Brief Summary:
An open-label pilot study to further investigate glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB), a direct acting antiviral (DAA) that has been associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom improvement when prescribed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C viral infection (HCV).
Detailed Description:
To perform an open-label pilot study (N=10) to further investigate glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB), a direct acting antiviral (DAA) that has been associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom improvement when prescribed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C viral infection (HCV). The specific research described in this proposal is intended to pilot GLE/PIB for N=10 patients with PTSD in the absence of HCV.
Primary Aims:
Aim 1: Determine the feasibility of testing GLE/PIB for PTSD symptoms. Aim 2: Determine the feasibility of testing GLE/PIB for functioning among patients with PTSD.
Aim 3: Assess the safety and tolerability of GLE/PIB treatment for patients with PTSD in the absence of HCV.
Exploratory Aim: Investigate the possible biological mechanism of GLE/PIB for PTSD via blood bio-marker analyses.
