Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
1-year graft and patient survival
Will track subjects post transplant for 12 months
From the date of transplant through the last day of 12 month post transplant
Study Arms (1)
Recipient of HCV positive kidney graft
EXPERIMENTALA single center, open-label, pilot study examining 20 adult HCV negative kidney transplant patients who receive an HCV infected graft. Target start date for antiviral therapy will be within 3 months after kidney transplantation, unless extenuating clinical circumstances arise (such as the development of fibrosing cholestatic HCV, which would prompt earlier treatment, or clinical events or comorbidities which would prompt delay in treatment).
Interventions
A HCV negative or previously successfully treated recipient with a HCV positive kidney graft
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female
- Age 18 and older
- English and Spanish speaking patients
- Active on the waiting list for kidney transplantation
- Donor organ with Antibody and NAT (nucleic acid test) positive for HCV
- HCV negative recipient; this includes patients who never had HCV and those with HCV previously eradicated with antiviral therapy. The latter is defined as those with undetectable HCV viral load at least 3 months since stopping therapy.
- Willing and able to provide written informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Participants co-infected with HIV
- Donor previously treated with an NS5a containing regimen (if treatment history of donor known)
- Known allergies or hypersensitivity to DAA or RBV
- Pregnancy and/or actively breastfeeding
