Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Active treatment is 700 mg of ACH­-0143422 (oral capsule) with 50 mg of ACH-­0143102 (oral tablet) once daily (QD) or placebo taken for the following durations.

Cohort 1
Group 1 – ACH­-0143422 for 3 days, then 12 weeks of active treatment
Group 2 – ACH­-0143422 placebo for 3 days, then 12 weeks active treatment
Group 3 – ACH-­0143422 placebo for 3 days, then 12 weeks placebo for each drug

Cohort 2
Group 4 – 8 weeks of active treatment
Group 5 – 8 weeks placebo for each drug

Cohort 3
Group 6 – 6 weeks of active treatment
Group 7 – 6 weeks placebo for each drug

All groups will be dosed under fed conditions. Adherence to required dosing will be monitored by counting number of returned tablets/capsules.
Intervention code [1] 291511 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Placebo (Microcrystalline cellulose capsule or tablet). The placebo for ACH-0143422 will be a capsule and the placebo for ACH-0143102 will be a tablet so the participant does not know if they are taking placebo or active medication.
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 294660 0
To assess the safety of ACH-0143422 and ACH-0143102 as determined by the incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs), Grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) and laboratory abnormalities, and discontinuations due to AEs.
Timepoint [1] 294660 0
30 days after treatment stops
Primary outcome [2] 294661 0
To determine the proportion of subjects with SVR12, defined as sustained virologic response [hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) < lower limit of quantification (LLOQ)] 12 weeks after the end of active treatment), in subjects who receive 12, 8, or 6 weeks of active treatment with ACH-0143422 and ACH-0143102. This result is obtained by a test on the participant's blood sample.
Timepoint [2] 294661 0
12 weeks after treatment stops
Secondary outcome [1] 313821 0
To determine the proportion of subjects with SVR4 and SVR24, defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ, 4 and 24 weeks after the end of active treatment, in subjects who received ACH-0143422 and ACH-0143102 for 12, 8, or 6 weeks. This result is obtained by a test on the participant's blood sample.
Timepoint [1] 313821 0
24 weeks after treatment stops
Secondary outcome [2] 313822 0
To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ACH-0143422 (and its inactive metabolite ACH-0143420) and ACH-0143102 when co-administered in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection. This result is obtained by a serum assay on the participant's blood sample.
Timepoint [2] 313822 0
Final time point is 24 weeks after treatment stops. Intensive PK time points are pre-dose, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours after dosing. Trough PK samples will be obtained at Weeks 1, 3-12, 14, 16, 20, 24 and 36.

Type of endpoint/s
Safety/efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Safety data from individual treatment duration (12, 8, or 6 weeks) will be presented separately.

The following safety endpoints will be summarized within each treatment duration cohort, active versus placebo, for subjects receiving at least one dose of study therapy;
- SAEs;
- AEs leading to discontinuation of study therapy;
- AEs (related and regardless of relationship to study therapy);
- Laboratory abnormalities by toxicity grade.

Due to the exploratory nature of this study, no power or sample size calculations were performed. The number of subjects was chosen on an empirical basis.
