∗Rates of SARS-COV-2 RT-PCR positivity were not significantly different for any of the treatment categories after correction for the number of tests performed (n = 8, significant p value of p > 0.00625): all p values were above 0.04 using the Chi-square test.). PD1, programmed death protein 1; PD-L1, programmed death ligand 1; TKI, tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Death rates were not significantly different for any of the subgroups of treatments after correction for the number of tests performed (n = 8, significant p value of p > 0.00625): all p values were above 0.15 using the Chi-square test.
