Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study is testing a combination of hepatitis C treatments for people who are currently on a methadone program (or similar) for opioid dependence. Hepatitis C is a liver infection spread through blood contact, and it is common among people who have injected drugs. The study aims to see whether people receiving medication-assisted treatment for drug dependence can successfully complete and benefit from hepatitis C treatment.
You may be eligible if:
- You have had hepatitis C infection confirmed by blood tests for more than 6 months
- Your blood tests show the hepatitis C virus is still active in your body
- You have had elevated liver enzymes on at least two occasions in the past 6 months
- A liver biopsy has confirmed chronic hepatitis C
- You have injected drugs within the last 6 months before the screening visit
- You are currently on a pharmacotherapy programme such as Methadone, Buprenorphine, or Naltrexone
You may NOT be eligible if:
- You have tested positive for hepatitis A IgM, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B IgM, or HIV
- You have another medical condition causing chronic liver disease besides hepatitis C
