ITT-II population.  Safety analyses will be 
performed on the safety population and be presented also for all subjects together.
Demographic and safety analyses will be performed on the safety population.
5.2
Variables Used for Stratification of Randomization
Approximately 600 subjects will be enrolled to receive ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and 
ABT-333 with or without RBV depending on their HCV genotype and cirrhotic status.  
No stratification of randomization is utilized for this study.

Analysis Conventions
6.1
Baseline and Final Value
6.1.1
Baseline
The baseline value refers to the last non-missing measurement collected before the 
first dose of study drug.  All assessments on Study Day 1 should be performed prior to 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015
11
administering the first dose of study drug, in accordance with the protocol.  The baseline 
value is therefore determined by the last non-missing measurement collected on or before 
the first day of study drug administration. 
If multiple measurements are recorded on the same day, the last measurement recorded 
prior to dosing will be used as the baseline value.  If these multiple measurements occur at 
the same time or time is not available, then the average of these measurements (for 
continuous data) or the worst among these measurements (for categorical data) will be 
considered as the baseline value.  This same baseline value will be used for Treatment and 
PT Periods.
Safety assessments that are related to a serious adverse event that occurs on the first dose 
day are excluded when applying this algorithm.
6.1.2
Study Days
Study days (days relative to the first dose of study drug) are calculated for each time point 
relative to the first dose of study drug.  Study Days are negative values when the time 
point of interest is prior to the first study drug dose day.  Study Days are positive values 
when the time point of interest is after the first study drug dose day.  There is no Study 
Day 0.  Study Day 1 is the day of the first dose of study drug.
6.1.3
Study Drug End Days
For all subjects who receive at least one dose of study drug, study drug end days (days 
relative to the last dose of study drug) are calculated relative to the last dose of study drug.  
The last day of study drug is defined as Study Drug End Day 0.  Days before it have 
negative study drug end days and days after it have positive study drug end days.
6.1.4
Final Treatment Value
The final treatment value for each subject is the last non-missing measurement collected 
after Study Day 1 and on or before Study Drug End Day 2.


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015
12
6.1.5
Final Post-Treatment Value
The final post-treatment value for each subject is the last non-missing measurement 
collected after Study Drug End Day 2. 
6.2
Analysis Windows
For efficacy analyses of HCV RNA and resistance, the time windows specified in Table 2
and Table 3 describe how efficacy data are assigned to protocol-specified time points 
during the Treatment and PT Periods, respectively.  All time points and corresponding 
time windows are defined based on the blood sample collection date.
For analyses of health-related quality of life (QoL) PROs collected throughout the study, 
the time windows specified in Table 4 will be used.
For laboratory and vital signs data, the time windows specified in Table 5 and Table 6
describe how data are assigned to protocol specified time points during the Treatment and 
PT Periods, respectively.
If more than one assessment is included in a time window, the assessment closest to the 
nominal time will be used.  If there are two observations equally distant to the nominal 
time, the latest one will be used in analyses.  The only exception to this is for the SVR 
windows (e.g., SVR4, SVR12, and SVR24); for these windows, the last value in the
window will be used.
If multiple measurements are made on the same day for a safety laboratory parameter or a 
vital sign parameter, the average of the values will be used in analyses.  For summaries of 
shifts from baseline and potentially significant values, multiple values on the same day 
will not be averaged; all values will be considered for these analyses.

Vital signs and hematology, chemistry, urinalysis, and coagulation panels are collected at every 
Post-Treatment Period visit. Total Insulin is collected at Post Treatment Weeks 52, 104, 156, 208, and 
260 and will use those visit windows as defined above.  FibroTest samples are collected at Post-Treatment 
Weeks 12 and 24 (or upon study discontinuation) and will use those visit windows as defined above.
6.3
Missing Data Imputation
No data will be imputed for any efficacy or safety analyses except for the PRO 
questionnaires, for analyses of the HCV RNA endpoints, and for analysis of the 
persistence of resistance.  If a respondent answers at least 50% of the items in a multi-item 
scale of the SF-36v2, the missing items will be imputed with the average score of the 
answered items in the same scale.  In cases where the respondent did not answer at least 
50% of the items, the score for that domain will be considered missing.  Similarly, the 
missing items of the FACIT-F questionnaire will be imputed with the average score of the 
answered items in the same scale as long as more than 50% (≥ 7 out of 13) of the items in 
the scale are answered.  The SF-36v2 Mental and Physical Component Summary 
measures will not be computed if any domain is missing.


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015

HCV RNA values will be selected for an SVR analysis based on visit windows as defined 
in Section 6.2.  When there is no HCV RNA value in a visit window based on defined 
visit windows, 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 subject has a missing HCV RNA value at a post-Day 1 visit but with undetectable or 
unquantifiable HCV RNA levels at both the preceding value and succeeding value, the 
HCV RNA level will be considered undetectable or unquantifiable, respectively, at this 
visit for this subject.  In addition, if a subject has an unquantifiable HCV RNA level at the 
preceding value and an undetectable HCV RNA level at the succeeding value, or vice 
versa, the HCV RNA level will be imputed as unquantifiable at this visit for this subject.  
For SVR analysis, if there is no value in the appropriate window after flanking imputation 
but there is an HCV RNA value after the window, then it will be imputed into the SVR 
window.  Subsequent to this flanking imputation, if a subject is missing a value for the 
visit window associated with the analysis, the subject will be imputed as a visit failure 
(i.e., not undetectable or unquantifiable).  
If a subject starts another treatment for HCV, then all HCV RNA values for this subject 
measured on or after the start date of the new HCV treatment will be excluded from 
analyses.  The subject will be considered a failure for summaries of viral response at all 
time points after the start of the new HCV treatment.
HCV RNA < LLOQ Analyses for SVR
If a subject is missing an HCV RNA value for the visit window associated with the 
analysis of SVR after performing the imputations described above, then this value will be 
imputed with an HCV RNA value from a local laboratory if present; otherwise, the HCV 
RNA value for this visit will be missing.  Subjects with missing HCV RNA data in the 
analysis window, after imputations, will be imputed as a failure.

