Serological responses against seasonal influenza viruses in patients with multiple myeloma treated or untreated with daratumumab after two doses of tetravalent vaccine
Résumé
Objectives
Daratumumab-treated myeloma patients may face increased seasonal influenza risk due to weakened postvaccination immune responses, especially with daratumumab treatment. We aimed to assess humoral responses to boosted influenza vaccination in daratumumab-treated or -untreated patients.
Methods
In a single-center study, we evaluated humoral responses (hemagglutination-inhibition assay) one month following a two-injection (4-weeks apart) influenza vaccination (standard dose) in 84 patients with multiple myeloma (40 with daratumumab in the past year).
Results
Seroprotection rates (titer ≥1/40) after the second vaccine injection were low across vaccinal subtypes (except for A-H3N2): 71.3% (A-H3N2), 19.7% (A-H1N1pdm09), 9.9% (B-Victoria), 11.3% (B-Yamagata). Only A-H3N2 seroprotection rates significantly increased with the booster in daratumumab-treated patients (30% (12/40) after one injection vs 55% (22/40) after the boost; P = 0.01).After propensity score weighting, daratumumab was not significantly associated with a reduced likelihood of seroprotection against at least one vaccine strain (OR 0.65 [95% CI: 0.22-1.88]).
Conclusion
While daratumumab treatment did not lead to a significant reduction in seroprotection rates following influenza vaccination, a booster vaccine injection demonstrated potential benefit for specific strains (A-H3N2) in patients undergoing daratumumab treatment. Nevertheless, the overall low response rates in patients with multiple myeloma necessitates the development of alternative vaccination and prophylaxis strategies.
