Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main aim of this study is to determine the impact of digital health technology, such as Alexa Skill, used to support the initiation of home-based subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) treatment, treatment management, and overall participant experience.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a non-interventional, observational study to identify relevant concepts of SCIG treatment experience, as well as satisfaction regarding Alexa skill-assisted SCIG initiation, infusion, and disease/therapy management.

The study will enroll approximately 36 participants (26 patients/caregivers and 10 healthcare professionals \[HCPs\]). Participants will be enrolled into following observational Cohorts:

* Adult patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID)
* Caregivers of patients with a self-reported diagnosis of PID
* HCPs who prescribe SCIG for patients with PID

Interviews will be conducted by a trained qualitative research interviewer with patients, caregivers, and HCPs, and self-reported data will be collected.

This trial will be conducted in the United States. The overall duration of the study will be approximately 4 months.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Adult Patients with PID

Adult patients with PID who recently started or will soon begin to complete SCIG (HyQvia or Cuvitru) infusions independently will be interviewed before and/or after the use of Alexa Skill.

No Intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

This is a non-interventional study.

Caregivers of Patients with a Self-reported Diagnosis of PID

Caregivers who recently started or will soon begin infusing SCIG (HyQvia or Cuvitru) for patients with a self-reported diagnosis of PID will be interviewed before and/or after the use of Alexa Skill.

No Intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

This is a non-interventional study.

Healthcare Professionals (HCPs)

HCPs, specifically, clinical immunologists who prescribe SCIG for the treatment of PID and nurses who have experience administering SCIG will be interviewed after the use of Alexa Skill.

No Intervention
