Abstract

Importance

Novel therapies for SARS-CoV-2 infection are urgently needed. Antineoplastic compounds that target cellular machinery used by SARS-CoV-2 for entry and replication, including angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), may disrupt SARS-CoV-2 activity.

Objectives

To determine whether patients with cancer treated with potential ACE2-lowering antineoplastic compounds exhibit lower SARS-CoV-2 infection rates.
