One patient died due to myocardial infarction while on therapy; not included in modified ITT analysis.

#

One patient who reached SVR12 died due to recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma and deterioration of liver disease before EOT+24 weeks time point; not included in modified ITT SVR24 analysis.

§

HCV RNA testing at EOT+12 weeks time point is not mandatory in Hungary.

N – total number of patients, n – number of patients, EOT – end of treatment, HCV – hepatitis C virus, RNA – ribonucleic acid, LLD – lower limit of detection, ITT – intent to treat, mITT – modified intent to treat, SVR – sustained virological response
