E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the persistence of SVR in subjects who remained HCV RNA <25 IU/mL throughout the follow-up period of the treatment protocol. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the presence of antiviral resistance to MK-5172 and determine if there is a reversion to a wild-type pattern within the 3 year time-frame of this long-term follow-up study. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. HCV infected subjects who previously participated in an MK-5172 protocol and received at least one dose of MK-5172.
2. Subject must enroll (Visit 1) within one year of the treatment portion of their previous MK-5172 protocol.
3. Subject must be ≥ 18 years of age and willing to give written informed consent.
4. Subjects, who have consented for the trial, may also provide consent for Future Biomedical Research. However, the subject may participate in the main trial without participating in Future Biomedical Research.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. In the opinion of the investigator, if a subject is mentally or legally incapacitated at entry, the subject may be excluded. |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
A primary efficacy endpoint is the persistence of SVR which will be evaluated based upon the time to viral relapse. Viral relapse is defined as any subject who has HCV RNA ≥ 25 IU/mL and was previously <25 IU/mL after end of treatment in previous trial (see Section 2.5). Time to relapse is defined as the time from last dose of therapy taken in previous trial until the date where HCV RNA is ≥25 IU/mL. The percentage of subjects who remain HCV RNA <25 IU/mL during the course of this study will also be evaluated.
In subjects with HCV RNA ≥1000 IU/mL at entry or during the study period, HCV sequence analysis will be performed to evaluate the presence of RAVs and the persistence of RAVs over time.
