C-ing the Future: Medical, Ethical, and Financial Considerations of Hepatitis C Transplants

Presented on: Thursday, November 21, 2019

Recent studies have highlighted the success of HCV-positive to HCV-negative transplants thus proving the effectiveness of anti-HCV therapy in the post-transplant setting. This course will provide an overview of the history of HCV+ to HCV- transplants, the current landscape and knowledge, and the considerations of operationalizing this into routine care. Join us to hear from Dr. David Goldberg and Dr. Peter Reese, co-leaders in the THINKER, USHER, and SHELTER trials which were pilot studies focused on transplanting organs from HCV-infected donors into HCV-negative recipients.

At the end of the webinar, participants should be able to:

Explain the published data on transplanting organs from HCV-viremic donors into HCV-negative patients.
Discuss the ethical and financial barrier to broad implementation of transplanting organs from HCV-viremic donors into HCV-negative patients.