HCV RNA Analyses for Relapse and Virologic Failure
If HCV RNA values from the central laboratory are missing but a local laboratory value is 
present in the appropriate time period, then the local laboratory value will be used to 
assess post-treatment relapse and on-treatment virologic failure.
Finally, missing sequence data will be imputed as follows in the analysis of the 
persistence of resistance from the sequences from PT Week 52 through PT Week 260 
(5 years).  If a signature variant is not detectable by population, clonal or deep sequencing 
at PT Week 24 (or later), the variant is imputed as not detectable at the PT Week 52 (or 
timepoints after the sequence with the variant not detectable) and time points thereafter if 
a sample from Post-Treatment Week 52 or later is not sequenced.  If a signature variant is 
detectable by population, clonal, or deep sequencing at Post-Treatment Week 52 or later, 
then the variant is imputed as being detectable at earlier time points if the sample at the 
earlier time point is not sequenced.

Demographics, Baseline Characteristics, Medical 
History, and Previous/Concomitant Medications
Demographics, baseline characteristics, medical history, and previous/concomitant 
medications will be summarized overall and by presence of cirrhosis and genotype 1 
subtype on the safety population.
7.1
Demographic and Baseline Characteristics
Demographics include age, weight, height and BMI as continuous variables, and sex, race, 
ethnicity, age category ([< 55 years or ≥ 55 years] and [< 65 or ≥ 65 years]), birth year 
(< 1945, 1945 to 1965, > 1965), country, and BMI category (< 30 kg/m2 or ≥ 30 kg/m2).
Baseline characteristics will include:  HCV genotype 1 subtype (1a, 1b, 1-other), IL28B 
genotype ([CC, CT, or TT] and [CC or non-CC]), prior treatment history(treatment-naïve 
[IFN-eligible, IFN-ineligible] or IFN-based treatment-experienced [null responder, partial 
responder, relapser, relapse/breakthrough, nonresponder, IFN or pegIFN intolerant]),

≥ 150 × 109/L), tobacco (user, ex-user, or non-user) and alcohol (drinker, ex-drinker, or 
non-drinker) use status, history of diabetes, history of depression or bipolar disorder, 
history of bleeding disorders, AST to platelet ratio index (APRI) (continuous; ≤2.0 or 
> 2.0), and Fibrosis-4 score (FIB-4) (continuous; ≤ 3.25 or > 3.25).
Subjects' HCV genotype and subtype may be assessed based on the Inno-LiPA 2.0 Assay 
used by the Central lab, the ARUP Assay for Hepatitis C High-Resolution Genotype by 
the Central lab and/or from phylogenetic analysis of the full length NS3/4a, NS5A, and/or 
NS5B sequences performed by AbbVie.  If the phylogenetic analysis is available it will be 
used to determine the subject's HCV genotype and subtype.  If it is not available, then the 
ARUP assay result will be used to determine the subject's HCV genotype and subtype, if 
available.  Finally, if neither the phylogenetic analysis result nor the ARUP assay results 
are available, then the Inno-LIPA assay results will be used to categorize the subject.
Subjects' baseline fibrosis stage will be assessed by investigator during the screening 
period and categorized as F0 – F1, F2, F3, or F4.  
Baseline Child-Pugh score is determined by the Day 1 assessment of ascites and hepatic 
encephalopathy along with the baseline values of total bilirubin, serum albumin, and 
international normalized ratio (INR).  The Child-Pugh score is the sum of the point 
assigned for each of the five observed findings as defined in Table 7.

study drug and continued to be taken after the first dose of study drug or any medication 
that started on or after the date of the first dose of study drug, but not after the date of the 
last (maximum) dose of study drug.  Concomitant medications will be summarized for all 
subjects in the Safety population.  The number and percentage of subjects taking prior or 
concomitant medications will be summarized by generic drug name based on the WHO 
Drug Dictionary.  Note that prior HCV medications (IFN, pegIFN and RBV) will be 
summarized separately from other prior medications.
Medications for the treatment of HCV will be collected in the PT Period and will be
summarized by generic drug name.  A post-treatment medication for the treatment of 
HCV is defined as any medication taken on or after the last dose of study drug and entered 
as "Post treatment HCV medications" on the eCRF.

Study Drug Exposure and Compliance
9.1
Exposure
The duration of exposure to study drug will be summarized for the safety population.  
Duration of exposure is defined for each subject as the last study drug dose date minus the 
first study drug dose date plus 1 day.
Descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum, and maximum) will be presented.  
Study drug duration also will be summarized with frequencies and percentages using the 
following categories depending on the treatment duration:
●
12 weeks of treatment: 1 to 15 days, 16 to 30 days, 31 to 45 days, 46 to 
60 days, 61 to 76 days, and > 76 days.
●
24 weeks of treatment: 1 to 15 days, 16 to 30 days, 31 to 60 days, 61 to 
90 days, 91 to 120 days, 121 to 153 days, and > 153 days.
9.2
Compliance
At each protocol-specified visit, the total number of tablets dispensed and returned is 
recorded together for ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333, and is recorded separately for 
RBV.  The compliance for ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 combined and the 
compliance for RBV within the Treatment Period will be calculated as the percentage of 
tablets taken (presumed as [tablets dispensed-tablets returned]) relative to the total 
capsules or tablets, respectively, expected to be taken.  The total number of tablets 
prescribed will be equal to the total number of tablets that should have been taken per the 
protocol for the duration that the subject was in the Treatment Period (date of last dose –
date of first dose + 1 day).  Study drug interruptions due to an adverse event or other 
planned interruptions recorded on the eCRF will be subtracted from the duration.  For 
compliance to RBV, RBV dose modifications due to adverse events, toxicity 
management, or weight changes as recorded on the RBV Dose Modifications eCRF will 
be used to modify the total number of tablets that should have been taken.  A subject is 
considered to be compliant if the percentage is between 80% and 120%.  Compliance will

be calculated for each subject and summarized with the n, mean, median, SD, minimum, 
and maximum.  In addition, the percentage of compliant subjects will be calculated 
separately for ABT-450/r/ABT-267 + ABT-333, and RBV.

