Hepatitis C
Conditions
Brief summary
Patients who are Hepatitis C Negative (HCV negative) and are on the waiting list for a lung transplant at NYULH who consent to participate in this study will receive a lung transplant from a deceased donor that is HCV positive. Patients will initiate treatment for HCV with the pan-genotypic agent, Mavyret, on the day of surgery and will complete the full 8-week treatment course. Patients will be monitored post-transplant for the development of viremia, and for the time course of clearance of viremia among those who develop viremia.
Interventions
Patients will be on 8 weeks of Mavyret
