To evaluate the serum neutralizing antibody titre in cancer patients undergoing active treatment against variants (VOC) before and after the third dose of BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
120
Irccs San Matteo Pavia
Pavia, PV, Italy
Determination of the change in neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 (CLIA method) towards VOCs before the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine and 21 days after the same.
The immune response to viral variants will be evaluated by neutralization tests. In detail, previously titrated and characterized viral isolates representative of the alpha, beta, gamma and delta variants will be used. Any new variants relevant from a clinical and epidemiological point of view will subsequently be taken into consideration. A positive neutralizing titer is considered to be a titer equal to or greater than 1:10
Time frame: 3 weeks
Evaluation of the kinetics of neutralizing antibodies and anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG titer (CLIA method) up to 52 weeks after the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine
The difference in antibody titers from time 0, at 3 and 26 weeks, up to week 52
Time frame: 0, 3, 26, 52 weeks
Evaluation of the incidence of virologically confirmed cases of VOC after administration of the third dose of vaccine.
The incidence will be expressed as patients per 100 people per year.
Time frame: 52 weeks
Evaluation of the incidence of local and systemic adverse reactions (ARs), directly or indirectly linked to the vaccine, in an observation period up to 4 weeks later the third dose of vaccine.
The incidence will be expressed as patients per 100 people per year.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Evaluation of the incidence of "New onset" immune-related adverse events (IRAEs), such as immune-related pruritus, rashes, hypophysitis, hepatitis, pneumonia, diarrhoea, colitis in patients undergoing immunotherapy.
The incidence will be expressed as patients per 100 people per year.
Time frame: 52 weeks
