About

To explore the immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine in cancer patients and compare to the general population.

Full description

The purpose of this study is to measure the immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine in cancer patients and compare to the general population. This information can help optimize the timing of the mRNA-1273 vaccine relative to starting treatment for cancer, adding booster immunizations or incorporation of medications that to enhance the immune response.

Enrollment: 8 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 50 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

  • Localized prostate cancer on radiotherapy or have completed radiotherapy in the last three months
  • Prostate cancer on androgen-deprivation therapy for biochemical recurrence
  • Colon cancer on adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III disease
  • CLL on a BTK inhibitor as a first-line single agent for at least 3 months
  • Melanoma patients on adjuvant immunotherapy with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors for at least 3 months

• Have received both doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-1273 vaccine with proof of vaccination or are scheduled to do so;

• Have at least a one-year life expectancy;

• Prior radiation therapy is allowed, as long as it was completed more than 6 months prior to vaccination

Exclusion criteria