Efficacy Analysis
10.1
General Considerations
The primary efficacy analysis on clinical outcomes will be performed on all subjects in 
the ITT population as defined in Section 5.1.  All other efficacy analyses will be 
performed on the ITT-II population. 
Treatment effects will be evaluated based on a two-sided significance level of 0.05 (when 
rounded to three decimal places).  The data from the ITT-II population will be presented 
in one column/row as it represents the labelled treatment. 
Plasma HCV RNA levels will be determined for each sample collected by the central 
laboratory using the COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® HCV Test, v2.0.  The 
lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) and the lower limit of detection (LLOD) is 
15 IU/mL.  HCV RNA results that are detectable but not quantifiable are reported as 
"< 15 IU/mL" and results that are not detectable are reported as "-NON-DETECTED."
Assessment of Clinical Outcomes
Incidence of the following clinical outcome events will be collected during the 
12/24 weeks of treatment and the 5-year (PT Week 260) Post-Treatment Period.  The data 
reported on the "Clinical Outcome" eCRFs will be adjudicated by an independent 
outcome committee and results of the adjudication will be added to the "Clinical 
Outcome" eCRFs:
●
All-cause death:  Death due to any cause.
●
Liver-related death:  Death as the result of a liver-related cause.
●
Liver decompensation:  Development of any of the following conditions:  
ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding.

M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015
26
●
Liver transplantation:  any subject who had a liver transplantation
●
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC):  development of HCC in any subject at any 
time during the study.  HCC is defined by histologic confirmation or a > 1 cm 
mass lesion on cross-sectional imaging that meets the diagnostic criteria for 
HCC according to EASL guidelines.
●
Composite of any of the above outcomes.
Definitions for HCV RNA Efficacy Endpoints
Note that a confirmed quantifiable post-treatment value is defined as two consecutive 
post-treatment HCV RNA measurements ≥ LLOQ.  During treatment, a confirmed 
quantifiable value is defined as any two consecutive HCV RNA values ≥ LLOQ, either 
both during treatment or at the final treatment measurement and the next consecutive 
post-treatment measurement.
Breakthrough = confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after HCV RNA < LLOQ during 
treatment, or confirmed increase from nadir in HCV RNA (two consecutive HCV RNA 
measurements > 1 log10 IU/mL above nadir) at any time point during treatment.  A single 
breakthrough value (≥ LLOQ or > 1 log10 IU/mL above nadir) followed by lost to 
follow-up will be considered a breakthrough (i.e., will not require confirmation). 
On-treatment virologic failure = breakthrough or failure to suppress during treatment 
(all on-treatment values of HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ) with at least 6 weeks (defined as study 
drug duration ≥ 36 days) of treatment.
RVR (rapid virologic response) = HCV RNA < LLOQ in the Week 4 window.
EOTR (end of treatment response) = HCV RNA < LLOQ in the Week 12 window for 
subjects receiving 12 weeks of treatment and in the Week 24 window for subjects 
receiving 24 weeks of treatment.


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015
27
SVR4 = HCV RNA < LLOQ in the SVR4 window (4 weeks after the last actual dose of 
study drug) without any confirmed quantifiable (≥ LLOQ) post-treatment value during 
that SVR window.
SVR12 = HCV RNA < LLOQ in the SVR12 window (12 weeks after the last actual dose of 
study drug) without any confirmed quantifiable (≥ LLOQ) post-treatment value before or 
during that SVR window.
SVR24 = HCV RNA < LLOQ in the SVR24 window (24 weeks after the last actual dose of 
study drug) without any confirmed quantifiable (≥ LLOQ) post-treatment value before or 
during that SVR window. 
Relapse12 = confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ between end of treatment and 12 weeks after 
last actual dose of active study drug (up to and including the SVR12 assessment time 
point) for a subject with HCV RNA < LLOQ at Final Treatment Visit who completes 
treatment.  
Relapse24 = confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during SVR24 window among subjects who 
achieved SVR12 and have data available during the SVR24 window.
Relapselate = confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ at any time after the SVR24 assessment time 
point for a subject who achieved SVR24 and has post-SVR24 HCV RNA data available.
Relapseoverall = confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ between end of treatment and up to and 
including the last HCV RNA measurement collected in the PT Period for a subject with 
HCV RNA < LLOQ at Final Treatment Visit who completes treatment.  Also, include a 
summary of Relapseoverall for subjects who prematurely discontinued treatment (< 77 days 
for subjects assigned to 12 weeks of treatment and < 154 days for subjects assigned to 
24 weeks of treatment).  
For relapse analyses, the completion of treatment is defined as a study drug duration 
≥77 days for subjects assigned to 12 weeks of treatment and ≥ 154 days for subjects 
assigned to 24 weeks of treatment.  If the last available post treatment value is ≥ LLOQ,

