Summary

This study tested whether livers from donors with hepatitis C could be safely given to people who did not have hepatitis C and needed a liver transplant. Five participants received such a liver and were then treated with an antiviral drug to prevent or cure any infection. The goal was to see if this approach could expand the donor organ supply without causing harm.
