About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for End Stage Heart Disease focused on measuring Heart Disease, Heart Transplant, HCV, Hepatitis C
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Recipient is Age ≥ 18 years
- Serum ALT within normal limits with no history of liver disease
- Lack of sensitization (i.e. PRA < 20%) that would be expected to result in a high likelihood of needing aggressive immunosuppression to treat rejection
Exclusion Criteria:
- Sensitization (i.e. PRA >20%)
- Any liver disease in recipient
- Albumin < 3g/dl or platelet count < 75 x 103/mL
- Need for dual organ transplant
Sites / Locations
- Masschusetts General Hospital
Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Treatment with Direct Acting Antiviral for HCV
Arm Description
12 weeks of treatment with HCV Direct Acting Antiviral tablet
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Number of Participants With Undetectable HCV RNA at 12 Weeks Post Treatment
Negative HCV viral RNA at 12 weeks after the last dose of treatment.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Clinically Significant Out of Range Lab Values of DAA Therapy in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Transplantation
Safety and tolerablity of commercially available DAA therapy in the cardiac transplant patient will be monitored by quantifying the number of treatment related adverse events per patient and evaluating out of range laboratory results as compared to baseline/pretreatment values per patient.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a proof of concept, single center study for the donation of HCV-positive hearts to HCV negative recipient patients, with preemptive, interventional treatment with 12 weeks of commercially available DAA therapy to prevent HCV transmission upon transplantation.
Detailed Description
The goal of this study is to determine if preoperative dosing and sustained administration of pan-genotypic DAA therapy after cardiac transplantation prevents the transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection from an HCV-positive donor heart to an HCV naïve recipient.
