Humoral and cellular immunity to SARS-CoV-2 following vaccination with non-mRNA vaccines in adolescent/young adults with cancer : A prospective cohort study

BACKGROUND: Data on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine responsiveness in adolescent/young adult (AYA) cancer patients are sparse. The present study assessed humoral and cellular immune responses post-vaccination in this population.

METHODS: In this prospective study, patients aged 12-30 years undergoing cancer therapy ("on therapy") and survivors ("off therapy") were recruited. Anti-receptor binding domain (RBD) protein IgG levels were measured at baseline, four weeks post-first vaccine dose (T1), and six weeks post-second dose (T2). Cellular immunity was assessed using activation-induced markers and intracellular cytokine staining in a patient subset. The primary outcome was to quantify humoral responses in both cohorts at T2 compared to baseline. Clinical predictors of log antibody titres at T2 were identified.

RESULTS: Between April-December 2022, 118 patients were recruited of median age 15.4 years. Among them, 77 (65.2 %) were in the "on therapy" group, and 77 (65.2 %) had received the BBV152 vaccine. At baseline, 108 (91.5 %) patients were seropositive for anti-RBD antibody. The log anti-RBD titre rose from baseline to T2 (p-value = 0.001) in the whole cohort; this rise was significant from baseline-T1 (p-value < 0.001), but not from T1 to T2 (p-value = 0.842). A similar pattern was seen in the "on therapy" cohort. BECOV-2 vaccine was independently associated with higher log anti-RBD titres than BBV152 (regression coefficient: 0.41; 95 % CI: 0.10-0.73; p = 0.011). Cellular immune responses were similar in the "on-" and "off therapy" groups at the three time points.

CONCLUSION: Among AYA cancer patients, a single non-mRNA vaccine dose confers robust hybrid humoral immunity with limited benefit from a second dose.
