Main objective of the trial

The primary objectives of this study are:
• To determine the efficacy of treatment with GS-7977+ ribavirin (RBV) as measured by the proportion of subjects with sustained viral response 12 weeks after discontinuation of therapy (SVR12)

Secondary objectives of the trial

The secondary objectives of this study are:
• To determine the proportion of subjects who attain SVR at 4 and 24 weeks after discontinuation of therapy (SVR4 and SVR24)
• To determine the efficacy of treatment with GS-7977+RBV based on prior treatment history
• To evaluate the kinetics of circulating HCV RNA during treatment and after treatment discontinuation
