Study in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infected Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation to Evaluate a Human Monoclonal Antibody Against Hepatitis C

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a human monoclonal antibody against Hepatitis C (MBL-HCV1) is effective in preventing detectable levels of Hepatitis C virus in patients undergoing liver transplantation due to chronic HCV infection. The study will also determine if MBL-HCV1 is effective in delaying or reducing the amount of detectable HCV in patients after transplant.
