NCI COVID-19 in Cancer Patients, NCCAPS Study

Conditions: COVID-19 Infection, Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm, Malignant Solid Neoplasm, Metastatic Malignant Solid Neoplasm

Sex: All
Healthy volunteers: No
Enrollment: 1877
Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Location: University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer Center Birmingham Alabama

Summary

This study collects blood samples, medical information, and medical images from patients who are being treated for cancer and have a positive test for SARS CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes the disease called COVID-19. Collecting blood samples, medical information, and medical images may help researchers determine how COVID-19 affects the outcomes of patients undergoing cancer treatment and how having cancer affects COVID-19.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * NCCAPS STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: * Patient must have a prior or current cancer diagnosis (e.g., solid tumor or hematologic malignancy) and cancer treatment that fits into one of the three following categories: * Metastatic (stage IV) solid tumor, any hematologic malignancy, or any central nervous system (CNS) malignancy, and: * Patient is receiving eligible active treatment (defined as current treatment or treatment within the 6 weeks prior to their first positive SARS-CoV-2 test collection) or is expected to begin receiving treatment within 2 weeks of study enrollment * Eligible active treatment types are chemotherapy, immunotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy (e.g., rituximab, trastuzumab, cetuximab), targeted therapy (e.g., BRAF/MEK inhibitor, EGF-R inhibitor), endocrine therapy, radiation therapy, or targeted radionuclide therapy; OR * Non-metastatic (Stage I-III) solid tumor and: * Patient is receiving eligible active treatment (defined as current treatment or treatment within past 6 weeks prior to their first positive SARS-CoV-2 test collection) or is expected to begin receiving treatment within 2 weeks of study enrollment * Eligible active treatment types for non-metastatic solid tumor patients are intravenous chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, targeted radionuclide therapy, or monoclonal antibody therapy (except as noted below) * HER2-targeted therapy (trastuzumab, pertuzumab, neratinib, ado-trastuzumab) that is not accompanied by chemotherapy is NOT considered an eligible active treatment * Patients on endocrine therapy alone are not eligible; OR * Prior or current transplant for the treatment of cancer: * Patient has received an allogenic stem cell/bone marrow transplant or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell or other modified cellular therapy at any time; or * Patient is currently receiving treatment or prophylaxis for graft versus (vs.) host disease; or * Patient has received an autologous stem cell/bone marrow transplant within the past 2 years * Patient must have documented positive viral test result for SARS-CoV-2 * For patients 18 years of age or older, the specimen collection for the patient's FIRST positive test must have occurred no earlier than 14 days prior to enrollment * For patients under 18 years of age, the specimen collection for the patient's first positive test must have occurred after January 31, 2020 * The viral test can be either a nucleic acid (polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\]) test or an antigen test. Serological or antibody tests are not allowed * Any specimen source (e.g., nasopharyngeal swab, oropharyngeal swab, etc.) is allowable for the viral SARS-CoV-2 test * Patients with prior negative viral SARS-CoV-2 test(s) are eligible if they are being tested again * The SARS-CoV-2 test must be a validated diagnostic assay performed in accordance with the most recent guidance issued by the Food and Drug administration (FDA) in the Policy for Coronavirus Disease-2019 Tests During the Public Health Emergency. This policy is available at: https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/policy-coronavirus-disease-2019-tests-during-public-health-emergency-revised * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients are eligible * Patients with CNS metastases are eligible * Co-enrollment on other clinical trials (for cancer or for COVID-19) is allowed * PEDIATRIC COVNET COHORT ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Patients should only be enrolled in the pediatric COVNET cohort if they are not eligible for the main NCCAPS Study cohort or decline to participate in the main study * Patient must be \< 18 years of age * Patient must have a positive SARS-CoV-2 viral test after January 31, 2020 * Patient must have a current or prior diagnosis of cancer. Active cancer treatment is not required * Note: Patients who enroll on Pediatric COVNET cohort will not be followed longitudinally; study data collection involves only a single questionnaire and research blood collection. A separate consent document is provided for the Pediatric COVNET cohort
