Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- HCV genotype 1 infection and HCV RNA plasma level greater than (>) 10,000
international units per milliliter (IU/mL), both determined at Screening

- Participants of Arm A should have evidence of early stages of liver fibrosis, defined
by a FibroSURE score less than or equal to (<=) 0.48 and aspartate aminotransferase to
platelet ratio index (APRI) score <=1

- Participants of Arm B should have evidence of cirrhosis, defined by a FibroSURE score
>0.75 and APRI score >2, OR a previous (historical) biopsy documenting a METAVIR score
F4. In addition, participants should have absence of esophageal varices or presence of
small (grade 1) esophageal varices determined by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and
absence of findings indicative of hepatocellular carcinoma in an ultrasonography

- HCV treatment-naive, defined as not having received treatment with any approved or
investigational drug for chronic HCV infection

- Pegylated interferon (PegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) eligible, defined as not having any
contraindication to the use of PegIFN and RBV, in line with the prescribing
information for each compound

Exclusion Criteria:

A. Main Study:

- Co-infection with HCV of another genotype than genotype 1 and/or human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 or 2 (positive HIV-1 or HIV 2 antibody test at
Screening)

- Any evidence of liver disease of non-HCV etiology. This includes, but is not limited
to, acute hepatitis A infection, hepatitis B infection (hepatitis B surface antigen
positive), drug- or alcohol-related liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis,
hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, or any other non-HCV liver disease
considered clinically significant by the Investigator

- Evidence of clinical hepatic decompensation or presence of grade 2/3 esophageal
varices

- Any of the protocol defined laboratory abnormalities

B. Sub-study:

- Presence of coagulopathy (hemophilia) or hemoglobinopathy (including sickle cell
disease, thalassemia)

- Use of any anti-coagulant (for example, warfarin, heparin) or anti-platelet
medications within 1 week of the Screening visit

- Any of the protocol defined laboratory abnormalities
