About this study
Official title: Prevention of Transmission of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) From HCV-Viremic Organ Donor to HCVNegative Organ Transplant Recipient - Pilot Trial
This trial will be done in participants who undergo transplantation of heart, kidney or lung at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and receive a hepatitis C infected donor organ. In this trial, the plan is to start hepatitis C treatment just before transplant surgery and treat for a short one-week course to see if hepatitis C infection can be prevented in the transplant recipient. The plan is to perform this trial in 10 participants and if successful, the next step is to try to make it standard of care as prevention of infection is better than treating hepatitis C after discharge from transplant surgery (which is usually a 12 week standard treatment).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB)Drug
The study intervention consists of a single daily dose of GLE/PIB 100/40 mg (one dose consists of 3 tablets) administered orally; or crushed and administered via a feeding tube if participant is unable to swallow by mouth, for example in the immediate post-operative period. First dose will be administered in the pre-operative period within 4 hours of surgery followed by once daily doses for 7 days total.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of participants with Sustained Virological Response
The primary outcome is the percentage of patients sustained virological response (SVR) at day 91 after completion of a 7-day course of GLE/PIB.
Measured: 91 days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Percentage of participants with treatment-related Serious Adverse Events
Safety and tolerability of the 7-day GLR/PIB course. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by documenting Serious Adverse Events (based on NIH criteria) for the duration of the study. Safety assessments will occur through review of the medical record of the patient, review of laboratory parameters and open-ended questions at the in-person assessments.
Measured: 91 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) in people with Hepatitis C and Hepatitis C Virus Infection, Response to Therapy of, run by University of California, San Diego at 1 site 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?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. 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 24 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Percentage of participants with Sustained Virological Response (time frame: 91 days). 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 NCT04596475, which also lists 6 linked publications.
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 24 May 2022.
