Study summary

PROACTIVE NYS is a long-term follow-up study of all infants who test positive for congenital Cytomegalovirus infection (CMV) throughout New York State on the Newborn Screen. By following all infants who screen positive, we will learn important information about the range of symptoms caused by congenital CMV, from those babies with more severe findings to those with no symptoms.

In particular, our study will provide new information about many facets of congenital CMV, including:

  • Developmental, hearing, neurologic, and vision outcomes
  • The spectrum and timing of symptoms
  • The impact congenital CMV has on the baby and its family
  • How many babies are infected with congenital CMV in New York State How antiviral medications and other interventions impact outcomes of children with congenital CMV

Throughout the duration of the study, children will undergo routine developmental and hearing assessments, which will assist with early diagnosis of any infection complications.

Any child found to have a neurodevelopmental, hearing, or vision abnormality will be referred for appropriate evaluation and treatment.

Families will also be asked to complete periodic surveys about their experience with congenital CMV, both as a medical diagnosis and as it affects their day-to-day activities.

Study population

All infants referred by the New York State Newborn Screen Program to a clinical care referral site for a positive congenital CMV test will be approached for enrollment in PROACTIVE NYS. In addition, infants who are identified with cCMV as part of routine clinical care during the study period will be eligible to enroll in PROACTIVE NYS.

Inclusion criteria

  • Neonates born in New York State during cCMV NBS Pilot Program (September 27, 2023 - October 1, 2024)

  • Study participants meet criteria for one of the following four categories:
    1. Category 1 (Confirmed cCMV identified by NBS Program): cCMV NYS newborn screen positive AND cCMV confirmatory test positive
    1. Category 2 (Confirmed cCMV not identified by NBS Program): cCMV NYS newborn screen negative AND cCMV confirmatory test positive
    1. Category 3 (False-positive cCMV screen): cCMV NYS newborn screen positive AND negative cCMV confirmatory test

Groups and cohorts

  • Category 1: Confirmed cCMV infection identified by NYS newborn screen

    Infants who have both a positive cCMV NYS newborn screen AND are positive for cCMV on confirmatory testing

  • Category 2: Confirmed cCMV infection NOT identified by NYS newborn screen

    Infants who have both a NEGATIVE cCMV NYS newborn screen AND are found to have cCMV on confirmatory testing

  • Category 3: False-positive cCMV NYS newborn screen

    Infants who have both a positive cCMV NYS newborn screen AND are NEGATIVE for cCMV on confirmatory testing

  • Category 4: Premature infants with confirmed CMV infection on late positive NBS

    Infants who are: (a) born prior to 37 weeks gestation AND (b) cCMV positive on any NYS newborn screen collected prior to 44 weeks gestational age AND (c) Have a positive cCMV confirmatory test obtained within 14 days of a positive NYS newborn screen

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Congenital CMV infection rate

    To determine the rate of confirmed congenital CMV in a statewide cohort

    Time frame: Study initiation to 1 year time point

Secondary outcomes

  1. cCMV neonatal sensorineural hearing loss

    Rate of neonatal sensorineural hearing decibel loss as determined by Auditory Brainstem Response testing

    Time frame: Through 4 weeks old

  2. cCMV antiviral therapy utilization

    Frequency of antiviral prescriptions

    Time frame: 2 years

  3. cCMV acquired sensorineural hearing loss

    Rate of acquired sensorineural hearing decibel loss as determined by Auditory Brainstem Response testing

    Time frame: 2 years

  4. cCMV neurodevelopmental outcomes

    Neurodevelopmental abnormalities as measured by Bayley Scales of Infant \& Toddler Development-III. The Bayley-III includes Cognitive, Language, Motor, Social-Emotional, and Adaptive Behavior scales. Age-normalized scores are calculated for each domain, with a lower score indicating greater impairment.

    Time frame: 2 years

  5. cCMV-related quality of life

    Quality of life score as determined by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Infant Scales (PedsQL). The PedsQL Infant Scales consist of parent-reported psychosocial health symptoms. A higher score on the PedsQL indicates more severe psychosocial health symptoms.

    Time frame: 2 years

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Feb 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2025, 20 months after the start.

Of 30 observational studies under Cytomegalovirus Infections, half reached primary completion within 45 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 34 and three quarters within 61. This study's planned 20 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 13, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
