Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of plasma cells, which is highly associated with immune suppression. Consistent with this, reports of outcomes of COVID-19 infection in patients with multiple myeloma show higher rates of severe disease than in the general population. 1, 2 Protection of this vulnerable patient group from COVID-19 infection is crucial but response to the new vaccines in patients with multiple myeloma is unknown. A recent report showing low anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG response to the Pfizer vaccine in patients with cancer included 38 patients with haematological malignancies (nine patients with multiple myeloma) and showed only a 13% response rate, raising concerns that multiple myeloma might be associated with attenuated vaccine response. 3 In the UK, both Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines have been used with spacing of 12 weeks between the first and second doses. We retrospectively assessed serological response following the first SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose in patients with multiple myeloma in our centre. Patients were eligible if they had a diagnosis of multiple myeloma and an anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1 IgG antibody result 21 days or more postvaccination. Details of the laboratory testing and data analysis are in the appendix (pp 1–2). Data collection and analysis was approved by the Royal Marsden Committee for Clinical Research.Clinical characteristics of the 93 patients included are shown (table and appendix p 2). Patients had received a median of one (IQR 1–2, range 0–8) previous line of therapy and 66 (71%) patients were on therapy at the time of vaccination. 48 (52%) patients were in a complete response or very good partial response at the time of vaccination compared with 16 (17%) patients in partial response and 27 (29%) patients with stable disease or progressive disease. Immunoparesis was identified in 43 (46%) patients. Analysis of antibody status occurred at a median of 33 days (IQR 28–38, range 21–61) following vaccination. Of the 93 patients, 52 (56%[95% CI 46–66]) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies on a blood test taken 21 days or more post-vaccination. There was no difference in the percentage of patients with a positive result between those who received the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines (table). On subgroup analysis there was no difference in seropositive rates based on age, sex, disease isotype, leucopenia, or time from vaccination to antibody test (table). However, seropositive rates were different between patients with a good response (complete response or very good partial response) or partial response and those with stable disease or progressive disease (table 1, appendix p 3).
