Vaccine Responses in Adult Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: A Comprehensive Review.

ABSTRACT: Consensus on timing of post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) vaccination is currently lacking and is therefore assessed in this review. PubMed was searched systematically for articles concerning vaccination post-HSCT and included a basis in predefined criteria. To enable comparison, data were extracted and tables were constructed per vaccine, displaying vaccine response as either seroprotection or seroconversion for allogeneic HSCT (alloHSCT) and autologous HSCT (autoHSCT) separately. A total of 33 studies were included with 1914 patients in total: 1654 alloHSCT recipients and 260 autoHSCT recipients. In alloHSCT recipients, influenza vaccine at 7-48 months post-transplant resulted in responses of 10-97%. After 12 months post-transplant, responses were >45%. Pneumococcal vaccination 3-25 months post-transplant resulted in responses of 43-99%, with the response increasing with time. Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b at 6-17 months post-transplant: 26-100%. Meningococcal vaccination at 12 months post-transplant: 65%. Hepatitis B vaccine at 6-23 months post-transplant: 40-94%. Measles, mumps and rubella at 41-69 months post-transplant: 19-72%. In general, autoHSCT recipients obtained slightly higher responses compared with alloHSCT recipients. Conclusively, responses to childhood immunization vaccines post-HSCT are poor in comparison with healthy individuals. Therefore, evaluation of response might be indicated. Timing of revaccination is essential for optimal response. An individualized approach might be necessary for optimizing vaccine responses.

Bacterial Infections in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.

Project description:Bacterial infections are major complications after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT). They consist mainly of bloodstream infections (BSI), followed by pneumonia and gastrointestinal infections, including typhlitis and Clostridium difficile infection. Microbiological data come mostly from BSI. Coagulase negative staphylococci and Enterobacteriaceae are the most frequent pathogens causing approximately 25% of BSI each, followed by enterococci, P. aeruginosa and viridans streptococci. Bacterial pneumonia is frequent after HSCT, and Gram-negatives are predominant. Clostridium difficile infection affects approximately 15% of HSCT recipients, being more frequent in case of allogeneic than autologous HSCT. The epidemiology and the prevalence of resistant strains vary significantly between transplant centres. In some regions, multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative rods are increasingly frequent. In others, vancomycin-resistant enterococci are predominant. In the era of increasing resistance to antibiotics, the efficacy of fluoroquinolone prophylaxis and standard treatment of febrile neutropenia have been questioned. Therefore, a thorough evaluation of local epidemiology is mandatory to decide the need for prophylaxis and the choice of the best regimen for empirical treatment of febrile neutropenia. For the latter, individualised approach has been proposed, consisting of either escalation or de-escalation strategy. De-escalation strategy is recommended since resistant bacteria should be covered upfront, mainly in patients with severe clinical presentation and previous infection or colonisation with a resistant pathogen. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as screening for resistant bacteria, applying isolation and contact precautions should be put in place to limit the spread of MDR bacteria. Antimicrobial stewardship program should be implemented in transplant centres.

Adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine in adult autologous stem cell transplant recipients: polyfunctional immune responses and lessons for clinical practice.

Project description:Immunocompromised individuals, particularly autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (auHSCT) recipients, are at high risk for herpes zoster (HZ). We provide an in-depth description of humoral and cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses by age (protocol-defined) or underlying disease (post-hoc) as well as efficacy by underlying disease (post-hoc) of the adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) in a randomized observer-blind phase III trial (ZOE-HSCT, NCT01610414). 1846 adult auHSCT recipients were randomized to receive a first dose of either RZV or placebo 50-70 days post-auHSCT, followed by the second dose at 1-2 months (M) later. In cohorts of 114-1721 participants, at 1 M post-second vaccine dose: Anti-gE antibody geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and median gE-specific CD4[2+] T-cell frequencies (CD4 T cells expressing ≥2 of four assessed activation markers) were similar between 18-49 and ≥50-year-olds. Despite lower anti-gE antibody GMCs in non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma (NHBCL) patients, CD4[2+] T-cell frequencies were similar between NHBCL and other underlying diseases. The proportion of polyfunctional CD4 T cells increased over time, accounting for 79.6% of gE-specific CD4 T cells at 24 M post-dose two. Vaccine efficacy against HZ ranged between 42.5% and 82.5% across underlying diseases and was statistically significant in NHBCL and multiple myeloma patients. In conclusion, two RZV doses administered early post-auHSCT induced robust, persistent, and polyfunctional gE-specific immune responses. Efficacy against HZ was also high in NHBCL patients despite the lower humoral response.

