Trial Outcomes & Findings for Transplanting Hepatitis C Lungs Into Negative Lung Recipients (NCT NCT03724149)

Last Updated: 2023-04-14

Results Overview

The primary outcome measure is Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) rate at 12 weeks (number of subjects with SVR; negative HCV RNA after completing therapy) / (number of subjects treated post-lung transplantation). SVR will be based on the standard definition of SVR-12, defined as an undetectable HCV RNA in a subject's serum 12 weeks after completing treatment for HCV (12 weeks after the subject takes the last dose of Zepatier, Epclusa, or another appropriate antiviral treatment).

Measure	Direct-acting Antiviral Treatment for HCV Zepatier: Zepatier (grazoprevir 100mg and elbasvir 50 mg once daily) is taken by mouth for 12 weeks unless a genetic variation is detected. In this case treatment with Zepatier will be extended to 16 weeks. Study subjects with treatment failure will be provided open-label Zepatier + sofosbuvir (sovaldi) 400mg + Ribavirin (generic), renally dosed based on creatinine clearance per the manufacturer guidelines. Epclusa: Epclusa (sofosbuvir 400mg and velpatasvir 100mg once daily) is taken by mouth for 12 weeks. Study subjects with treatment failure will be provided an alternative DAA + sofosbuvir (sovaldi) 400mg + Ribavirin (generic), renally dosed based on creatinine clearance per the manufacturer guidelines.
