First seen Mar 01, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether a simple, low-barrier treatment program can help people in jail with hepatitis C get cured. Forty adults awaiting trial at the Rhode Island Department of Corrections will receive a 12-week course of the medication Epclusa. If released early, they take the remaining pills with them and get support from community health workers. The goal is to see if this approach leads to high cure rates and could be used in other jails.