then the subject will be considered a relapse (i.e., will not require confirmation).  Relapse 
analyses will exclude subjects who do not have any post-treatment HCV RNA values. 
Reasons for SVR12 Non-Response
Subjects who do not achieve SVR12 (SVR12 non-responders) will be categorized as 
having: 
1.
On-treatment virologic failure (see On-treatment virologic failure definition);
2.
Relapse (defined according to the Relapse12 definition for subjects who complete 
treatment);
3.
Prematurely discontinued study drug with no on-treatment virologic failure 
(defined as any SVR12 non-responder who prematurely discontinued study drug 
(duration < 77 days for subjects assigned to 12 weeks of treatment or duration 
< 154 days for subjects assigned to 24 weeks of treatment) and did not meet the 
On-treatment virologic failure definition);
4.
Missing follow-up data in the SVR12 window (defined as any subject who 
completed study drug without data in the SVR12 window and not meeting the 
definitions of [1], [2], or [3]);
5.
Other (defined as any SVR12 non-responder not meeting the definitions of [1] – [4], 
such as a subject with a single quantifiable value within the SVR12 window 
followed by an undetectable value beyond the SVR12 window).
Reasons for SVR24 Non-Response
Subjects who do not achieve SVR24 (SVR24 non-responders) will be categorized as 
having: 
1.
On-treatment virologic failure (see On-treatment virologic failure definition);
2.
Relapse (defined according to the Relapse12 definition for subjects who complete 
treatment);

(defined as any SVR24 non-responder who prematurely discontinued study drug 
and did not meet the On-treatment virologic failure, Relapse12, or Relapse24
definitions);

Handling of Multiplicity
No adjustment for multiple comparisons is used in this open-label long-term outcome 
study.
10.3
Primary Efficacy Analysis
The primary efficacy analysis will be conducted among subjects in the ITT population as 
described in Section 5.1.  HCV RNA values and SVR12 will be imputed as described in 
Section 6.3.
The primary efficacy endpoint is to assess the effect of response to treatment (as assessed 
by SVR12 status) on clinical outcomes by comparing the time to incidence of the 
following events between subjects who achieve SVR12 and those who do not.
●
All-cause death
●
Liver-related death
●
Liver decompensation
●
Liver transplantation
●
Hepatocellular carcinoma

●
Composite of any of the above outcomes
For each of the six event types as listed above, a subject's time to event will be defined as 
the number of days from the first day of study drug dosing for the subject to the day the 
subject experiences an event of interest.  All events of interest will be included, regardless 
of whether the event occurred while the subject is still taking study drug or has previously 
discontinued study drug.  If the subject does not experience an event of interest nor has 
the subject died (all-cause death), the subject's data will be censored at the date of the 
subject's last available assessment of clinical outcomes.  For subjects with no 
post-baseline assessment, the subject's data will be censored on the first day of study drug 
dosing.  All-cause death is a censoring event for liver-related death, liver decompensation, 
liver transplantation and hepatocellular carcinoma.  Time to the composite of clinical 
outcomes is the time to the first occurrence of any clinical outcome.
For each of the six event types, the distribution of time to event will be estimated for 
subjects who have achieved SVR12 and those who haven't using Kaplan-Meier 
methodology and compared between the subjects who have achieved SVR12 and those 
who haven't using the log-rank test.
For each of the six event types, the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year event-free survival rate will 
be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology and a 95% confidence interval will be 
constructed separately for those who have achieved SVR12 and those who have not.  For 
each of the six event types, a Cox proportional hazards (PH) model will be constructed to 
include all the baseline characteristics as described in Section 7.1, SVR12 status, and other 
variables as appropriate.
10.4
Secondary Efficacy Analyses
The following analyses of secondary efficacy endpoints will be performed on the ITT-II 
population:
●
The percentage of subjects achieving SVR12 (HCV RNA < LLOQ 12 weeks 
after the last actual dose of study drug).  The simple percentage of subjects 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015

achieving SVR12 will be calculated and a two-sided 95% confidence interval of 
the percentage will be computed based on Wilson's score method.  
●
The mean change from baseline in quality of life and fatigue to Post-Treatment 
Week 12 and to the Post-Treatment Week 24 (assessed by Short-Form 36 
Version 2 health survey [SF-36v2] and the Functional Assessment of Chronic 
Illness Therapy – Fatigue [FACIT–F] questionnaires, respectively) will be 
assessed by subjects' baseline fibrosis stage, as described in Section 10.8.
●
Adherence to ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 combined and adherence to 
RBV within the Treatment Period will be calculated as the percentage of 
tablets taken relative to the total tablets expected to be taken, as described in 
Section 9.2.
10.5

The analysis on SVR12 status as described in Section 10.4 will be performed on the ITT-II 
population for the following subgroups (assessed at baseline), as appropriate:
●

Each subgroup analysis will be performed if there are an adequate number of subjects 
within each subgroup.  The two-sided 95% Wilson score confidence interval for a 
binomial proportion (percentage of subjects achieving SVR12) will be produced if there 
are at least 10 subjects in the subgroup.
In addition, stepwise logistic regression will be performed on both SVR12 and virologic 
failure (on-treatment virologic failure or relapse) using subgroup variables described

above as predictors of response.  Some variables will be treated as continuous to decrease 
the chance of separation or quasi-separation and some variables may be eliminated if 
missing for many subjects.
10.6
Sensitivity Analysis for the Efficacy Endpoint of SVR12
In addition to presenting the secondary efficacy endpoint of SVR12 as described in 
Section 10.4, two sensitivity analyses of SVR12 will be presented using the following 
modified populations.  The first sensitivity analysis of SVR12 will be conducted using a 
Modified Intent-to-Treat Genotype (mITT-GT) population that includes subjects who 
receive at least 1 dose of study drug (with imputation as described in Section 6.3) but 
excludes the subjects who are not of HCV genotype 1 infection.  The mITT-GT 
population is used to reduce the risk of bias that could occur due to enrolled population 
deviating from the protocol selected study population. 
The other sensitivity analysis of SVR12 will be conducted using a Modified Intent-to-Treat 
Genotype and Virologic Failure (mITT-GT + VF) population.  The mITT-GT + VF 
population is used to reduce the risk of bias that could occur due to either discordant HCV 
genotype or irrelevant failures unrelated to study drug.  The mITT-GT + VF population 
includes all subjects who receive at least 1 dose of study drug (with imputation as 
described in Section 6.3) but excludes the subjects who are not of HCV genotype 1 
infection and the subjects who were categorized as "prematurely discontinued study drug 
with no on-treatment virologic failure" and "missing follow-up data in the PT Period."
10.7
Additional Efficacy Analyses
The following additional HCV RNA efficacy endpoints will be summarized and analyzed 
on the ITT-II population, as specified:
●
The number and percentage of subjects with on-treatment virologic failure;
●
The number and percentage of subjects with post-treatment relapse;
●
The number and percentage of subjects with RVR;
●
The number and percentage of subject with EOTR;


