About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Hepatitis C focused on measuring hepatitis C virus (HCV), Maraviroc, Human immunodeficiency virus (HCV)

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. 18 years old
  2. Hepatitis C-infected without plans to undergo hepatitis C treatment for duration of the study
  3. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected
  4. Currently receiving anti-retroviral therapy with HIV viral load <50 IU/ml for ≥ 12 months

    a. One virologic blip ≤ 400 copies/ml permissible within the 12 months

  5. CD4 T cell counts > 100 cells/mm3
  6. Non-cirrhotics and cirrhotics can be included
  7. Willing to sign informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Age < 18

  3. Have any condition that the investigator considers a contraindication to study participation
  4. Pregnancy or breast feeding
  5. Decompensated liver disease (Child-Pugh C)
  6. Imminent treatment for hepatitis C infection
  7. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2.5 times the upper limits of normal

    • Inducers of UGT1A1 (such as rifampin, phenytoin, phenobarbital rifabutin, St. John's wort)
    • Cytochrome P3A inhibitors (such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, nefazodone, and telithromycin)
    • Cytochrome P3A inducers (such as rifampin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital and phenytoin)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The change in hepatitis C viral load from baseline to end of maraviroc treatment, and end of study (weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16) in people infected with both human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C with addition of maraviroc
Maraviroc will be added to existing human immunodeficiency virus anti-retroviral regimens among participants infected with both hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus. Hepatitis C viral loads will be measured at the above time points. For participants randomized to immediate start of maraviroc, maraviroc treatment will occur from day 0 to week 4, and the last viral load will be on week 12 (no week 16 tests). Participants randomized to the delayed start group will receive maraviroc treatment from week 8 to week 12, and therefore hepatitis C viral load will be measured at baseline and week 4 of study participation (prior to maraviroc treatment) and the last hepatitis C viral load test will occur at week 16 of the study (4 weeks after completing maraviroc treatment).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in hepatitis C viral loads from baseline to days 2, 3, 5 and 7 of starting maraviroc in people infected with both human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C
Maraviroc will be added to existing human immunodeficiency virus anti-retroviral regimens among participants infected with both hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus. Serial blood tests for Hepatitis C viral load will be obtained during the first 7 days of maraviroc initiation

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a single-site, longitudinal, open-label, interventional study for evaluating the effect of maraviroc on hepatitis C viral levels in patients infected with both hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and taking antiretroviral therapy for HIV.
Detailed Description
Recently, in-vitro studies (experiments performed in a laboratory, not on a person) have demonstrated that maraviroc, a medication that is used in human immunodeficiency (HIV) therapy, appears to have significant hepatitis C antiviral effect, comparable to sofosbuvir-a potent anti-hepatitis C medication. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the antiviral effect of maraviroc on hepatitis C virus in people infected with both hepatitis C and HIV, and whom have never been treated for hepatitis with direct antiviral agents. Participants will take maraviroc for 4 weeks in addition to their regular HIV antiretrovirals (ART). The investigators will measure the hepatitis C viral load before, during, and after the 4-week maraviroc time.
