Brief summary

People with cancer may be at higher risk of poor outcomes with COVID-19 infection. This observational study aims to describe the clinical course of COVID-19 infection in people with cancer and evaluate the utility of antibody and antigen tests for COVID-19. The results of this study will inform clinical practice in the management of cancer patients with COVID-19.

Detailed description

Patients with cancer are thought to have a weakened immune system and small observational case series have suggested patients with cancer are at a higher risk of poor outcome from COVID-19. However, the clinical course of COVID-19 infection amongst cancer patients is not known. In addition, it is unclear when it is appropriate for cancer patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection to resume anti-cancer therapy. There is unmet need for diagnostic assays for COVID-19 including tests which can rapidly determine whether the virus has been cleared of the COVID-19. Lateral flow assays investigated in this study are rapid and simple diagnostic tools which can assist in timely diagnostics to inform clinical decision making. This observational study aims to describe the immunological dynamics and clinical course of COVID-19 in cancer patients and evaluate COVID-19 antibody and antigen lateral flow assays. The information from our study will add significantly to the understanding of COVID-19 diagnostics and will improve the evidence-base for the management of cancer patients. Furthermore, data from this study could inform the timing and treatment for cancer patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTThroat/nose swabs

Throat/nose swabs will initially be collected at baseline (D0) as part of the diagnostic workup for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Subsequent throat/nose swabs will be taken at D7 (if an inpatient), D14, D28, D42 and D56. Two samples will be taken, one for standard of care testing and one for lateral flow assay and storage for further analysis later such as quantitative PCR.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTSaliva collection

Saliva will be collected at each study visit, by asking the participant to provide a small amount of saliva (approximately 0.5 millilitres (mL)) will be collected. Saliva will be tested by the lateral flow assay when available and excess material stored.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTBlood collection

Approximately 30mL of blood will be taken at each study visit.