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015
34
●
The number and percentage with unquantifiable HCV RNA at each 
post-baseline visit throughout the Treatment Period (using data from the 
central laboratory as observed, i.e., no imputation for missing data);
●
The percentage of subjects with HCV RNA < LLOQ 24 weeks after the last 
actual dose of study drug (SVR24);
●
Reasons for not achieving SVR24 for subjects who do not; 
●
Mean change from baseline in prothrombin time/International normalized ratio 
(PT/INR), FibroTest and albumin to each applicable post-baseline time point;
●
The number of subjects who fail to suppress and accompanying listing;
●
The number of subjects who breakthrough any time during treatment and 
accompanying listing;
●
The number of completers with final on-treatment HCV RNA < LLOQ who 
relapse within the SVR4 window, SVR12 window, or SVR24 window and 
accompanying listing;
●
The concordance between SVR12 and SVR24 will be assessed. 
In the above analyses that use the number and percentage of responders, two-sided 95% 
Wilson score confidence interval for a binomial proportion will be calculated.  
Imputations for missing data will be performed as described in Section 6.3 for analyses of 
SVR, RVR, and EOTR where a missing response will be imputed as a failure after 
performing the described imputation.  All other endpoints will be presented using data as 
observed.  For the change from baseline to each post-baseline time point in PT/INR, 
Fibrotest, and albumin, descriptive statistics will be calculated.
The number and percent of subjects who fail to suppress HCV RNA and received at least 
6 weeks of treatment (active study drug duration ≥ 36 days) will be tabulated along with 
the subject numbers corresponding to the subjects who failed to suppress.
The number of subjects who breakthrough at any time during treatment and within each 
protocol-specified visit (defined in Table 2) will be summarized along with a 
corresponding listing displaying the subject numbers at the first occurrence of 
breakthrough.


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015
35
The number of completers (defined as study drug duration ≥ 77 days for subjects assigned 
to 12 weeks of treatment and ≥ 154 days for subjects assigned to 24 weeks of treatment) 
with final on treatment HCV RNA < LLOQ who relapse within the SVR4 window, within 
the SVR12 window, within the SVR24 window (defined in Table 3), after the SVR24
window and anytime post-treatment (study drug end day ≥ 3) will be summarized along 
with a corresponding listing displaying the first occurrence of relapse.  A similar table and 
listing will be provided of Preterm Relapses for subjects who do not complete treatment 
(defined as study drug duration < 77 days for subjects assigned to 12 weeks of treatment 
and < 154 days for subjects assigned to 24 weeks of treatment) with HCV RNA < LLOQ 
at the Final Treatment visit.
The concordance between SVR12 and SVR24 will be assessed by agreement between 
SVR12 and SVR24 and by the positive predictive value (PPV) and the negative predictive 
value (NPV) of SVR12 on SVR24.  The agreement between SVR12 and SVR24 is defined as 
the number of subjects achieving both SVR12 and SVR24 and the number of subjects not 
achieving both SVR12 and SVR24 out of all subjects in the ITT-II population.  The PPV of 
SVR12 on SVR24 is the proportion of subjects who achieve SVR24 out of all subjects who 
achieved SVR12.  The NPV of SVR12 on SVR24 is the proportion of subjects who do not 
achieve SVR24 out of all subjects who do no achieve SVR12.
10.8
Resistance Analyses
If possible, subjects treated with study drug during the Treatment Period who experience 
virologic failure will have resistance testing conducted if 1) they have on-treatment 
breakthrough; 2) if they have post-treatment relapse, with a study drug duration ≥ 77 days 
for subjects assigned to 12 weeks of treatment or with a study drug duration ≥ 154 days 
for subjects assigned to 24 weeks of treatment; or 3) if they have at least 6 weeks of 
treatment and fail to suppress by Week 6 (i.e., meet virologic stopping criteria).  Subjects 
meeting one of these criteria will be referred to as subjects in the primary virologic failure 
(PVF) population, and a listing by subject that includes HCV subgenotype, IL28B 
genotype, reason for non-response, time point(s) sequenced as closest to time of VF, and 
HCV RNA value at the VF time point(s) will be produced for these subjects.  In addition, 


