Antibody response after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in adults with haematological malignancies: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have shown remarkable efficacy and thus constitute an important preventive option against COVID-19, especially in fragile patients. We aimed to systematically analyse the outcomes of patients with haematological malignancies who received vaccination and to identify specific groups with differences in outcomes. The primary end point was antibody response after full vaccination (two doses of mRNA or one dose of vector-based vaccines). We identified 49 studies comprising 11086 individuals. Overall risk of bias was low. The pooled response for haematological malignancies was 64% (95% confidence interval [CI], 59-69; I²=93%) vs 96% (95% CI, 92-97; I²=44%) for solid cancer and 98% (95% CI, 96-99; I²=55%) for healthy controls (P<0.001). Outcome was different across haematological malignancies (P<0.001). The pooled response was 50% (95% CI, 43-57; I²=84%) for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, 76% (95% CI, 67-83; I²=92%) for multiple myeloma, 83% (95% CI, 69-91; I²=85%) for myeloproliferative neoplasms, 91% (95% CI, 82-96; I²=12%) for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and 58% (95% CI, 44-70; I²=84%) for aggressive and 61% (95% CI, 48-72; I²=85%) for indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The pooled response for allogeneic and autologous haematopoietic cell transplantation was 82% and 83%, respectively. Being in remission and prior COVID-19 showed significantly higher responses. Low pooled response was identified for active treatment (35%), anti-CD20 therapy ≤1 year (15%), Bruton kinase inhibition (23%), venetoclax (26%), ruxolitinib (42%), and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (42%). Studies on timing, value of boosters, and long-term efficacy are needed. This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021279051).

Increased Risk

An indirect consequence of the improved long-term survival seen in patients with breast cancer (BC) is the increased risk of hematologic malignant neoplasms (HM). This study aimed to analyze the role of postoperative treatment for BC in the development of subsequent HM. Using the French National Health Data System, we examined the HM risks in patients diagnosed with an incident primary breast cancer between 2007 and 2015, who underwent surgery as first-line treatment for BC. Main outcomes were acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), multiple myeloma (MM), Hodgkin’s lymphoma or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL/NHL), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphocytic lymphoma (ALL/LL). Analyses were censored at HM occurrence, death, loss to follow up, or December 2017. The risk of each type of HM was compared according to the initial postoperative treatment of breast cancer. Of a total of 324,056 BC survivors, 15.5% underwent surgery only, 46.7% received radiotherapy after surgery, 4.3% received chemotherapy after surgery, and 33.5% received all three modalities. Overall, 2236 cases of hematologic malignancies occurred. Compared to the surgery alone group, AML was significantly increased after surgery plus radiation (aHR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.0–2.1), surgery plus chemotherapy (aHR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.2–3.6) and all modalities (aHR, 3.3; 95% CI, 2.3–4.7). MDS was significantly increased after surgery plus chemotherapy (aHR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1–2.5) or after all modalities (aHR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.1–1.8). HL/NHL were significantly increased only in the radiotherapy and surgery group (aHR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0–1.6). A nonsignificant increase of ALL/LL (aHR, 1.8; 95% CI, 0.6–3.5) was noted after chemotherapy and with all three modalities (aHR, 1.4; 95% CI, 0.7–2.8). Our population based study revealed increased risks of various HM associated with postoperative BC treatment. The added benefit of chemotherapy and radiation therapy should take into consideration these long-term complications.
