Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has posed a significant challenge for risk evaluation and mitigation among cancer patients. Susceptibility to and severity of COVID-19 in cancer patients has not been studied in a prospective and broadly applicable manner. CAPTURE is a pan-cancer, longitudinal immune profiling study designed to address this knowledge gap.Entities:

Figure 1Schematic Representation of Immune Changes in Cancer Patients that Can Impact Immune Response during a SARS-CoV-2 Infection
(A) Cancer type, stage, and therapy (including surgery, systemic anti-cancer therapy, and other anti-cancer interventions) can result in varying degrees of immune suppression, which conceivably may lead to increased clinical susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 illness.
(B) Examples of the varied mechanisms by which host immunity (innate or humoral/cellular adaptive immunity) is altered, with potential influence on the immune response as well as immunopathologic hyperinflammation of COVID-19. SACT, systemic anti-cancer therapy; Rx, other anti-cancer treatments including radio-, hormonal, targeted, and cellular therapy; ADT, androgen deprivation therapy; CAR-T, chimeric antigen receptor T cell.
Figure 2Overview of CAPTURE Study Procedures and Analysis Plans
Patients are recruited into study arms A or B, and follow-up schedules are bespoke to their COVID-19 status and accounts for their clinical visit/treatment requirements; while healthcare workers are recruited and followed-up according to schedule as outlined. Comprehensive demographic, epidemiological, and clinical data will be collected along with swabs and blood samples. Diagnostic assays will be performed for all participants and will inform selection of samples for detailed immune monitoring and next-generation sequencing. Standard operating procedure documents (for local sample collection, processing, and storage) will be implemented in additional institutions, and sample analyses will be centralized to ensure standardization.
