In vitro activity of SMV (a), TMC647055 (b) and JNJ-56914845 (c) against chimeric replicons containing the NS3 protease, NS5B polymerase or NS5A sequences, respectively, from isolates obtained at baseline, time of failure (TOF) and end of study (EOS) or follow-up week 12 (FU W12). Patients with RAVs, as detected by population sequencing in the corresponding plasma samples, are indicated with filled circles; patients without RAVs are indicated with open circles; for three samples at TOF, indicated with an asterisk, the SMV EC50 was above the highest test concentration with a censored FC in EC50 (i.e. >2200); the two isolates with SMV or TMC647055 RAVs detected in the plasma samples at TOF and wild-type sensitivity to SMV and TMC647055, respectively, did not contain these RAVs in the respective sequences included in the chimeric replicons. EC50: 50% effective concentration; EOS: end of study, corresponding to the sample from the last available time point in the study; FC: fold change; FU W12: follow-up week 12, corresponding to the sample obtained at 12 weeks after end of treatment; NAP: not applicable; RAV: resistance-associated variant; SMV: simeprevir; TOF: time of failure, corresponding to the sample obtained at TOF
