Data on antibody response (AR) after vaccination against SARS-CoV2 in hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation setting (HSCT) were initially scarce, mainly due to the exclusion of such patients from approval studies. Shortly after the worldwide application of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in vulnerable populations such as patients with hematologic malignancies, limited single-center trials, including HSCT patients, were published. However, there was a great heterogeneity between them regarding the type of underlying malignancy, co-current treatment, type of vaccine, method of AR measurement, and time point of AR measurement. Herein, we present the results of a prospective study on AR after vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 using the BNT162b2 vaccine in a cohort of 54 HSCT recipients-mostly autologous from a single Unit-along with a broad review of the current literature. In our cohort, the AR positivity rate at 1 month was 80.8% and remained positive in 85.7% of patients at 3 months after vaccination. There were only nine non-responders, who were more heavily pretreated and more frequently hypogammaglobulinemic compared to responders. High antibody titers (AT), [AT ≥ 1000 U/mL], were detected in 38.5% and 30.6% of the patients at m and m, respectively. A significant decline in AT between m and m was demonstrated- < 0.0001; median AT and AT were 480.5 and 293 U/mL, respectively. A novel finding of our study was the negative impact of IgA hypogammaglobulinemia on response to vaccination. Other negative significant factors were treatment with anti-CD20 antibody at vaccination and vaccination within 18 months from HSCT. Our data indicate that HSCT recipients elicit a positive response to the BNT162b2 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 when vaccinated at 6 months post-transplant, and vaccination should be offered to this patient population even within the post-pandemic COVID-19 era.
造血干细胞移植(HSCT)背景下接种严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV2)疫苗后的抗体反应(AR)数据最初很稀少,主要是因为此类患者被排除在获批研究之外。在针对血液系统恶性肿瘤患者等弱势群体全球接种SARS-CoV2疫苗后不久,包括HSCT患者在内的有限的单中心试验发表了。然而,它们在潜在恶性肿瘤类型、同期治疗、疫苗类型、AR测量方法以及AR测量时间点方面存在很大异质性。在此,我们展示了一项针对54名HSCT受者(大多为来自单一单位的自体移植受者)队列使用BNT162b2疫苗接种SARS-CoV2后AR的前瞻性研究结果,并对当前文献进行了广泛综述。在我们的队列中,1个月时AR阳性率为80.8%,接种疫苗3个月后85.7%的患者仍为阳性。只有9名无反应者,与反应者相比,他们接受的预处理更重,低丙种球蛋白血症更频繁。分别在第m个月和第m个月,38.5%和30.6%的患者检测到高抗体滴度(AT),[AT≥1000 U/mL]。第m个月和第m个月之间AT有显著下降 - <0.0001;AT中位数和AT分别为480.5和293 U/mL。我们研究的一个新发现是IgA低丙种球蛋白血症对疫苗接种反应有负面影响。其他负面显著因素是接种疫苗时使用抗CD20抗体治疗以及HSCT后18个月内接种疫苗。我们的数据表明,HSCT受者在移植后6个月接种时对针对SARS-CoV2的BNT162b2疫苗产生阳性反应,即使在新冠疫情后时代,也应向该患者群体提供疫苗接种。
