Résumé

Immunocompromised individuals such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients are at risk of impaired immune responses to vaccination. The objective of our study was to evaluate SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody responses in CLL patients, after the first, second and third doses of the BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, and after a single dose for patients with confirmed prior COVID-19. Five hundred and thirty patients were included in the study. Patients received 2 doses at a 4-week interval, and a third dose if seronegative after the second dose. Response rate was 27% post-dose 1 and 52% post-dose 2. Post-dose 2 treatment-naïve patients had the highest response rate (72%) followed by patients previously treated by chemoimmunotherapy (60%). Among patients on therapy, patients on BTKi alone (22%) or in combination with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies or venetoclax (0%) had the poorer response rate whereas patients on venetoclax monotherapy achieved a significantly higher response rate (52%). A multivariate analysis identified as independent predictors of the absence of seroconversion: age >65 years, ongoing CLL treatment and gamma-globulins ≤6g/L. Post-dose 2 seronegative patients had a global post-dose 3 response rate of 35%. This study provides an argument for the use of a third dose and for prophylactic SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing monoclonal antibodies.
