Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Subject has provided written consent.
* Subject is in good health as deemed by the investigator
* Creatinine clearance of greater than 50 mL/min (Cockcroft- Gault).
* Male or female, 18-55 years of age for HV and 18-65 years of age for subjects with CHC.
* Body mass index (BMI) 18-32 kg/m2 inclusive for HV and 18-36 kg/m2 for subjects with CHC, minimum weight 50 kg in both populations.
* A female is eligible to participate in this study if she is of non-childbearing potential.
* If male, subject is surgically sterile or practicing specific forms of birth control.

Additional inclusion criteria for subjects with CHC genotype 1 infection:

* Positive HCV antibody and a positive HCV RNA at screening.
* Documentation of CHC infection of greater than 6 months duration at screening.
* CHC genotype 1 infection at screening.
* HCV RNA viral load = 105 and = 108 IU/mL using a sensitive quantitative assay
* Liver biopsy within two years or Fibroscan evaluation within 6 months prior to screening that clearly excludes cirrhosis. Fibroscan liver stiffness score must be < 12 kPa.
* Absence of hepatocellular carcinoma as indicated by an abdominal ultrasound scan during screening.
* No prior treatment for CHC.
* Absence of history of clinical hepatic decompensation.
* Laboratory values include:

* prothrombin time < 1.5 × ULN.
* platelets > 120,000/mm3.
* albumin > 3.5 g/dL, bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dL at screening (subjects with documented Gilbert's disease allowed).
* Serum ALT concentration < 5 × ULN.
* Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) concentration = ULN. If AFP is = ULN, absence of a hepatic mass must be demonstrated by ultrasound within the screening period.

Summary
Brief summary
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-part study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of orally administered ALS-002158 in healthy volunteers (HV) and subjects with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 infection.

Part 1 will assess single ascending dosing pharmacokinetics and safety in HV. Part 2 will assess food effects on pharmacokinetics in HV.

Part 3 will assess multiple ascending dosing pharmacokinetics and safety in subjects with CHC genotype 1 infection.
