Description
This is a randomized clinical trial to assess whether a subject centered, self-collection of Dried blood spots (DBS) samples will improve compliance with the clinical recommendation of weekly Cytomegalovirus (CMV) testing of Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients who are at high risk for late CMV disease. In this study, mobile devices will be used to remind HCT survivors to perform CMV monitoring using finger-stick collected DBS testing in their home setting or to visit their doctor's office to perform the test. 150 allogeneic HCT recipients \> /= 15 years of age will be randomized (2:1) to DBS monitoring or standard of care (per local institution) monitoring. Duration of study participation is anticipated to be within a range of 26 weeks to 43 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate adherence to recommended CMV monitoring duration and interval during the first year after HCT upon enrollment using subject collected dried blood spot testing.
