Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Yair Herishanu et al.

Summary: Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia have a significantly impaired antibody response to the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, which is influenced by disease activity and treatment.

Neutralizing antibody levels are highly predictive of immune protection from symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection

David S. Khoury et al.

Summary: The level of neutralizing antibodies is closely related to immune protection against COVID-19, playing a crucial role in protecting against detected infection and severe infection. Studies have shown that neutralizing titers will decline over time after vaccination, leading to decreased protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Seroconversion rates following COVID-19 vaccination among patients with cancer

Astha Thakkar et al.

Summary: Most cancer patients show high seroconversion rates after receiving COVID-19 vaccines, but those with hematologic malignancies, especially after highly immunosuppressive therapies, exhibit lower conversion rates. Patients on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy or hormonal therapy display high conversion rates.

CD8+ T cells contribute to survival in patients with COVID-19 and hematologic cancer

Erin M. Bange et al.

Summary: In patients with cancer and COVID-19, those with hematologic cancer show impaired immune responses compared to solid cancer patients. CD8 T cells play a crucial role in survival, even in the presence of limited humoral responses. The presence of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses in hematologic cancer patients suggests a potential therapeutic target.

Yinon M. Bar-On et al.

Summary: After receiving a third dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine, Israeli residents aged 60 and above who had previously received two doses of the vaccine saw significantly lower rates of confirmed Covid-19 infection and severe illness compared to those who did not receive a booster shot, indicating the effectiveness of the booster dose in reducing infection and severe illness.

Covid-19 Breakthrough Infections in Vaccinated Health Care Workers

Moriah Bergwerk et al.

Summary: Among fully vaccinated health care workers, breakthrough infections with SARS-CoV-2 were correlated with neutralizing antibody titers during the peri-infection period. Most breakthrough infections were mild or asymptomatic, although persistent symptoms did occur.

Weak immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with hematologic malignancies

Florent Malard et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of the BNT162b2 vaccine in patients with hematological malignancies. It found that only around half of the patients may achieve effective immune protection against COVID-19 after receiving two doses of the vaccine. Factors such as being male, receiving B-cell targeting treatment, and having low CD19(+) B-cell levels were associated with a decreased probability of achieving a protective level of anti-S IgG after the second dose.

Antibody responses after first and second Covid-19 vaccination in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

H. Parry et al.

Summary: CLL patients have lower antibody responses after both first and second Covid-19 vaccine doses compared to healthy donors. Patients currently treated with BTK inhibitors or with IgA deficiency are more likely to fail to generate an antibody response after the second vaccine. This study supports the need for optimizing vaccination strategies in CLL patients, potentially including the use of booster vaccines.
