Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is evaluate the acceptability/usage of a newly implemented model of delivery of care, namely a community-pharmacy program, to provide access to medications to treat hepatitis C (HCV), and prevent overdose and HIV, for persons who inject drugs (PWID) with HCV who are in need of treatment. Adults will be enrolled who test positive for HCV at community sites and who agree to linkage to the community-pharmacy program through the use of patient navigators. The primary outcome of the study will be the measure of the number/% of participants who are successfully linked to the community-pharmacy program and assess HCV treatment initiation, completion, and cure. In addition, other outcomes including receipt of other medications (e.g. Naloxone, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and medications for opioid use disorders), and self-reported substance use and HIV risk behaviors will also be measured.


Clinical Trial Description

Single-arm, prospective observational study of 40 adult persons who inject drugs (PWID) who screen positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) with a reactive antibody test at community sites who are offered facilitated linkage to community-pharmacy program through patient navigators. Individuals who are eligible and enroll will complete a baseline survey to assess sociodemographics, substance use, HIV risk behaviors, and awareness of and interest in HCV treatment. After the survey, the participants will be linked to the community-pharmacy program, via the patient navigator, where treatment for HCV and opioid use disorder (OUD), as well as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), Naloxone and vaccinations, will be offered to participants. After 6 months, participants will complete a follow-up survey, which will include questions on: whether an evaluation for HCV occurred at the community pharmacy, whether HCV treatment was initiated since baseline visit, substance use, HIV risk behaviors, receipt of medications to treat HCV, opioid use disorder, Naloxone and PrEP receipt, medication adherence, and injecting network. ;
