Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To investigate the efficacy and tolerability of Grazoprevir and Elbasvir in liver transplant recipients with hepatitis C recurrence.;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the beneficial effect of antiviral therapy in liver function. - To assess the impact of therapy in kidney function.;Primary end point(s): 6.2. Primary end point: Sustained virological response 12 (SVR12) defined as HCV-RNA undetectable at post-treatment week 12.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Sustained virological response 12 (SVR12) defined as HCV-RNA undetectable at post-treatment week 12. | — |
