About this trial

The "Scanvir" concept aims to achieve barriers to HCV screening and treating of marginalized patients. The concept is applicable to other various populations and territories and should effectively improve HCV patient's health outcomes. The main objective of the SCANVIR project was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and reproducibility of a "test, treat and cure" strategy for PWIDs and vulnerable populations during dedicated days in addiction care centers.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Evaluate the acceptability and the feasibility of simultaneous screening for viral hepatitis B, C and HIV among drug users and vulnerable populations in non-conventional structures using a triple method with RTD and FibroScan® and GeneXpert®.

Feasibility will be assessed by the number of days and the number of participants in all sessions. the acceptability of TROD and/or Fibroscan will be assessed by the number and proportion of double screenings (TROD and/or Fibroscan) performed in relation to the number of screenings offered

Time frame
from enrollment to the end of the subject participation at the end of the day

Secondary outcomes

1

Reinforce screening for hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis Delta (HDV) and HIV,

Number and proportion of patients who accepted immediate consultation with the hepatologist,

Time frame
from enrollment to the end of the subject participation at the end of the day
2

Reinforce education to prevent the risk of viral transmission,

Number and proportion of patients who accepted risk prevention education by the nurse

Time frame
from enrollment to the end of the subject participation at the end of the day
3

Encourage HBV vaccination,

Number of HBV vaccinations offered,

Time frame
from enrollment to the end of the subject participation at the end of the day
4

Evaluate the feasibility of PCR (GeneXpert/Buvard),

Number of GeneXpert PCRs performed, Number of PCRs performed on blotting paper,

Time frame
from enrollment to the end of the subject participation at the end of the day
