PROSECO: A study of the immune response to COVID-19 vaccination in people with lymphoma

This study does not involve any treatment. The researchers need blood samples from people with lymphoma before and after they have the
COVID-19 vaccine.


Purpose of study

The aim of this trial is to find out how well people with lymphoma respond to COVID-19 vaccination, and how long the immune response to the vaccine lasts.


What is involved

If you take part in this study, you carry on treatment or monitoring for your lymphoma as usual. You have the COVID-19 vaccination as recommended.

You have blood tests:

  • before you have your first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, if possible
  • 4 weeks after your first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, if possible
  • 2 to 4 weeks after your second dose of COVID-19 vaccine
  • 6 months after your second dose of COVID-19 vaccine
  • 12 months after your second dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

Scientists use these blood tests to measure your immune response to the vaccine. You will not find out the results of these blood tests.
