AN ONLINE MEETING TO HEAR ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF COVID-19 VACCINES IN MDS
The SOAP study results have now been analysed and data will be presented at the nationwide Vaccine Task Force meeting, with all clinical and research experts, on Wednesday 13th October. We are also scheduling a Zoom meeting on Thursday 14th Oct – at 5pm – to present these results.
You are all invited to the Zoom meeting.
Guest Speaker: Dr Austin Kulasekararaj, King’s College Hospital
Dr Kulasekararaj will present the preliminary analysis of the SOAP study, specifically the sub-set related to MDS patients.
The SOAP study is looking at the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in various cancers.
There is a specific sub-group about MDS led by King’s College Hospital, and we as MDS UK helped to recruit volunteers for it.
It is a small group of about 40 people – but will hopefully be robust enough to provide a good indication on how well the vaccine is working for MDS patients.
We will relay the initial results and the broad news in writing, on our website. We will also plan further meetings on this topic – as more data emerges.
Please – as ever – register to attend this meeting.
