Study summary

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

Read the detailed 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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Immunological response to the vaccine

    Vaccine response, as determined by blood concentrations of serum IgG reactive to the RBD domain of spike protein from the original SARS-CoV-2 virus will be measured by ELISA
