This was a long-term follow-up study to evaluate the durability of sustained virologic response (SVR), persistence of direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) resistance, and clinical outcomes for participants who received glecaprevir (ABT-493) and/or pibrentasvir (ABT-530) in prior AbbVie Phase 2 or 3 clinical studies for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
This was a Phase 2/3, multicenter study offered to participants who received at least one dose of an ABT-493- and/or ABT-530-containing regimen at any dose level in an eligible prior AbbVie Phase 2 or 3 study for the treatment of chronic HCV and elected to enroll in this study. The participant must have completed the follow-up period of the prior eligible AbbVie study. Participants were followed for a total of approximately 3 years after their last dose of DAA in the previous HCV clinical study. The 3 years were inclusive of any post-treatment period in the prior study, as well as any gaps between the end of the prior study and enrollment in this study.

Percentage of Participants Who Maintained a Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) Out of Those Who Achieved SVR12 in a Prior Study With an ABT-493- and/or ABT-530-containing Regimen
Maintaining a sustained virologic response (SVR) is defined as having Hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) value consistently below the lower limit of quantification (\< LLOQ) from the end of treatment in the previous study throughout Study M13-576 (this study).
Time frame: From the end of treatment in the previous study up to 3 years post-treatment
Percentage of Participants Who Relapsed or Had a New Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection at Any Time up to the Last Follow-up in This Study Among Participants Who Achieved SVR12 in a Prior Study With an ABT-493- and/or ABT-530-containing Regimen
Relapse was defined as confirmed Hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) greater than or equal to the lower limit of quantification (≥ LLOQ) between end of treatment and up to and including the last HCV RNA measurement collected in this study for a participant with HCV RNA \< LLOQ at Final Treatment Visit who completed treatment, excluding reinfection. HCV reinfection was defined as confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after the end of treatment in a participant who had HCV RNA \< LLOQ at Final Treatment Visit, along with the post-treatment detection of a different HCV genotype, subtype, or clade compared with baseline, as determined by phylogenetic analysis of the NS3 or NS5A, and/or NS5B gene sequences.
Time frame: From the end of treatment in the previous study up to 3 years post-treatment
Number of Participants With Persistence of Resistance-Associated Amino Acid Variants Among Those Experiencing Virologic Failure
Plasma samples for HCV resistance testing were collected at study visits. The variants in nonstructural viral protein 3 (NS3) and nonstructural viral protein 5A (NS5A) at amino acid positions of interest were analyzed by next generation sequencing relative to baseline and prototypic reference sequences.
Time frame: From Day 1 to Month 12

Number of Participants With Medical Events Related to Progression of Liver Disease or Hepatitis C Virus Infection
Any events (i.e., diagnoses) related to liver disease progression and/or HCV infection considered to be clinically significant by the investigator that began or worsened after Day 1 were documented until the end of the study or initiation of re-treatment for HCV (if applicable). Significant events related to liver disease progression include the development of cirrhosis, events indicative of hepatic decompensation, (including: variceal bleeding, new ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatic encephalopathy, hepato-renal syndrome, hepatic hydrothorax or other evidence of hepatic decompensation considered to be significant by the investigator), change in the Child-Pugh category (e.g., change from Child-Pugh Class A to Child-Pugh Class B), the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation and/or death.
Time frame: After Day 1 up to 3 years post-treatment
Mean Concentration of Interferon Gamma-induced Protein 10 (IP-10) Over Time
A plasma sample for IP-10 testing was collected at study visits for all participants, until the end of the study or initiation of re-treatment for HCV (if applicable). IP-10 is used to assess liver fibrosis in participants with chronic liver disease.
Time frame: From Day 1 up to 3 years post-treatment
Mean FibroTest Score Over Time
A serum sample for FibroTest evaluation was collected at study visits for all participants, until the end of the study or initiation of re-treatment for HCV (if applicable). FibroTest uses six biomarkers to generate a score that correlates to the degree of liver damage in participants. Scores range from 0 to 1, with higher scores indicating more severe liver fibrosis.
Time frame: From Day 1 up to 3 years post-treatment
Mean Aspartate Transaminase to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) Over Time
A serum sample for aspartate transaminase evaluation and platelets were collected at study visits for all participants, until the end of the study or initiation of re-treatment for HCV (if applicable). The aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI) is used to assess liver fibrosis in participants with chronic liver disease. Scores range from 0 to ≥ 2.0, with scores \< 0.5 predictive of no liver fibrosis; scores \>1.5 significant fibrosis; and scores \> 2.0 indicative of cirrhosis.
Time frame: From Day 1 up to 3 years post-treatment
Mean FibroScan Scores Over Time
The FibroScan test is used to assess liver fibrosis in participants with chronic liver disease. This was not performed as a study procedure, but any available results from source documents were summarized. For participants with Hepatitis C infection, a Fibroscan score of 2-7 kPa indicates no liver scarring or mild scarring; a score of 8 or 9 is associated with moderate liver scarring; 9-14 indicates severe liver scarring; and 14 or higher is indicative of advanced liver scarring, cirrhosis.
Time frame: Up to 3 years post-treatment
