Overview

The French Public Health Council recommended pneumococcal vaccination combined strategy for all immunocompromised patients in 2012. This strategy consisted in conjugated 13-valent pneumococcal injection followed 2 months later by polysaccharide 23-valent vaccine injection. General practitioners are usually in charge of this vaccination. Conjugated pneumococcal vaccine enhances the immunogenicity of the polysaccharide vaccine. Acute leukemia and lymphoma are treated with multiple courses of chemotherapy, impairing the immune system and potentially the response to vaccination. These patients are more at risk for developing pneumococcal invasive diseases than the general population. However, efficacy of pneumococcal vaccination is poorly documented in this setting. We assume that 70% of the patients are non-responders to vaccination, according to their anti-pneumococcal immunoglobulin G titers and the opsonophagocytic activity. To assess the immunogenicity of the pneumococcal vaccination combined strategy in adult population of acute leukemia and lymphoma, the investigator will measure anti-pneumococcal serotype-specific immunoglobulin G titers and opsonophagocytic activity at different time-points after completion of the combined vaccine strategy. The primary objective is to assess the immunogenicity of pneumococcal vaccination combined strategy at 3 months after the 13-valent pneumococcal injection (corresponding to 1 month after the end of the combined strategy) using immunoglobulin G titers and opsonophagocytic activity. At different time points (day 0, 1 month after the 13-valent pneumococcal injection, the day of the injection of the polysaccharide 23-valent vaccine, one month after the injection of the polysaccharide 23-valent vaccine, 3-6 months after the polysaccharide 23-valent vaccine,9-12 months after the polysaccharide 23-valent vaccine), the immunological response to vaccination will be monitored using specific-serotype immunoglobulin G titers, opsonophagocytic activity, and total anti-pneumococcal Immunoglobulin. The investigator will determine predictive factors of non-response to vaccination by comparing demographic data, biological data and treatment received by both acute myeloblastic leukemia and lymphoma patients. The tolerance and safety of the vaccination strategy will also be assessed in this specific hematological population.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient ≥ 18 year-old.
  • AND medical follow-up in hematology unit
  • AND had received a first course of chemotherapy except demethylating for acute myeloblastic leukemia without ProMyelogenousLeukemia-RetinoicAcidReceptor alpha and no planned allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (anti-IDH treatment authorized) or for diffuse large B cell lymphoma or for follicular lymphoma
  • Life expectancy > 6 months
  • Having signed the consent form
  • Having an health insurance

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Receiving monoclonal antibodies or biotherapies altering the immune response, other than anti-Cluster of differentiation number 20 antibodies in the chemotherapy protocol.
  • Uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection less than 7 days
  • Previous vaccination with 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine or polysaccharide 23-valent vaccine (unless 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine was administered in childhood. The last injection must be performed at least five years ago)
  • Preexisting condition that altered the immune response: splenectomy, HIV, primary or secondary immune deficiency, nephrotic syndrome, sickle cell anemia, autoimmune disorder, solid organ transplantation, immunosuppressive drugs or biotherapy not included in the chemotherapy
  • Patient who already received chemotherapy for malignancy in the previous 2 years before the inclusion
  • Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation planned in the following 3 months after the first chemotherapy course

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
