Patients and Health Staff of Cancer Centres During the Covid-19 Pandemic (PAPESCO-19)

Patients and Health Staff of Cancer Centres During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Constitution of a Biological Collection Linked to a Prospective, Multicenter Cohort Study

The Covid-19 has, in a few weeks, made the world tremble: the number of deaths (mainly elderly and / or co-morbid) continues to increase, the confinement causes the collapsing of the economy and the decline of relationships inter-human. The data are too fragmented and the disease too recent to know its repercussions on the 3 million French people who have or have had cancer. The investigators would like, in 3 populations: * patients in treatment, * or in follow-up and * health personnel, to constitute a large prospective and longitudinal database of data: i / serological: humoral response, test performance, monitoring of serum immunoglobulin levels , reinfection threshold,…; ii / clinical: incidence, severity, mortality and their favorable factors impact of cancer treatment on Covid-19 infection and modification of the quality of oncological care in the context. In parallel, on a more limited sample of establishments, it will be : * appreciate the economic and functional repercussions, * will try to find out about the infection modalities in patients and health personnel and * will appreciate the levels of anxiety and depression to which health staff are subject.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: COVID-19
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: Diagnostic test for SARS-Cov2 for patients and health staff

Detailed Description

The participation of the study will be offered to each patient when they will come to the centre (by oncologist, radiotherapist, surgeon, ...). For the health staff, the information can be delivered through different channels (posting, mail, mail, intranet...). This will make the informed consent available to all staff. Participation will be voluntary: staff who have read the information note and wish to participate in the study will have to register on the "PAPESCO-01" screening schedule, during which they will sign their consent with the occupational physician (or anyone delegated by occupational medicine), then have their first sample and complete the various questionnaires.

The screening of the patients and of the health staff will be done by 2 or 3 techniques depending of the results. The first technic is a blood test done at M0 (inclusion), M3, M6, M9 and M12 and on demand in case of Covid-19 symptoms (rapid serology (immediate analysis), ELISA serology (differed analysis on frozen sample), genotyping of FCGR2A and FCGR3A gens (only at M0)). The second technic nasal swab test (RT-PCR) is done only in case of symptoms (whatever the result of the minute test is) for the hospitalized patients. The results of the tests realised in town will be get back through the questionnaires. The third technic is the questionnaires to the patients and the health staff.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Dosage of IgM and IgG anti SARS-CoV2	The evaluation will be done through the dosage of IgM and IgG anti-SARS-CoV2 at different time of measurement M0, M3, M6, M9 and M12 using a qualitive immunochomatographic test and quantitative ELISA test.	screening period, 3 months, 6 monthes, 9 months and 12 months
Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the minute test for IgM	The result obtained by the qualitative minute test for IgM will be compared to the quantitative ELISA test to know the specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value	12 months
Evaluate the quantification of IgG in long term (M12) in the Cancer Centres populations	The quantification of IgG level at M12 will be obtained by using the quantitative ELISA test for patients in cancer centres and health staff.	12 months
Evaluate the frequency of reinfections among the persons who have developed IgG	The evaluation will be done on subjects who had previously developed IgG and have clinical signs of Covid-19. The signs will be confirmed by RT-PCR which detect the RNA of SARS-CoV2 using a nasal swab test.	12 months
Evaluate the threshold of protective IgG among the subjects who have developed IgG	The evaluation is based on whether or not a reinfection occurs during follow-up and it will be done by the concentration of IgG anti-SARS-CoV2 using the quantitative ELISA test.	12 months

The factors that are significantly associated to severe forms or mortality are : current or recent cancer treatment (Immunotherapy, chemotherapy based on the frequency of grade 3/4 neutropenia and/or lymphopenia), radiation therapy, surgery), concomitant treatment, comorbidities, type of cancer and stage, cancer-related medical history, biological markers	12 months
Evaluate the changes in health care practice	The evaluation will be done by using the PMSI (Program of medicalisation of information systems).

It evaluates the felling of apprehension, tension, nervousness, anxiety. It is composed of 20 questions. Each answer is noted form 1 to 4. A high score (more than 48 for men and 55 for women) represents a high level of anxiety.	screening period, 3 months, 6 monthes, 9 months and 12 months
Evaluate the depression over time	The Depression is evaluated before the screening, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the screening through the HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) questionnaire with 14 items. Each answer is coded from 0 to 3.The global score variates from 0 to 42. A high score (from 15 to 42) represents the existence of an anxio-depressive syndrome.	screening period, 3 months, 6 monthes, 9 months and 12 months
