There is only one kind of treatment (simeprevir 150 mg + sofosbuvir 400 mg+daclatasvir 60 mg) in this study but the treatment duration may be different depending on patients' response to the antiviral therapy and whether patients have liver cirrhosis. If patients have no cirrhosis and the HCV viral load on day 2 is \<500 IU/ml, patients will receive sofosbuvir, daclatasvir and simeprevir for 3 weeks, otherwise the treatment duration is 4 weeks. If patients have cirrhosis and the HCV viral load on day 2 is \<500 IU/ml, patients will receive sofosbuvir, daclatasvir and simeprevir for 6 weeks, otherwise the treatment duration will be 8 weeks.

Proportion of participants with plasma HCV viral load below the lower limit of quantification for 12 weeks after treatment completion (SVR12)
SVR12 is defined as HCV RNA \< lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) 12 weeks after last dose of study drug.
Time frame: Post treatment Week 12
Frequency and severity of adverse events
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 24
Proportion of participants with unquantifiable HCV viral load at specified time points during and after treatment
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 24
Kinetics of circulating HCV RNA during treatment and after treatment discontinuation
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 24
Proportion of participants with on-treatment virologic breakthrough and relapse
Viral breakthrough is defined as having achieved undetectable HCV RNA levels (HCV RNA \< LLOQ) during treatment, but did not achieve a sustained virologic response (SVR). Viral relapse is defined as having achieved undetectable HCV RNA levels (HCV RNA \< LLOQ) within 4 weeks of end of treatment, but did not achieve an SVR up to 24 weeks.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 24
