About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Open-Label Study of Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir to Treat Recipients of Transplanted Kidneys From Deceased Donors With Hepatitis C Virus

Open label multi center study for the donation of HCV positive kidneys to HCV negative recipients with interventional treatment to prevent HCV transmission upon transplantation.

Read the detailed description

The study objective is to determine if the administration of the direct acting antiviral glecaprevir/pibrentasvir for 8 weeks after kidney transplantation is both safe and effective at preventing the spread of HCV infection from donor kidney with known HCV infection (all genotypes) to an HCV negative recipient as evidenced by a negative HCV viral RNA at 12 weeks post treatment.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Undetectable HCV

    HCV RNA < LLOQ 12 weeks after the last actual dose of G/P

    Measured: 12 weeks post treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Subjects With On-treatment Virologic Failure

    HCV RNA > LLOQ during G/P treatment

    Measured: During 8 week treatment course

  2. Percentage of Subjects With Post-treatment Virologic Relapse

    HCV RNA > LLOQ after completion of G/P treatment and prior HCV RNA < LLOQ while on treatment

    Measured: During 12 week post treatment follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing glecaprevir/pibrentasvir treatment in people with Renal Failure Chronic and Hepatitis C, run by Raymond Chung at 7 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 May 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Undetectable HCV (time frame: 12 weeks post treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03781726, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2022.