Clostridium difficile infection among hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients: beyond colitis.

Project description:To review the most recent data regarding the epidemiology, risks factors, and outcomes among hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).With the emergence of an epidemic strain of C. difficile known as NAP1 in the early 2000s, rates of this infection have escalated globally. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients appear to be one of the most vulnerable populations for the development of CDI. Traditional risk factors for CDI including antimicrobial exposure and older age are likely only a piece of the overall risk profile, with recent study results also emphasizing other factors such as transplant type, conditioning regimen, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The relationship between CDI and subsequent development of GVHD, particularly of the gastrointestinal tract, is of specific interest. A bidirectional relationship of association has been highlighted in a number of recent studies and underscores the need for further prospective studies to address the potential indirect effects of alloreactivity induced by CDI.CDI has emerged as one of the most common infections in the early transplant period. Recent studies have begun to address the epidemiology of disease, risk factors for, and outcomes after infection in the stem cell transplant. However, more research is needed to unravel the observed relationship between CDI and GVHD.

Immunogenicity and safety of a live herpes zoster vaccine in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

Project description:BackgroundHerpes zoster (HZ) infection of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients is of clinical concern. Vaccination could help restore immunity to varicella zoster virus (VZV); however, temporal changes in immunogenicity and safety of live HZ vaccines after HSCT is still unclear. The aim of this study was to elucidate the temporal immunogenicity and safety of the HZ vaccine according to time since HSCT and to determine optimal timing of vaccination.MethodsLive HZ vaccine was administered to patients 2-5 years or > 5 years post-HSCT. Control groups comprised patients with a hematologic malignancy who received cytotoxic chemotherapy and healthy volunteers. Humoral and cellular immunogenicity were measured using a glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) and an interferon-γ (IFN-γ) enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay. Vaccine-related adverse events were also monitored.ResultsFifty-six patients with hematologic malignancy (41 in the HSCT group and 15 in the chemotherapy group) along with 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled. The geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs) in humoral immune responses of the 2-5 year and > 5 year HSCT groups, and the healthy volunteer group, were comparable and significantly higher than that of the chemotherapy group (3.15, 95% CI [1.96-5.07] vs 5.05, 95% CI [2.50-10.20] vs 2.97, 95% CI [2.30-3.83] vs 1.42, 95% CI [1.08-1.86]). The GMFR of cellular immune responses was highest in the HSCT 2-5 year group and lowest in the chemotherapy group. No subject suffered clinically significant adverse events or reactivation of VZV within the follow-up period.ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that a live HZ vaccine is immunogenic and safe when administered 2 years post-HSCT.

Rhinovirus Infections among Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: A Pre-Transplant Dilemma?

Project description:Respiratory viral infections (RVIs) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) recipients can be of concern due to the patients' depressed immune status, but few data are available about the significance of a pre-transplant positive testing. In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed a cohort of patients that were transplanted between 1 January 2010 and 31 October 2019 in the Geneva University Hospitals with at least one RVI before or after transplantation. At least one RVI was detected in 319/533 (63.5%) transplanted patients. Rhinoviruses were most frequently identified (37%), followed by human coronaviruses (17.1%), parainfluenza viruses (13.9%), and influenza viruses (9.9%). First infection in the post-transplant period occurred at a mean time of 334 days (SD 338). Specific analysis of a subgroup of 65 patients with pre-transplant RVIs was performed. Among them, 39 (59%) patients had symptoms and 14 (21.2%) had a lower respiratory tract infection. Four patients (6.1%) (three rhinovirus and one influenza) needed an intensive care unit admission, of which, three (4.5%) (two rhinovirus and one influenza) were intubated. The patient with influenza infection diagnosed the day of the transplantation died within the first 30 days of the infection. Two patients with rhinovirus infection died within 3 months of unrelated causes. Our data show that rhinovirus infections are predominant in allo-HSCT patients, including among pre-transplant infections; however, mortality due to pre-transplant RVI is low and was only clearly identified in one patient with influenza infection. RVI within the month preceding allo-HSCT is not associated with direct morbidity or mortality in this cohort.

