Stepped-Wedge Randomized Control Trial to Compare Integrated, Co-located, Telemedicine-based HCV Management for Individuals on Opiate Agonist Treatment Versus Usual Care Treatment of HCV of Individuals on Opiate Agonist Treatment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Telemedicine for Hepatitis C. Completed, enrolled 602 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To compare the effectiveness of a patient-centered, opiate agonist treatment (OAT)-integrated telemedicine-based approach for management and delivery of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment to persons with substance use disorders (PWSUD) versus usual care, which we anticipate in most cases will be referral to an offsite location for HCV management. The effectiveness will be expressed through the primary patient centered and clinical outcome, achievement of viral eradication, defined as undetectable HCV RNA 12 weeks post-treatment cessation.
