What this trial studies
This study focuses on pregnant adults over 18 years old who have hepatitis C and a history of drug use. Participants will receive treatment with glecaprevir-pibrentasvir and will attend four in-person visits to assess treatment adherence and patient experience. The study aims to evaluate how well patients complete their treatment and their overall experience with the therapy during pregnancy. Standard care labs will be conducted throughout the study to monitor health outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve treatment adherence and outcomes for pregnant women with hepatitis C, ultimately benefiting both mothers and their infants.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on this specific approach, similar studies have shown promise in treating hepatitis C in vulnerable populations, indicating potential for success.
