Abstract
Background

COVID-19 represents a worldwide pandemic and vaccination remains the most effective preventive strategy. Among hematological patients, COVID-19 has been associated with a high mortality rate. Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has shown high efficacy in reducing community transmission, hospitalization and deaths related to severe COVID-19 disease. However, patients with impaired immunity may have lower sero-responsiveness to vaccination.

Methods

This study focuses on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. We performed a unicenter, prospective, observational study of a cohort of 31 allogeneic and 56 autologous-HSCT recipients monitored between March 2021 and May 2021 for serological response after COVID-19 vaccination with two doses of mRNA1273 vaccine (Moderna). In order to determine seroconversion, serological status before vaccination was studied.

Results

At a median range of 75 days after the second vaccine dose, seroconversion rates were 84% and 85% for the autologous and allogeneic-HSCT groups, respectively. We confirmed some potential risk factors for a negative serological response, such as receiving anti-CD20 therapy in the previous year before vaccination, a low B-lymphocyte count and hypogammaglobulinemia. Neutralizing antibodies were quantified in 44 patients, with a good correlation with serological tests. Adverse events were minimal.

Conclusion

mRNA1273 vaccination is safe and effective in HSCT recipients, especially in those presenting recovered immunity.

Resumen
Introducción

Entre los pacientes hematológicos, la COVID-19 se ha asociado a una mayor mortalidad. La vacunación frente a SARS-CoV-2 es la principal estrategia de prevención y ha demostrado eficacia en la reducción de la transmisión, de la hospitalización y de la tasa de mortalidad. Aun así, los pacientes oncohematológicos con un sistema inmunológico disfuncional podrían presentar una respuesta menor a la vacunación.

Métodos

Estudio unicéntrico, prospectivo y observacional, con una cohorte de 31 receptores de un trasplante alogénico de progenitores hematopoyéticos y de 56 receptores de un trasplante autólogo que recibieron la vacunación frente a SARS-CoV-2 entre marzo de 2021 y mayo de 2021, con 2 dosis de la vacuna mRNA1273 (Moderna). Para poder determinar la tasa de seroconversión, se determinó el estado serológico previamente a la vacunación y posteriormente se monitorizó la respuesta serológica.

Resultados

Con un tiempo medio de seguimiento de 75 días después de la segunda vacuna, la tasa de seroconversión fue del 84%, y del 85% en el grupo receptor de trasplante autólogo y alogénico, respectivamente. Se confirmaron algunos potenciales factores de riesgo para la ausencia de respuesta serológica, como haber recibido terapias anti-CD20, un recuento bajo de linfocitos B y la hipogammaglobulinemia. En 44 pacientes se cuantificaron títulos de anticuerpos neutralizantes, con buena correlación con los test serológicos. Los efectos adversos de la vacuna fueron mínimos.

Conclusión

La vacunación con mRNA1273 es segura y efectiva en los pacientes receptores de un trasplante de progenitores hematopoyéticos, especialmente en los que presentan reconstitución inmune previa.