Pulmonary Complications in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients-A Clinician Primer.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) are becoming more widespread as a result of optimization of conditioning regimens and prevention of short-term complications with prophylactic antibiotics and antifungals. However, pulmonary complications post-HSCT remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and are a challenge to clinicians in both diagnosis and treatment. This comprehensive review provides a primer for non-pulmonary healthcare providers, synthesizing the current evidence behind common infectious and non-infectious post-transplant pulmonary complications based on time (peri-engraftment, early post-transplantation, and late post-transplantation). Utilizing the combination of timing of presentation, clinical symptoms, histopathology, and radiographic findings should increase rates of early diagnosis, treatment, and prognostication of these severe illness states.

Immunotherapy of invasive fungal infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

Project description:Despite the availability of new antifungal compounds, invasive fungal infection remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Allogeneic HSCT recipients suffer from a long lasting defect of different arms of the immune system, which increases the risk for and deteriorates the prognosis of invasive fungal infections. In turn, advances in understanding these immune deficits have resulted in promising strategies to enhance or restore critical immune functions in allogeneic HSCT recipients. Potential approaches include the administration of granulocytes, since neutropenia is the single most important risk factor for invasive fungal infection, and preliminary clinical results suggest a benefit of adoptively transferred donor-derived antifungal T cells. In vitro data and animal studies demonstrate an antifungal effect of natural killer cells, but clinical data are lacking to date. This review summarizes and critically discusses the available data of immunotherapeutic strategies in allogeneic HSCT recipients suffering from invasive fungal infection.

Immunity Against Measles in Korean Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.

Project description:The seropositivity of measles antibodies among 261 autologous stem cell transplant recipients (ASCTs) in Korea, assessed approximately 1-2 years after transplant (median, 11 months; interquartile range, 9-14), was significantly lower than age- and sex-matched control healthcare workers (83.1% [217/261] vs. 90.3% [539/597], P = 0.002). The findings underscore the vulnerability of adult ASCT recipients to measles. Clinicians should prioritize testing for measles IgG after ASCT and consider vaccination for ASCT recipients who remain seronegative 2 years after ASCT.

Immunophenotypic predictors of influenza vaccine immunogenicity in pediatric hematopoietic cell transplant recipients.

Project description:AbstractPediatric hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients exhibit poor serologic responses to influenza vaccination early after transplant. To facilitate the optimization of influenza vaccination timing, we sought to identify B- and T-cell subpopulations associated with influenza vaccine immunogenicity in this population. We used mass cytometry to phenotype peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected from pediatric HCT recipients enrolled in a multicenter influenza vaccine trial comparing high- and standard-dose formulations over 3 influenza seasons (2016-2019). We fit linear regression models to estimate relationships between immune cell subpopulation numbers before vaccination and prevaccination to postvaccination geometric mean fold rises in antigen-specific (A/H3N2, A/H1N1, and B/Victoria) serum hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers (28-42 days, and ∼6 months after 2 doses). For cell subpopulations identified as predictive of a response to all 3 antigens, we conducted a sensitivity analysis including time after transplant as an additional covariate. Among 156 HCT recipients, we identified 33 distinct immune cell subpopulations; 7 significantly predicted responses to all 3 antigens 28 to 42 days after a 2-dose vaccine series, irrespective of vaccine dose. We also found evidence that baseline absolute numbers of naïve B cells, naïve CD4+ T cells, and circulating T follicular helper cells predicted peak and sustained vaccine-induced titers irrespective of dose or timing of posttransplant vaccine administration. In conclusion, several B- and T-cell subpopulations predicted influenza vaccine immunogenicity in pediatric HCT recipients. This study provides insights into the immune determinants of vaccine responses and may help guide the development of tailored vaccination strategies for this vulnerable population.
