A Single-arm Evaluation of the Effect of HCV Treatment on Cardiovascular Disease Risk

Summary

This study will assess the effect of treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) on cardiovascular disease risk. The study will enroll men and women who are infected with HCV and have underlying metabolic disease. All participants will receive a 12-week course of an HCV treatment (elbasvir/grazoprevir). Cardiovascular disease risk will be evaluated at baseline, week 4 on treatment, 12 weeks post-treatment, and 52 weeks post-treatment through noninvasive measurements of endothelial function, insulin resistance, liver fibrosis and steatosis, and circulating blood biomarkers.
