Finger-Prick test at home boosts virus monitoring in transplant patients
NCT ID NCT03910478
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether having patients collect a small blood sample at home (using a finger prick) and getting reminders on their phone could help them stick to weekly testing for cytomegalovirus (CMV) after a stem cell transplant. About 150 transplant recipients took part. The goal was to see if this approach improved how many recommended tests were completed compared to standard care. The findings could make monitoring easier and more convenient for patients.
