The objective of this study is to assess the inoculation-related symptoms and long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with lung cancer or pulmonary nodules in a real-world setting. The investigators aim to provide high-quality evidence for the COVID-19 vaccines in cancer/pre-cancer patients, and to address their concern about the safety profile of the newly developed vaccines.
This study will enroll lung cancer/pulmonary nodule patients or healthy people who had undergone standard vaccination procedures against SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. This observatory study will apply an electronic questionnaire to collect general information and post-vaccination symptoms or adverse events of vaccinated pulmonary nodules/lung cancer patients and healthy control. The researchers will further analyze whether the vaccine will promote the progression of primary tumors/pulmonary nodules through long-term follow-up. The investigators aim to assess the adverse events and long-term impact of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with lung cancer or pulmonary nodules in a real-world setting, to provide high-quality evidence for the COVID-19 vaccines in cancer/pre-cancer patients, and to address their concern about the safety profile of the newly developed vaccines.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Inoculation with any type of approved vaccines according to the standard or recommended dose
Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital
Guangzhou, Guangdong, China
Occurence rate of vaccination-related adverse effects
Occurence rate of vaccination-related adverse effects in case group and healthy control group
Time frame: Vaccination-related adverse effects are monitored from the time of inoculation, up to 1 month after each inoculation
Time to progression of pulmonary nodules
Time calculated from the date of vaccine inoculation to the date of reported progression of pulmonary nodules by CT scan
Time frame: The date of vaccine inoculation to the date of reported progression of pulmonary nodules by CT scan, up to 12 months
Time to recurrence of lung cancer
Time calculated from the date of vaccine inoculation to the date of reported recurrence of lung cancer confirmed by pathological examination
Time frame: The date of vaccine inoculation to the date of reported recurrence of lung cancer by pathological examination, up to 12 months
Duration of vaccination-related adverse effects
The period of time calculated from the occurrence of vaccination-related adverse effects to the time of remission
Time frame: Vaccination-related adverse events are monitored from the time of inoculation, up to 1 month after each inoculation
Severity of vaccination-related adverse effects
The severity of vaccination-related adverse effects is defined as three grades: Grade 1 (self-remission without any intervention); Grade 2 (Remission only after medical intervention/s); Grade 3 (Adverse event-related Hospitalization)
Time frame: Vaccination-related adverse events are monitored from the time of inoculation, up to 1 month after each inoculation
