Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - 'One-stop-shop' hepatitis clinic

No intervention: Standard of care - The first group (n=240) of participants enrolled in the study will be assigned to the control period to receive the standard of care.

Experimental: 'One-stop-shop' intervention - Following the control period, the second group (n=300) of participants enrolled in the study will be assigned to the intervention period to receive the 'one-stop-shop' intervention.


Other interventions: 'One-stop-shop' hepatitis clinic
Establishment of a 'one-stop-shop' hepatitis clinic, integrating point-of-care HCV RNA testing, followed by clinical assessment, non-invasive liver fibrosis assessment by fibro-elastography (Fibroscan), and early DAA prescription (for those with chronic HCV) followed by linkage to ongoing hepatitis care, all in the same 60-minute visit.

Summary
Brief summary
A prospective historically controlled study to assess the effect of an intervention integrating point-of-care hepatitis C (HCV) RNA testing, non-invasive liver fibrosis assessment, fast-tracked direct-acting antiviral (DAA) prescription, and linkage to hepatitis care (a 'one-stop-shop' intervention), on the proportion of participants initiating DAA therapy among people who are recently incarcerated within reception correctional centre(s) in Australia.