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015
36
all listings described below will display HCV subgenotype and reason for non-response in 
the subject identifier for each subject.  A separate listing will delineate all subjects in the 
PVF population for whom no sequencing was performed (e.g., lost to follow-up while 
HCV RNA ≤ 1000 IU/mL).
Only samples with an HCV RNA level of ≥ 1000 IU/mL will undergo sequence analysis 
in order to allow accurate assessment of products of amplification.  Therefore if the HCV 
RNA level at the time of virologic failure (VF) is < 1000 IU/mL, the sample closest in 
time after the failure with an HCV RNA level ≥ 1000 IU/mL will be used if available.  If 
deep sequencing is not performed, clonal sequencing of a given target will be performed 
only if no variants are detected at signature resistance-associated amino acid positions by 
population sequencing in that sample.  In addition, clonal sequencing may be performed if 
there is a complex mixture of amino acids at one or more signature resistance-associated 
position. 
The regions of interest for population or deep sequencing from all evaluated time points in 
this study are those encoding NS3 amino acids 1 – 181, NS5A amino acids 1 – 215, and 
NS5B amino acids 300 – 581.  The prototypic reference sequences used for analysis will 
be H77 for genotype 1a or Con1 for genotype 1b.
For each DAA target, resistance-associated signature amino acid variants will be 
identified by AbbVie Clinical Virology.  Amino acid positions where resistance 
associated variants have been identified in vitro and/or in vivo are 1) for ABT-450:  36, 
43, 55, 56, 80, 155, 156, and 168 in NS3 for genotype 1a; 56, 155, 156, and 168 in NS3 
for genotype 1b; 2) for ABT-267:  28, 30, 31, 32, 58, and 93 in NS5A for genotype 1a; 
28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 58, and 93 in NS5A for genotype 1b; and 3) for ABT-333:  316, 414, 
446, 448, 451, 553, 554, 555, 556, 558, 559, and 561 in NS5B for genotype 1a; 316, 368, 
411, 414, 445, 448, 553, 556, 558, and 559 in NS5B for genotype 1b.  The final list of 
amino acid positions where resistance-associated variants have been identified will be 
included in the CSR.
The following definitions will be used in the resistance analyses:

●
Baseline variant:  a variant (by population or deep sequencing) in a baseline 
sample determined by comparison of the amino acid sequence of the baseline 
sample to the appropriate prototypic reference amino acid sequence for a given 
DAA target (NS3, NS5A, or NS5B).
●
Post-baseline variant by population or deep sequencing:  an amino acid variant 
in a post baseline time point sample that was not detected at baseline in the 
subject and is detectable by population or deep sequencing.
●
A post-baseline variant by clonal sequencing:  a variant at a signature 
resistance-associated amino acid position that was not present in a subject by 
population sequencing at baseline that is detected in a post-baseline sample 
from that subject by clonal sequencing in at least 2 clones from that sample 
(among the subset of subjects for whom clonal sequencing is performed) if 
applicable. 
●
Emerged variant by population or deep sequencing:  a post-baseline variant 
that is observed in 2 or more subjects of the same subgenotype by population 
or deep sequencing.
●
Linked variant by population or deep sequencing:  2 or more signature 
resistance associated or emerged amino acid variants identified within a target 
by population or deep sequencing, and no mixture of amino acids is detected at 
either position.
●
A linked variant by clonal sequencing will be performed:  at least 2 clones 
from a given sample containing the same 2 or more signature 
resistance-associated amino acid variants by clonal sequencing, if applicable.
For all subjects, the HCV amino acid sequence as determined by population or deep 
sequencing at baseline will be compared to the appropriate prototypic reference amino 
acid sequences.  A listing by subject of all baseline variants relative to prototypic 
reference sequence at signature resistance-associated amino acid positions will be 
provided for each DAA target (NS3, NS5A, and NS5B).
The following analyses will be performed on the samples from subjects who are in the 
PVF population and have post-baseline resistance data available.

The HCV amino acid sequence as determined by population or deep sequencing at the 
time of VF or the sample closest in time after VF with an HCV RNA level of 
≥1000 IU/mL will be compared to the baseline and appropriate prototypic reference 
amino acid sequences.  A listing by subject and time point of all post-baseline variants 
detected by population or deep sequencing relative to the baseline amino acid sequences 
will be provided across all DAA targets (NS3, NS5A, and NS5B).
The number and percentage of subjects with post-baseline variants at signature amino acid 
positions or emerged variants at non-signature amino acid positions by population or deep 
sequencing, listed by amino acid position and variant within a DAA target at the time of 
VF compared to baseline will be summarized, along with the number of subjects within a 
DAA target and overall.  The analyses will be grouped by HCV subgenotype (1a or 1b) 
and DAA target (NS3, NS5A, or NS5B) and will list the subject numbers of subjects with 
each variant.  The number of subjects with resistance variants in 3 targets, 2 targets or 
1 target will be provided.  
In addition, a listing by subject and time point of all post-baseline variants (by population 
or deep sequencing) at signature resistance-associated amino acid positions relative to the 
appropriate prototypic reference amino acid sequences will be provided.
Linkage between emerged or signature variants by population or deep sequencing will 
also be evaluated.  A listing by subject and time point of the linked variants by population 
or deep sequencing for each target will be provided.
If clonal sequencing is performed, listings by subject of post-baseline variants by clonal 
sequencing will be provided for each DAA target.  Listings of post-baseline variants by 
clonal sequencing by subject, amino acid position and variant within a DAA target, and 
time point will be provided.
For all subjects who experience VF, the persistence of resistance-associated variants for 
each target (NS3, NS5A, and NS5B) will be assessed by population or deep sequencing.  
If deep sequencing is not performed, clonal sequencing will be performed if no resistance

associated variants are detected by population sequencing at Post-Treatment Weeks 24 
and 52 and at time points up to Post-Treatment Week 260 (5 years).  
The number and percentage of subjects with post-baseline variants at signature amino acid 
positions by population or deep sequencing, listed by amino acid position and variant 
within a DAA target at each Post-Treatment time point compared to baseline will be 
summarized, along with the number of subjects within a DAA target and overall.  
Additionally, the number and percentage of subjects in whom a signature variant persisted 
at Post-Treatment Weeks 24 and 52 and time points up to Post-Treatment Week 260 
(5 years) out of the total number of subjects with that emerged variant at the VF time 
point and at that time point will be summarized by DAA target, and variant.
The number and percentage of subjects who still have a RAV at a given Post-Treatment 
time point will be calculated out of all subjects with that RAV at VF who have sequencing 
at that time point applying the missing data imputation described in Section 6.3.  If 
resistance-associated variants are not detected by population, clonal or deep sequencing in 
a given target for a subject either at the time of failure or in a post treatment sample, then 
that target will not be sequenced in subsequent samples from that subject.

