Background: Patients with tumor are at high risk of severe COVID-19, and vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is recommended. Impact of cancer treatment on immunogenicity has not been evaluated well. Methods: This prospective study was conducted to assess the seroconversion rate of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines among patients with cancer and hospital staff. Further, we focused on the difference among cancer treatment regimens. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-specific IgG (S-IgG) were evaluated before the first vaccination, 1–3 months, 4–6 months, and 7–12 months after the second vaccination, and 1–3 months after the third vaccination. The primary endpoint was seroconversion rate measured 1–3 months after the second vaccination. Results: From April 2021 to November 2021, consent was obtained from 629 cancer patients and 210 hospital staff. Excluding missing data and withdrawal of consent, 590 cancer patients and 183 hospital staff without complications was analyzed. At 1–3 months after the second vaccination, S-IgG antibody concentration higher than the cut-off value (20 BAU/mL) was found in 96.1% (567/590) patients with cancer and 100% (183/183) of the healthy controls (p = 0.0024). At 4–6 months after second vaccination, S-IgG antibody concentration higher than the cut-off value was found in 93.1% (461/495) patients with cancer and 100% (170/170) of the healthy controls (p < 0.0001). The significant difference in seroconversion rate between the two groups persisted even after 7-12 months. Patients undergoing treatment regimens such as platinum combination therapy (median: 423.7, 95% CI: 264.2–767.0, p = 0.003) and alkylating agent (median: 57.5, 95% CI: 5.4–748, p < 0.0001) among cytotoxic drugs, and PARP inhibitor (median: 264, 95% CI: 43–690.4, p = 0.0004), mTOR inhibitor (median: 227.4, 95% CI: 5.7–323.4, p = 0.0036), BCR-ABL inhibitor among drugs (median: 124.4, 95% CI: 0.0–288.9, p = 0.005) among target molecule drugs showed lower antibody titer compared to the no-treatment patients with cancer group. Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immunogenicity was low among patients with cancer compared to healthy control. Also, several treatment regimens were found to negatively impact immune response.
