The therapies comprise administering 2R,6S,13aS,14aR,16aS,Z)-N-(cyclopropylsulfonyl)-6-(5-methylpyrazine-2-carboxamido)-5,16-dioxo-2-(phenanthridin-6-yloxy)-1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13a,14,14a,15,16,16a-exadecahydrocyclopropa[e]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazacyclopentadecine-14a-carboxamide (Compound I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and another anti-HCV agent. Preferably, the therapies are both interferon- and ribavirin-free. The other anti-HCV agent can be a HCV polymerase inhibitor, an HCV NS5A inhibitor, an HCV entry inhibitor, a cyclophilin inhibitor, or an internal ribosome entry site inhibitor. Preferably, the other anti-HCV agent is an HCV polymerase inhibitor. Also preferably, the other anti-HCV agent is an HCV NS5A inhibitor.
