BACKGROUND: Patients with hematological cancers have increased COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, and these patients show attenuated vaccine responses. This study aimed to characterize the longitudinal humoral immune responses to COVID-19 vaccination in patients with hematological malignancies.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study, collecting samples from March 2021 to July 2022, from patients seen at a cancer treatment center in London, Ontario, Canada, who met the following eligibility criteria: age ≥18 years, diagnosed with a hematological malignancy, recipient of a COVID-19 vaccine during the study period, and able to provide informed consent.

RESULTS: Median anti-S titers (MST) were 0.0, 64.0, and 680.5 U/mL following first (V1), second (V2), and third (V3) vaccine doses, respectively. Patients with lymphoid malignancies' response to vaccination was attenuated compared to myeloid malignancy patients after V2 and V3 (P < .001, P < .01). Active treatment was associated with lower antibody titers (MST 10) compared to treatment 12-24 months (MST 465, P = .04367) and >24 months (MST 1660.5, P = .0025) prior to vaccination. V3 significantly increased antibody titers compared to V2 for patients less than 3 months from treatment. Increasing age was associated with smaller antibody response following V2 (P < .05), but not following V3. Patients receiving anti-CD20 therapy did not demonstrate increased antibody titer levels after V3 (V2 MST 0, V3 MST 0; P > .05).

CONCLUSION: We report an attenuated serologic response to COVID-19 vaccination in our study population of patients with hematological malignancy. The immune response to vaccination was affected by patient age, diagnosis, treatment, and timing of treatment exposure.
