Patients with cancer have a higher risk of infection and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) despite vaccination. In the prospective multicenter VOICE trial (available at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.esmoop.2023.100785, NCT04715438), seroconversion rate after two vaccinations with mRNA-1273 was not inferior in patients treated for solid tumors with immunotherapy (cohort B; n = 131), chemotherapy (cohort C; n = 229), or chemoimmunotherapy (cohort D; n = 143) compared with controls (cohort A; n = 240). At 6 months, across cohorts, there was a similar decline in binding antibody concentration with limited Omicron BA.1 neutralizing capacity. Thereafter, participants were monitored and could receive additional COVID-19 vaccinations in the national program. Here, we present 1-year follow-up data on immunogenicity and breakthrough infections.