Patient Reported Outcomes
The following instruments will be used to collect patient reported outcomes (PROs):  
SF-36 version 2 (SF-36v2) and FACIT-F.  Missing data for each measurement will be 
handled as described in Section 6.3.
The following exploratory analyses of PROs will be performed:
●
mean change from baseline to each applicable post-baseline time point in the 
SF-36v2 Mental Component Summary (MCS), Physical Component Summary 
(PCS) and eight individual domain measures;
●
mean change from baseline to each applicable time point in the FACIT-F total 
score;


ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333
M14-222 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 1.0 – 07 July 2015
40
●
percentage of subjects without a decrease from Baseline to Final Treatment 
Visit in the SF-36v2 PCS and MCS that is greater than or equal to the 
minimally important difference (MID) of five points.
The SF-36v2 measures dimensions of a patient's functional health and well-being in 
8 domains and also provides 2 summary scores that characterize a patient's mental (MCS) 
and physical (PCS) health status.  The score for each of the 8 domains ranges from 0 to 
100 and will be normalized according to the user manual.  The standardization of the 
normalized scores will provide the norm-based scores with a mean of 50 and a SD of 10.  
The two summary scores are based on the norm-based scores.  Per the SF-36v2 
instrument manual, score for any item with multiple responses will be set to "missing." 
Subject's responses to the SF-36v2 will be summarized for the PCS and MCS measures 
and the 8 individual domain measures.
The FACIT-F is a symptom specific instrument with a focus on measuring fatigue in a 
variety of chronic diseases or health conditions.  Its 13-item-version assesses peripheral, 
central, or mixed fatigue and yields a summed total score ranging between 0 and 52.  
Higher FACIT-F scores indicate a lesser degree of fatigue.  Notice that item 7 (I have 
energy) and item 8 (I am able to do my usual activities) are reversed scored.
Summary statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum and maximum) for the mean change 
from baseline to each applicable visit will be provided for the FACIT-F score and the 
SF-36v2 PCS and MCS scores.
An MID of –5 will be used for the change from Baseline to Final Treatment Visit in the 
SF-36v2 PCS and MCS.  The percentage of subjects with a change from Baseline to Final 
Treatment Visit > –5 will be presented along with 95% confidence intervals.

General Considerations
All subjects who receive at least one dose of study drug in Study M14-222 will be 
included in the safety analyses.
11.2
Analysis of Adverse Events
11.2.1
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA).  Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as any event that begins or 
worsens in severity after initiation of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of 
study drug.  Events where the onset date is the same as the study drug start date are 
assumed to be treatment-emergent.  If an incomplete onset date was collected for an 
adverse event, the event will be assumed to be treatment-emergent, unless there is other 
evidence that confirms that the event was not treatment-emergent (e.g., the event end date 
was prior to the study drug start date).
11.2.1.1
Tabulations of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Adverse event data will be summarized and presented using primary MedDRA system 
organ classes (SOCs) and preferred terms (PTs) according to the version of the MedDRA 
coding dictionary used for the study at the time of database lock.  The actual version of 
the MedDRA coding dictionary used will be noted in the clinical study report.  The 
system organ classes will be presented in alphabetical order and the preferred terms will 
be presented in alphabetical order within each system organ class. 
Adverse Event Overview
An overview of adverse events will be presented consisting of the number and percentage 
of subjects experiencing at least one event for the following adverse event categories:
●

●
Treatment-emergent adverse events leading to death;
●
Deaths.
Adverse Event by SOC and PT
The following summaries of adverse events will be generated:
●
Treatment-emergent adverse events;
●
Treatment-emergent adverse events with a "reasonable possibility" of being 
related to DAAs;
●
Serious treatment-emergent adverse events;

●
Treatment-emergent adverse events leading to concomitant medication use 
(events with other action taken of "concomitant medication prescribed").
For all adverse event summaries, the number and percentage of subjects experiencing 
treatment-emergent adverse events will be tabulated according to SOC and PT.  Subjects 
reporting more than one adverse event for a given PT will be counted only once for that

term (most severe incident for the severity tables and most related incident for the 
relationship tables).  Subjects reporting more than one adverse event within a SOC will be 
counted only once for that SOC.  Subjects reporting more than one adverse event will be 
counted only once in the overall total. 
A listing of treatment-emergent adverse events grouped by body system and preferred 
term with subject numbers will be created.
Adverse Event by PT
The number and percentage of subject experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events 
will be tabulated according to preferred term and sorted by overall frequency.  Similar 
summaries will be provided for moderate to severe treatment-emergent adverse events and 
treatment-emergent adverse events with a "reasonable possibility" of being related to 
DAAs. 
Adverse Event of Special Interest
Specific treatment-emergent adverse events of special interest, which may be searched 
using Standardized or Company MedDRA Queries, will be summarized.  The search 
criteria for the adverse event of interest is as follows:
●
Severe Cutaneous Reactions SMQ "Severe cutaneous adverse reactions" 
(narrow search)
The number and percentage of subjects experiencing at least one treatment-emergent 
adverse event in the search for the event of interest will be presented by SOC and PT.
A listing of treatment-emergent adverse events for subjects meeting the search criterion 
will be provided for the adverse event of special interest.
Adverse Event by Maximum Severity
Treatment-emergent adverse events and treatment-emergent adverse events with a 
"reasonable possibility" of being related to DAAs will be summarized by maximum

