•To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AT-527 in combination with daclatasvir
•To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of AT-527 and daclatasvir as measured by the proportion of subjects who achieve SVR12 (HCV RNA < lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) at 12 weeks after end of treatment (EOT)) with 8 or 12 weeks of treatment

•To determine the proportion of subjects who achieve HCV RNA < LLOQ by study visit

i.Liver biopsy showing cirrhosis
ii.Transient elastography (FibroScan®) with a result of > 12.5 kPa
Absence of cirrhosis may be confirmed by one of the above methods, if available within 1 year of Screening. Otherwise, transient elastography assessment may be done during Screening.
15.History or signs of decompensated liver disease: ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, or other clinical signs of portal hypertension or hepatic insufficiency.
16.History of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or findings suggestive of possible HCC.

•Any other clinically significant medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the subject or impact the validity of the study results. This includes any other conditions which are contraindicated in the daclatasvir prescribing information.
18.Clinically significant abnormal ECG at Screening, as determined by the investigator.
19.Confirmed resting blood pressure > 160/95 mmHg at Screening, either untreated or on hypertension treatment. Note: Continuation of anti- hypertensive medications is allowed.
