The Use of Hepatitis C Positive Livers in Hepatitis C Negative Liver Transplant Recipients
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Liver Transplant, Hepatitis C
In brief
This is an open-label, pilot trial to test the safety and efficacy of transplantation of livers from Hepatitis C seropositive non-viremic (HCV Ab+/NAT-) and HCV seropositive viremic (HCV Ab+/NAT+) donors to HCV seronegative recipients on the liver transplant waitlist. Treatment and prophylaxis will be administered, using a transmission-triggered approach for the first scenario (HCV Ab+/NAT- donors, arm 1) and a prophylaxis approach for the later scenario (HCV Ab+/NAT+ donors, arm 2).
