The study titled "Safety and effectiveness of the co-administration of direct-acting antivirals for HCV and MDR-TB treatment" is open for collaboration!
The main objective of this retrospective study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of concomitant treatment of chronic HCV infection with directly-acting antivirals and of MDR-TB. All centres who have treated at least one HCV-positive MDR-TB patient with directly acting antivirals for HCV are eligible to participate to the study.
A secondary goal is the comparison, among MDR-TB patients who are co-infected with HCV, between those treated or untreated with direct-acting antivirals during the same period (defined as since January 1st, 2015).
