This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination treatment with grazoprevir + elbasvir for compensated cirrhotic participants with chronic genotype 1 (GT1) and genotype 6 (GT6) hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with or without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
Total 100 patients with compensated cirrhosis, chronically infected with HCV GT1 or GT6 with or without HIV infection will be included. Patients with HCV GT1 and GT6 will be enrolled on a 1:1 basis (approximately 50 patients with GT1 and 50 patients with GT6). Treatment-naïve patients will be treated with the combination of grazoprevir plus elbasvir for 12 weeks. Treatment-experienced patients, including null responders, partial responders or post-treatment relapsers, will be assigned to treat with the combination plus weight-based RBV for 16 weeks. The dosages of study drugs are 100 mg of grazoprevir once daily and 50 mg of elbasvir once daily. All patients will follow up to assess SVR (defined by HCV RNA level \<12 IU/mL) at week12 and week 24 after treatment (SVR12 and SVR24, respectively). Additionally, participants will be evaluated the longitudinal changes in LS values by TE up to 240 weeks (5 years) after treatment

Rate of SVR12
To evaluate the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) at 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12) in compensated cirrhotic participants with GT1 and GT6 HCV infection with or without HIV infection treated with the combination of grazoprevir and elbasvir
Time frame: 12 weeks post-treatment
Rate of SVR24
To evaluate the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) at 24 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR24)
Time frame: 24 weeks post-treatment
Decline of liver stiffness
To evaluate the percentage of participants achieving a significant decline in liver stiffness (LS) values (defined as a ≥30% decrease from baseline) up to 240 weeks (5 years) after treatment
Time frame: 5 years post-treatment
changes in liver stiffness
To compare the longitudinal changes in LS values over time between participants and untreated historical controls
Time frame: 5 years
