简要总结
This study is being conducted to determine safety and effectiveness of transplanting hearts from Hepatitis C-positive donors into Hepatitis C-negative patients on the heart transplant waitlist, who will then be treated with Zepatier after transplantation.
详细描述
Open-labelled pilot clinical trial of Zepatier (MK-5172 and MK-8742/Grazoprevir + Elbasvir) in at least 20 HCV-negative subjects receiving a heart transplant from a HCV-positive donor. Eligible subjects will receive a heart transplant from a deceased-donor with genotype 1 or 4 HCV, and then will receive 12 weeks of Zepatier after heart transplantation when infection with HCV is confirmed in these heart transplant recipients. Treatment will be complete after 12 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants With Post-treatment Sustained Virologic Response (SVR)
时间窗: Baseline to 24 weeks
The primary analysis will be based on a calculation of SVR rates (number of subjects with SVR; negative HCV RNA after completing Zepatier therapy) / (number of subjects treated with Zepatier post-heart transplantation)
Number of Severe Adverse Events (SAE) Attributable to HCV Therapy Post-heart Transplant
时间窗: Baseline to 52 weeks
