Efficacy and Safety of COVID-19 Vaccine in Cancer Patients

December 5, 2024 updated by: Mayo Clinic
This study gathers information about how a cancer patient responds to COVID-19 vaccine during cancer treatment compared to healthy individuals. The information gained may help determine how effective currently available COVID-19 vaccines are in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and learn more regarding how long an immune response will last compared to healthy individuals.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the antibody response to COVID-19 vaccine after vaccination. II. To assess the adverse events of COVID-19 vaccines in cancer patients. III. To determine the incidence and severity of COVID-19 infection after the vaccination.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline (prior to first COVID-19 vaccination), prior to second vaccination, 1, 6, and 12 months after the last vaccination. Patients receiving a booster vaccine will undergo blood collection prior to and 1-3 months after vaccination. Patients who receive the types of COVID-19 vaccines that do not require the second injection skip blood sample collection at this time point. This study will collect information regarding the type of COVID-19 vaccine received, date of vaccine injection, and any side effects associated with the COVID-19 vaccine that trial participant encountered. This study will also review the medical record for outcomes and information related to the blood testing.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

  • For healthy individual cohort:

    • Male or female age >= 18 years
    • No history of active malignancy =< 3 years
  • EXCEPTIONS: Adequately treated non-melanotic skin cancer (adequate wound healing is required prior to study entry) or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix
  • NOTE: If there is a history of prior solid tumor malignancy, it must have been treated curatively with no evidence of recurrence =< 3 years
  • PATIENTS WITH PREVIOUS COVID-19 INFECTION: Willing and able to provide research blood samples
  • PATIENTS WITH PREVIOUS COVID-19 INFECTION: Capable of providing valid informed consent
  • PATIENTS WITH PREVIOUS COVID-19 INFECTION: Male or female age >= 18 years
  • PATIENTS WITH PREVIOUS COVID-19 INFECTION: Previous history of COVID-19 infection with positive SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Immunocompromised patients including patients known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive or those on immunosuppressive therapy other than chemotherapy in the judgment of the investigator

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Observational (biospecimen collection, medical record)
Patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline (prior to first COVID-19 vaccination), prior to second vaccination, 1, 6, and 12 months after the last vaccination. Patients receiving a booster vaccine will undergo blood collection prior to and 1-3 months after vaccination. Patients who receive the types of COVID-19 vaccines that do not require the second injection skip blood sample collection at this time point. This study will collect information regarding the type of COVID-19 vaccine received, date of vaccine injection, and any side effects associated with the COVID-19 vaccine that trial participant encountered. This study will also review the medical record for outcomes and information related to the blood testing.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Antibody response to COVID-19 vaccine after vaccination in cancer patients and health individuals
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Wilcoxon rank sum test will be used to compare between baseline and other 3 time points (before the second vaccination, 3 months, and 12 months after the second vaccination).
Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse events of COVID-19 vaccines in cancer patients and health individuals
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Will use descriptive statistics (mean, median, range for continuous variables and frequency/percentage for categorical variables) to analyze demographic data including age, ethnicity, and comorbidity in healthy individuals and cancer patients as well as cancer type and current cancer treatment in cancer patients in association with adverse events after the vaccination.
Up to 12 months
T cell response to COVID-19 vaccine after vaccination in cancer patients and health individuals
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Up to 12 months

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence and severity of COVID-19 infection after the vaccination in cancer patients and health individuals
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Will use descriptive statistics (mean, median, range for continuous variables and frequency/percentage for categorical variables) to analyze demographic data including age, ethnicity, and comorbidity in healthy individuals and cancer patients as well as cancer type and current cancer treatment in cancer patients in association with incidence as well as severity of subsequent COVID-19 infection after the vaccination.
Up to 12 months
