To explore the immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine in cancer patients and compare to the general population.
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.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
8
Blood sample, 2- to 5 tea spoon full (between 10 to 25 mL approximately) between 43 to 96 days after first dose of the vaccine.
University of Rochester

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
Time frame: 1 year
