For treatment-naive participants, SOF was given in a dose of 400 mg/day + RBV was given orally in the morning and in the evening (total daily dose was based on body weight:<75 kg, 1000 mg; >75 kg, 1200 mg).
For treatment-experienced participants, SOF was given in a dose of 400 mg/day + RBV was given orally in the morning and in the evening (total daily dose was based on body weight:<75 kg, 1000 mg; >75 kg, 1200 mg).
For treatment-naive participants, SOF was given in a dose of 400 mg/day + SMV orally as a single 150 mg q.d. capsule.
For treatment-experienced participants, SOF was given in a dose of 400 mg/day + SMV orally as a single 150 mg q.d. capsule.
