Brief summary

Open-label experimental trial of 12 weeks of Viekira Pak treatment ± ribavirin or Mavyret for adults with chronic kidney disease and hepatitis C.

Detailed description

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of paritaprevir/ritonavir, ombitasvir, dasabuvir (referred to as Viekira Pak) ± ribavirin or Glecaprevir / Pibrentasvir (referred to as Mavyret) for adults with advanced CKD with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 45ml/min that are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 and to determine the effect of treatment on traditional and novel markers of kidney function and cardiovascular disease risk in patients with advanced CKD. During the course of this prospective, single arm treatment trial, we will measure currently accepted markers of kidney function and novel biomarkers of CKD progression to determine if they improve with eradication of HCV.

Number of Patients Who Had Sustained Virologic Response at 12-weeks (SVR12) Post-treatment (Efficacy of Treatment)

Efficacy will be determined by negative HCV RNA viral load measured during the 12 week treatment period as well as 12 weeks after the last dose.

Time frame: 24 weeks

Population: 2 patients did not have hepatitis C checked after 12-weeks post-treatment; thus, we cannot definitively determine that they achieved SVR12.
