NCT ID NCT04677153
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether offering rapid hepatitis C treatment with help from a peer mentor (someone who has been cured) works better than the usual referral to an outside clinic. 198 people who use drugs and were in an opioid treatment program took part. The goal was to see if more people start and finish treatment with the faster, supportive approach.