severity of each preferred term.  If a subject has an adverse event with unknown severity, 
then the subject will be counted in the severity category of "unknown," even if the subject 
has another occurrence of the same event with a severity present.  The only exception is if 
the subject has another occurrence of the same adverse event with the most extreme 
severity – "Severe."  In this case, the subject will be counted under the "Severe" category.
Adverse Events by Maximum Severity Grade Level
Treatment-emergent adverse events will be summarized by maximum severity grade level 
of each preferred term.  Each preferred term will be assigned to a grade level based on 
severity and seriousness, adapted from the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) table for grading 
severity of adverse events.  All serious adverse events will be categorized as Grade 4.  
Nonserious adverse events categorized by the investigators as mild, moderate, or severe 
will be categorized as Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3, respectively.  If a subject has a 
nonserious adverse event with unknown severity, then the subject will be counted in the 
severity grade level category of "unknown," even if the subject has another occurrence of 
the same event with a severity present.  The only exception is if the subject has another 
occurrence of the same adverse event with the most extreme severity – "Severe."  In this 
case, the subject will be counted under the "Grade 3" category.  Similarly, if a subject has 
an adverse event with unknown seriousness, then the subject will be counted in the 
severity grade level category of "unknown" unless the subject has another occurrence of 
the same adverse event that is marked serious.  In this case, the subject will be counted 
under the "Grade 4" category.
Adverse Event by Maximum Relationship
Treatment-emergent adverse events also will be summarized by maximum relationship of 
each preferred term to study drug (DAA), as assessed by the investigator.  If a subject has 
an adverse event with unknown relationship, then the subject will be counted in the 
relationship category of "unknown," even if the subject has another occurrence of the 
same event with a relationship present.  The only exception is if the subject has another 
occurrence of the same adverse event with a relationship assessment of "Reasonable

category.
11.2.2
Listing of Adverse Event
Listings of all serious adverse events (from the time the subject signed the study-specific 
informed consent until end of study), treatment-emergent serious adverse events, 
treatment-emergent adverse events leading to death, treatment-emergent adverse events 
leading to discontinuation of study drug, treatment-emergent adverse events leading to 
study drug interruptions, and treatment-emergent adverse events of special interest will be 
provided.

Statistical Methods
Clinical laboratory tests will be summarized at each visit during the Treatment Period.  
The baseline value will be the last measurement on or before the day of the first dose of 
study drug.  This same baseline value will be used for all change from baseline tables in 
the Treatment Period and Post-Treatment Periods.
Mean changes from baseline to each post-baseline visit, including applicable post 
treatment visits, will be summarized for each protocol-specified laboratory parameter with 
the baseline mean, visit mean, change from baseline mean, standard deviation, and 
median.
Laboratory data values will be categorized as low, normal, or high based on normal 
ranges of the laboratory used in this study.  Shift tables from baseline to minimum value, 
maximum value, and final values during the Treatment Period (Study Drug End Day ≤ 2) 
will be created.  The shift tables will cross tabulate the frequency of subjects with baseline 
values below/within/above the normal range versus minimum/maximum/final values 
below/within/above the normal range.
The number and percentage of subjects with post-baseline values during the Treatment 
Periods meeting the specified criteria for Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) 
laboratory values (defined in Table 8 and Table 9) will be summarized.  A post-baseline

separate listing will be provided that presents all lab values for the subjects meeting PCS 
criteria during treatment.
For hemoglobin and the liver function tests (LFTs) of alkaline phosphatase and total 
bilirubin, the number and percentage of subjects with a maximum Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade of 1, 2, 3, or 4 (see definitions in Table 10) 
at any post-baseline visit (regardless of the baseline value) through the end of treatment 
(i.e., Final Treatment Value) will be summarized.  All LFT tables will include summary 
rows for the number and percentage of subjects with at least Grade 2 and at least Grade 3 
laboratory abnormalities.  The hemoglobin table will include a summary row for the 
number and percentage of subjects with at least a Grade 2 laboratory abnormality.  
For the liver function tests (LFTs) of ALT and AST, the number and percentage of 
subjects with a maximum Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 
Grade of 1, 2, 3, or 4 (see definitions in Table 10) at any post-nadir visit (regardless of the 
baseline value) through the end of treatment (i.e., Final Treatment Value) will be 
summarized.  Note, for these analyses, the nadir is used for reference instead of baseline.  
Both ALT and AST tables will include summary rows for the number and percentage of 
subjects with at least Grade 2 and at least Grade 3 laboratory abnormalities. 
Accompanying listing of hemoglobin results will be provided for any subjects with at 
least Grade 2 hemoglobin abnormalities.  Accompanying listings of all ALT, AST, total,

ALT ≥ 3 × ULN and total bilirubin value ≥ 2 × ULN;
●
ALT > 5 × ULN (equivalent to Grade 3 or higher) and total bilirubin value 
< 2 × ULN.
A subject or event will be counted if the post-nadir laboratory values meet the above 
criteria regardless of the baseline laboratory value (i.e., the post nadir laboratory value 
does not need to be worse than the baseline laboratory value).  The maximum ratio 
relative to the ULN will be used to determine if subjects meet the criteria listed above. 
For subjects meeting the ALT ≥ 3 × ULN and total bilirubin value ≥ 2 × ULN criterion 
during the Treatment Period, a corresponding listing of all ALT, AST, alkaline 
phosphatase, and total, direct, and indirect bilirubin values will be provided.

Statistical Methods
Vital signs will be summarized at each visit during the Treatment Period.  The baseline 
value will be the last measurement on or before the day of the first dose of study drug.  
This same baseline value will be used for all change from baseline tables in the Treatment 
and Post-Treatment Periods.
Mean changes from baseline to each post-baseline visit, including applicable post 
treatment visits, will be summarized for each vital sign parameter with the baseline mean, 
visit mean, change from baseline mean, standard deviation, minimum, median, and 
maximum.
The number and percentage of subjects with post baseline values during the Treatment 
Period meeting Criteria for Potentially Clinically Significant Vital Sign Values (Table 11) 
will be summarized.  A post-baseline value must be more extreme than the baseline value 
to be considered as a PCS finding.  A separate listing will be provided that presents all of 
the vital sign values for the subjects meeting the PCS vital sign criteria during treatment.
