A Multi-Center, Open-Label Study of Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir to Treat Recipients of Transplanted Kidneys From Deceased Donors With Hepatitis C Virus

Open label multi center study for the donation of HCV positive kidneys to HCV negative
recipients with interventional treatment to prevent HCV transmission upon transplantation.

The study objective is to determine if the administration of the direct acting antiviral
glecaprevir/pibrentasvir for 8 weeks after kidney transplantation is both safe and effective
at preventing the spread of HCV infection from donor kidney with known HCV infection (all
genotypes) to an HCV negative recipient as evidenced by a negative HCV viral RNA at 12 weeks
post treatment.

- Listed for an isolated kidney transplantation

- Waiting list priority time

1. For blood group O or B patients: <912 days of accrued waiting list priority time

2. For blood group A patients: <730 days of accrued waiting list priority time

- Able to understand and adhere to the study visit schedule and all other protocol
