    Abstract Background: GRAND PLAN is a prospective, open-label, phase 4 study. Based at a single center and with a single arm, GRAND PLAN evaluated the safety and efficacy of an 8-week course of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P) among active drug users with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a population enriched for factors that may reduce treatment uptake and success, such as disengagement from health care and unstable housing.
    Methods: Participants were ≥19 years old and actively using drugs and were confirmed viremic, noncirrhotic, and HCV treatment naive. All participants provided informed consent before any study procedures. They received G/P for 8 weeks within a multidisciplinary model of care, with daily, weekly, or monthly dispensing of medications to optimize adherence.
    Results: We identified 117 eligible patients with a median age of 46 years (range, 22-75): 27% were female, 21.4% were Indigenous, 48.7% were unstably housed, and 95.7% were active drug users (94.9% fentanyl). One patient did not start treatment, and 4 underwent <1 week of treatment, leaving 112 completed treatments with 94.6% picking up medications weekly. HCV RNA was undetectable at the end of treatment in all 112 patients. One died of unknown causes shortly after treatment. A cure was demonstrated in 108 of 111 (97.3%) cases at the SVR12 time point (sustained virologic response at ≥12 weeks); the other 3 experienced virologic relapse. Considering the entire cohort, the intent-to-treat success rate was 92.3% (108/117). HCV reinfection was documented at SVR24 in 5 cases, 2 of which were successfully retreated.
    Conclusions: GRAND PLAN demonstrates that administration of an 8-week course of G/P to inner-city residents with HCV infection leads to a cure >95%. With a short course of treatment, G/P is an attractive option for this population in helping us achieve the World Health Organization's HCV objectives by 2030.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is having a profound impact on the health, social and economic well-being of people in Canada and around the world. To address vaccine disparity among vulnerable populations facing social-structural challenges, it is crucial to provide evidence-based information on the importance of completion of the recommended vaccination schedule. In this study, we investigated vaccination rates and variables as facilitators or barriers to COVID-19 vaccination among vulnerable populations living in Vancouver's inner-city residents. On a weekly basis, a team (including health care providers [HCPs] and support staff) conducts a Community Pop-up Clinic (CPC) event at single room occupancy dwellings in Vancouver's inner city to provide COVID-19 vaccine and/or related information. Participants also completed a survey about their COVID-19 vaccination status and COVID knowledge, including knowledge about COVID vaccination. We collected data from 892 CPC participants between January 2021-August 2023. The median age at baseline was 45 (IQR 36-55) years, with 317 (35.5 %) female and 285 (31.9 %) self-identified as Indigenous. Within the population, 512 (57.4 %) reported unstable housing and 441 (49.5 %) were active injection drug users. Regarding COVID-19 vaccinations, 235 (26.3 %) were unvaccinated, 119 (13.3 %) had received one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, 432 (48.4 %) had received 2 doses, and 106 (11.8 %) had received at least 3 doses. Variables such as age (AOR 2.28, 95 % CI 1.37-3.80, p < 0.001) and HCV seropositivity (AOR 1.91, 95 % CI 1.20-3.04, p = 0.005) were significantly associated with higher odds of vaccination uptake. Conversely, unstable housing was significantly associated with a lower odds of vaccination uptake (AOR 0.53, 95 % CI 0.35-0.79, p = 0.002). Results from this study suggest that targeted community focused initiatives are crucial to address vaccine disparity among vulnerable populations living in Vancouver's inner city facing unstable housing and drug use injection.

    Abstract Eco-phylogeographic approaches to comparative population genetic analyses allow for the inclusion of intrinsic influences as drivers of intraspecific genetic structure. This insight into microevolutionary processes, including changes within a species or lineage, provides better mechanistic understanding of species-specific interactions and enables predictions of evolutionary responses to environmental change. In this study, we used single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified from reduced representation sequencing to compare neutral population structure, isolation by distance (IBD), genetic diversity and effective population size (N
