HCV Positive Heart Donors
Completed · Phase 4
Conditions studied: Heart Failure
In brief
Study subjects active on the waiting list for a heart transplant at the NYU Langone Transplant Institute who are hepatitis C (HCV) negative will receive a heart transplant from a donor who tests positive for HCV. The study will entail surveillance for the development of HCV viremia post-transplant. Patients who develop HCV viremia post-transplant will be treated with an FDA-approved, pan-genotypic direct acting antiviral drug, Mavyret. Patients who are treated with Mavyret will be monitored for clearance of viremia and for sustained virologic response.
