Abstract Background Seroprotection and seroconversion rates are not well understood for 2-dose inactivated influenza vaccination (IIV) schedules in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHCT) patients. Methods A randomized, single-blind, controlled trial of IIV in autoHCT patients in their first year post-transplant was conducted. Patients were randomized 1:1 to high-dose (HD) IIV followed by standard dose (SD) vaccine (HD-SD arm) or 2 SD vaccines (SD-SD arm) 4 weeks apart. Hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay for IIV strains was performed at baseline, 1, 2, and 6 months post–first dose. Evaluable primary outcomes were seroprotection (HI titer ≥40) and seroconversion (4-fold titer increase) rates and secondary outcomes were geometric mean titers (GMTs), GMT ratios (GMRs), adverse events, influenza-like illness (ILI), and laboratory-confirmed influenza (LCI) rates and factors associated with seroconversion. Results Sixty-eight patients were enrolled (34/arm) with median age of 61.5 years, majority male (68%) with myeloma (68%). Median time from autoHCT to vaccination was 2.3 months. For HD-SD and SD-SD arms, percentages of patients achieving seroprotection were 75.8% and 79.4% for H1N1, 84.9% and 88.2% for H3N2 (all P > .05), and 78.8% and 97.1% for influenza-B/Yamagata (P = .03), respectively. Seroconversion rates, GMTs and GMRs, and number of ILI or LCIs were not significantly different between arms. Adverse event rates were similar. Receipt of concurrent cancer therapy was independently associated with higher odds of seroconversion (OR, 4.3; 95% CI, 1.2–14.9; P = .02). Conclusions High seroprotection and seroconversion rates against all influenza strains can be achieved with vaccination as early as 2 months post-autoHCT with either 2-dose vaccine schedules.

Abstract High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT) is listed as a consolidation therapy option for primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma in the guidelines of western countries. The advantages of HDT-ASCT for primary CNS lymphoma as consolidation are believed to be high rates of long-term remission and lower neurotoxicity, even though its eligibility is limited to younger fit patients. In the Japanese guideline, HDT-ASCT for primary CNS lymphoma is however not recommended in daily practice, mainly because thiotepa was unavailable since 2011. The Japanese registry data for hematopoietic transplantation have shown that primary CNS lymphoma patients were treated with various HDT regimens and thiotepa-containing HDT was associated with better progression free survival (P=.019), lower relapse (P=.042) and a trend toward a survival benefit (Kondo E et al, Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2019). A pharmacokinetic study of thiotepa(DSP-1958) in HDT-ASCT for lymphoma was conducted in 2017, and thiotepa was approved for HDT-ASCT in lymphoma this March, meaning that optimal HDT regimen for CNS lymphoma is now available in Japan. The treatment strategy of CNS lymphoma needs further development to improve survival and reduce toxicity.
