Patient description: The patient is a 55-year-old man diagnosed with HCV 2 years ago and the recent coinfection with HBV. His past medical history is non-significant. He is on IFN, RBV and direct antiviral drugs for the past 6 months. The patient takes no other medications. His medical records show previous positive HCV RNA tests and a positive enzyme immunoassay for anti-HCV-antibodies. The recent biopsy was negative for hepatocellular carcinoma and was only remarkable for chronic inflammation compatible with a chronic viral hepatitis. There is no evidence of alcoholic liver disease, bleeding from esophageal varices, hemochromatosis, autoimmune hepatitis, or metabolic liver disease. He is an alert male with no acute distress. His BP: 130/75, HR: 90/min and BMI: 27. His abdomen is soft with no ascites or tenderness. The lower extremities are normal with no edema.

Clinical trial eligibility criteria: eligible ages (years): 18.0-70.0,  Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Chinese, South Korean, and Taiwanese descent with full Chinese, South Korean, and Taiwanese parentage. 2. Chronic HCV-infection prior to study enrollment. 3. Screening laboratory result indicating HCV genotype 1b-infection. 4. Compensated cirrhosis defined as a Child-Pugh Score of less than or equal to 6 at Screening. 5. Per local standard practice, documentation of cirrhosis by one of the following methods Diagnosis on previous liver biopsy or liver biopsy conducted during screening e.g., Metavir Score of > 3 (including 3/4 or 3 , Ishak score of > 4 or FibroScan score ≥ 14.6 kiloPascals (kPa) within 6 months of Screening or during the Screening Period  HCV genotype performed during screening indicating unable to genotype or infection with any other HCV genotype. 2. Positive test result at Screening for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA > Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) if HBsAg negative, or anti-Human Immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV Ab). 3. Use of known strong inducers of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) or strong inhibitors of CYP2C8 within 2 weeks or within 10 half-lives, whichever is longer, of the respective medication/supplement prior to study drug administration. 4. Any current or past clinical evidence of Child-Pugh B or C classification or clinical history of liver decompensation including ascites (noted on physical exam), variceal bleeding, or hepatic encephalopathy. 5. Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein (sAFP) > 100 ng/mL at Screening. 6. Confirmed presence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) indicated on imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 3 months prior to Screening or on an ultrasound performed at Screening (a positive ultrasound result should be confirmed with CT scan or MRI.) 7. Any primary cause of liver disease other than chronic HCV-infection, including but not limited to the following Hemochromatosis Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency Wilson's disease Autoimmune hepatitis Alcoholic liver disease Drug-related liver disease Steatosis and steatohepatitis on a liver biopsy coincident with HCV-related changes would not be considered exclusionary unless the steatohepatitis is considered to be the primary cause of the liver disease. 8. Screening laboratory analyses showing abnormal kidney, hepatic, or hematologic function
