This is an open-label, pilot safety and efficacy trial for adults who are active on the heart, lung, or kidney transplantation lists and are eligible to receive an organ from an increased risk donor who has evidence of active or prior hepatitis C infection (HCV).
This is an open label pilot study transplanting organs from Hepatitis C positive donors into HCV uninfected recipients at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Heart, lung and kidney transplant participants will be stratified into two different study arms depending on whether the donor of the organ was HCV nucleic acid amplifications technology (NAT) positive or negative. In the NAT positive arm, the recipients will receive a course of direct acting antivirals (DAA) to begin on the day of transplant. If the donor was HCV antibody (Ab) positive and NAT negative, the recipients will receive close monitoring with serial HCV viral loads (VL) and will only begin treatment with DAA if they develop HCV viremia.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| HCV NAT Positive Donor | Experimental | Intervention: 2 week treatment course with a direct acting antiviral, sofosbuvir 400mg / velpatasvir 100mg daily Participants who receive allografts from a donor who is HCV NAT positive will receive treatment with a direct acting antiviral, sofosbuvir 400mg / velpatasvir 100mg daily, beginning on the day of transplant. |
|
| HCV NAT Negative, HCV Ab Positive Donor | Experimental | Intervention: HCV viral load monitoring Participants who receive allografts from a donor who is HCV Ab positive and NAT negative will have close serial HCV viral load monitoring and will be treated with a direct acting antiviral, 400mg / velpatasvir 100mg daily, for 6 weeks if HCV viremia develops. |
