Study of Efficacy and Safety of Grazoprevir (MK-5172) + Elbasvir (MK-8742) With or Without Ribavirin for Participants With Hepatitis C Genotype 1, 4, or 6 Infections Who Have Failed Prior Treatment With Pegylated Interferon + Ribavirin (MK-5172-068) The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details. Brief Summary: This is an efficacy and safety study of grazoprevir (MK-5172) in combination with elbasvir (MK-8742) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 1, 4, or 6 infections who have failed prior therapy with pegylated interferon and RBV. The primary study hypothesis is that in at least one of the study arms, the percentage of participants achieving sustained viral response 12 weeks after the end of all study treatment (SVR12) will be superior to 58%. Official Title: A Phase III Randomized Clinical Trial to Study the Efficacy and Safety of the Combination Regimen of MK-5172/MK-8742 in Subjects Who Have Failed Prior Treatment With Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin (P/R) With Chronic HCV GT1, GT4, and GT6 Infection Resource links provided by the National Library of Medicine Experimental: Grazoprevir + Elbasvir 12 weeksParticipants receive grazoprevir 100 mg/elbasvir 50 mg fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablets once daily (q.d.) by mouth for 12 weeks. Drug: Grazoprevir + ElbasvirFDC tablet containing grazoprevir 100 mg and elbasvir 50 mg.Other Name: MK-5172A Experimental: Grazoprevir + Elbasvir + RBV 12 weeksParticipants receive grazoprevir 100 mg/elbasvir 50 mg FDC tablets q.d. by mouth, along with RBV capsules twice daily (b.i.d.) by mouth (weight-based dosing; 800 to 1400 mg total daily dose), for 12 weeks.

Drug: Grazoprevir + ElbasvirFDC tablet containing grazoprevir 100 mg and elbasvir 50 mg.Other Name: MK-5172A Drug: Ribavirin200 mg capsuleOther Name: Rebetol Percentage of Participants Achieving Undetectable HCV RNA 12 Weeks After Completing Study Therapy (SVR12) [TimeFrame:12 weeks after the end of all study treatment (up to 28 weeks)]HCV RNA was measured using the Roche COBAS Taqman HCV Test, v2.0 assay. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AE) [TimeFrame:Up to 18 weeks]An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment Due to an AE [TimeFrame:Up to 16 weeks]An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Percentage of Participants Achieving Undetectable HCV RNA 24 Weeks After the End of All Treatment (SVR24) [TimeFrame:24 weeks after the end of all study treatment (up to 40 weeks)]HCV RNA was measured using the Roche COBAS Taqman HCV Test, v2.0 assay.
