Cancer patients get extra shield against COVID-19 in groundbreaking trial

NCT ID NCT04442048

Summary

This study tested whether an immune-stimulating shot called IMM-101 could help prevent severe respiratory and COVID-19 infections in cancer patients. It involved 195 adults with cancer who were at higher risk for severe infections due to their age, health conditions, or cancer treatments. Participants were randomly assigned to receive the IMM-101 shot or to be observed without it, to see if the shot reduced serious illness.
