The Study of Hepatitis Eradication Receiving Protease Inhibitor Administration
This is a prospective, non-blinded cohort study that will assess the safety, tolerability, and antiviral efficacy of glecaprevir/pibrentasivir therapy given post-discharge to HCV-negative recipients of HCV infected donors. Patients who meet entry criteria will be enrolled while on the transplant waitlist. At the time of transplant, some donors will be HCV positive / NAT positive and some will not be infected. Enrolled patients who receive an HCV negative donor will serve as contemporaneous controls. All study subjects who receive an HCV positive organ will be confirmed to have acquired HCV infection and genotype will be assessed prior to treatment with therapy.
