Inclusion Criteria:
* Screening laboratory result indicating hepatitis C virus (HCV) GT5 or 6 infection.
* Participant has a positive anti-HCV antibody (Ab) and plasma HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) greater than or equal to 1000 IU/mL at Screening Visit.
* Participant must be HCV treatment-naïve (i.e., has never received a single dose of any approved or investigational anti-HCV medication) or treatment-experienced (i.e., has failed prior interferon \[IFN\] or pegylated interferon \[pegIFN\] with or without ribavirin \[RBV\], or sofosbuvir \[SOF\] plus RBV with or without pegIFN therapy). Prior HCV treatment with any other approved or investigational medications is not allowed. Previous HCV treatment must have been completed greater than or equal to 2 months prior to screening.
* Participant must be documented as having no cirrhosis or compensated cirrhosis.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Female participant who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or is considering becoming pregnant during the study or for approximately 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
* Recent (within 6 months prior to study drug administration) history of drug or alcohol abuse that could preclude adherence to the protocol in the opinion of the investigator.
* Positive test result at screening for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or anti-human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV Ab).
* HCV genotype performed during screening indicating co-infection with more than one HCV genotype.
* History of severe, life-threate…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
