• Previous HCV treatment status of peginterferon/RBV Null responder; or peginterferon/RBV Partial responder; or peginterferon/RBV Treatment Relapse
• For human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected participants: documented HIV-1 infection; currently naïve to treatment with any antiretroviral therapy (ART) and have no plans to initiate ART treatment while participating in this study; or be on HIV ART for at least 8 weeks prior to study entry (dual nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor [NRTI] backbone of tenofovir or abacavir and either emtricitabine or lamivudine plus raltegravir (or dolutegravir or rilpivirine) (no changes in HIV regimen allowed within 4 weeks of randomization); cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)+ T-cell count >200 cells/mm^3 at screening; documented undetectable plasma HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) at least 8 weeks prior to screening; participants not on ART, HIV RNA must be <50,000 copies/mL; must have at least one viable antiretroviral regimen alternative beyond their current regimen in the event of HIV virologic failure and the development of antiretroviral drug resistance
• Agree to use two acceptable methods of birth control from at least 2 weeks prior to Day 1 and continue until at least 6 months after last dose of study drug, or longer if dictated by local regulations; a male participant who is not (or whose partner is not) of reproductive potential is eligible without requiring the use of contraception

Exclusion Criteria:

• Evidence of decompensated liver disease manifested by the presence of or history of ascites, esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy or other signs or symptoms of advanced liver disease
• For participants with cirrhosis, participants who are Child-Pugh Class B or C or who have a Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) score >6, must be excluded

• Poor venous access
• History of gastric surgery (e.g., stapling, bypass) or history of malabsorption disorders (e.g., celiac sprue disease)
• Hemoglobinopathy, including, but not limited to, thalassemia major
• Any medical condition requiring, or likely to require, chronic systemic corticosteroids, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists, or other immunosuppressant drugs during the course of the trial
• For participants with HIV, history of opportunistic infection in the preceding 6 months
• For participants with HIV, use of HIV drugs other than a dual NRTI backbone of tenofovir or abacavir and either emtricitabine or lamivudine plus raltegravir (or dolutegravir or rilpivirine)
• Evidence or history of chronic hepatitis not caused by HCV, including but not limited to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), drug-induced hepatitis, and autoimmune hepatitis
