RECRUITING

DBS TaT in Peer-assisted Telemedicine for Hepatitis C

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of treatment initiation achieved by peer-assisted telemedicine contingent on phlebotomy (usual care) versus that achieved with a new protocol, called Dried Blood Spot Test and Treat (DBS TaT). DBS TaT includes DBS testing to diagnose hepatitis C (HCV), utilizes a novel clinical decision aid that identifies patients who are low risk for hepatic (liver) fibrosis, and directs those patients to HCV treatment initiation prior to routine hepatic fibrosis assessment. The investigators hypothesize that DBS TaT will increase the rate of HCV treatment initiation compared to peer-assisted telemedicine contingent on phlebotomy (usual care).
