: This prospective study investigated the impact of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) on anti-COVID-19 antibody levels in previously vaccinated multiple myeloma (MM) patients with confirmed antibody response (AR). : All patients underwent at least a two-dose regimen mRNA vaccination and later received a high-dose melphalan conditioning regimen and ASCT. : Fourteen MM patients with confirmed AR underwent a total of nineteen ASCT reinfusions; their median age was 55 (34-67). The study found a significant and progressive decrease in antibody levels after ASCT, from 311 BAU/mL at baseline to 276 BAU/mL and 188 BAU/mL after one and three months, respectively, with a median anti-COVID-19 antibody level reduction of 39% (range 16-66%) that was statistically significant ( = 0.014) using the Friedman test. However, the third "booster" vaccination post-ASCT improved the humoral response at six months in nine patients (50% response rate) and corrected, at least in part, the negative impact of high-dose chemotherapy ( = 0.597). Despite the antibody decline, three patients who contracted COVID-19 after ASCT experienced mild, outpatient-managed infections, suggesting sufficient immune response. Furthermore, booster doses increased the proportion of high-responders (AR > 500 BAU/mL) post-ASCT from 22% to 55% (5/9 patients) at three and six months, respectively. : The study concludes that ASCT negatively affects the humoral response, but booster vaccination can improve it, and residual antibodies may prevent severe COVID-19 in these vulnerable patients.
这项前瞻性研究调查了大剂量化疗和自体干细胞移植(ASCT)对先前接种过疫苗且有确诊抗体反应(AR)的多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者抗COVID-19抗体水平的影响。所有患者至少接受了两剂mRNA疫苗接种,随后接受了大剂量美法仑预处理方案和ASCT。14例有确诊AR的MM患者共进行了19次ASCT回输;他们的中位年龄为55岁(34 - 67岁)。研究发现,ASCT后抗体水平显著且逐渐下降,从基线时的311 BAU/mL分别降至1个月和3个月后的276 BAU/mL和188 BAU/mL,使用Friedman检验,抗COVID-19抗体水平的中位数降低了39%(范围为16% - 66%),具有统计学意义(P = 0.014)。然而,ASCT后的第三次“加强”疫苗接种改善了9例患者(50%的反应率)在6个月时的体液反应,并至少部分纠正了大剂量化疗的负面影响(P = 0.597)。尽管抗体下降,但3例在ASCT后感染COVID-19的患者经历了轻度的、门诊管理的感染,表明有足够的免疫反应。此外,加强剂量分别将ASCT后3个月和6个月时高反应者(AR > 500 BAU/mL)的比例从22%提高到了55%(5/9例患者)。该研究得出结论,ASCT对体液反应有负面影响,但加强疫苗接种可以改善这种情况,残留的抗体可能预防这些易感患者发生严重的COVID-19。
