Starting from 21 February 2020, during the lockdown caused by SARS-CoV-2, oncological patients were allowed to travel for health reasons, but their clinical conditions, organisational difficulties and the risk of COVID-19 suggested adopting prudential solutions. Aim and objectives The AIFA and EMA authorised centres to adopt exceptional measures, promoting the dispensation of more cycles and the delivery of therapies to patients at home. This work aims to verify the impact of these solutions in an oncological centre. Material and methods The number of experimental drugs dispensed from January to 3 June were analysed using an Excel database. Dispensations were divided in three periods to evaluate the trend: daily intravenous (IV) and oral (PO) dispensations before 21 February 2020 (P1), between 22 February and 3 March (P2) and from 19 March (start of shipments) until the end of lockdown (P3), analysing the main issues noticed and the percentage of therapies shipped. Results Therapies in the entire period were 4154; mean daily dispensations in P1 was 39.46 (16.03 PO, 23.43 IV), in P2 40.06 (16.12 PO, 23.94 IV) and in P3 38.71 (14.71 PO, 24.00 IV). During P3, 109 shipments of PO medications were delivered, representing 13.72% of the total therapies. The slight increase in dispensations in P2 was due to the anticipation of visits due to the fear of an imminent closure; the subsequent decrease was due to a higher drug quantity dispensed/shipped per single dispensation. PO therapies decreased slightly (−8.23%) compared with the pre-lockdown period, while IV therapies remained steady over the three periods. Seven transport issues occurred, leading to therapeutic discontinuity in 4 of 109 cases. No therapeutic error was detected during the period analysed, probably due to telephone feedback on the arrival of the drugs. Conclusion and relevance Investigational drug shipment was effective in lowering the impact of the pandemic on the therapeutic continuity, without however becoming the most frequently used model. Logistical difficulties produced four cases of therapeutic discontinuity and the telephone feedback mechanism limited the risk of errors in therapy.

Aim and objectives To analyse the clinical futures and outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in AML patients. Material and methods An observational multicentre study was conducted between March and May 2020 with 117 patients reported from 47 Spanish centres. Leukaemic and viral infections were studied, and inter-relationships were established. Results Median age was 68 years, men (56.7% vs 43.3%), median time from AML diagnosis to SARS-CoV-2 was 4 months and mean number of comorbidities was 1.2. Cytogenetic risk was low in 16.9%, intermediate in 57.1% and high in 26.0%; 55.7% had active disease, 39.2% complete remission and 5.1% partial response. 29.4% were off-therapy and 70.6% were receiving anti-leukaemic treatment: induction chemotherapy (25.3%), hypomethylating (19.3%), clinical trial (17.0%), consolidation chemotherapy (14.8%), venetoclax (3.4%), FLT3 inhibitors (3.4%) and/or maintenance (1.1%). Overall, 3.7% were newly diagnosed, 77.8% had received one line of treatment, 14.8% two and 3.7% four. 15.4% had prior allogeneic transplantation. Only 4.0% of patients were asymptomatic, while the main signs and symptoms were fever (77.8%), pneumonia (75.0%), cough (65.3%), dyspnoea (52.0%), diarrhoea (20.4%), nausea/vomiting (12.2%), rhinorrhoea (10.2%) and headache (7.4%). Analytical parameters were: neutrophils 3112 cells/μL (1900–7300), lymphocytes 1090 cells/μL (1000–3000), interleukin 6 118 pg/mL (0–100), ferritin 4505 ng/mL (15–150) and D-dimer 2823 ng/mL (20–500), with liver enzymes altered in 23.9% of cases. 84.2% received specific treatment for coronavirus infection: chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine (82.2%), lopinavir/ritonavir (54.0%), corticosteroids (39.6%), azithromycin (33.0%), tocilizumab (15.8%), plasma convalescent (3.0%), clinical trial medication (3.0%), remdesivir (2.0%) and/or anakinra (1.0%). The course was mild in 14.7%, moderate in 32.0% and severe in 53.3%. Mean time to negativisation was 20.5 days, duration of symptoms 17.6 days and hospital stay 11.1 days. In 48.1% of cases treatment for AML was maintained, in 26.6% delayed and in 25.3% modified due to coronavirus disease. 47.5% died, establishing an association between mortality and age over 60 years (58.3% vs 36.4%, p=0.043), ≥2 lines of treatment (72.7% vs 44.3%, p=0.020), active disease (62.5% vs 29.4%, p=0.002) and pneumonia (61.2% vs 22.7%, p=0.002). Overall, 47.5% overcame the infection, and in 5.0% SARS-CoV-2 genetic material was still detected at the time of analysis. A non-significant lower mortality rate was observed among: previous transplantation (45.7% vs 64.3%, p=0.19), neutrophil >1900 cells/μL (41.1% vs 60.0%, p=0.09), lymphocyte >1000 cells/μL (42.9% vs 63.6%, p=0.09) and hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine plus azithromycin (35.3% vs 60.0%, p=0.10).
