Summary

This study aims to eliminate hepatitis C among people who use drugs in Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and Fort-de-France. Researchers will screen participants, provide immediate treatment, and use a peer-referral system to reach more people. The goal is to see if this community-based approach can effectively cure hepatitis C and reduce its spread.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
hepatitis C antiviral treatment
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show a practical way to eliminate hepatitis C in high-risk communities, reducing transmission and liver disease.
What could go wrong
This is an implementation study, not a drug trial, so it tests feasibility rather than a new cure. Success depends on community participation and follow-up, which may be challenging.
