Study Summary

A prospective study in which hematological oncology patients who were vaccinated against RSV will undergo a blood test to assess their immune response to the vaccine. As part of the study, hematological oncology patients with CLL, lymphoma, acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and multiple myeloma, who are being monitored at the Hematology Institute at Ichilov, will be offered a blood test to evaluate their immune response to the RSV vaccine (serology, neutralizing antibodies, and cellular response). In the study, a blood sample of up to 10 ml will be taken in a chemistry tube and blood bank on the day of vaccination and about one month after that. The serological test will be conducted in the hospital's virology laboratory. The test result and its significance will be communicated to the patient by the treating hematologist in our clinic. In this group of patients, a follow-up will be conducted over a 12-month period (during routine clinic visits) to document the incidence of RSV infection and complications related to the vaccine.

Study Description

participants 250 Single-center Research hypothesis approximately 60%-70% of the 250 hematological oncology patients who will participate in the study will achieve a positive serological response. This estimate is based on a study published in the NEJM which included participants aged 60 and above, without hematological oncological diseases or other conditions causing immunosuppression, where a response was observed in 83.7% of participants. We estimate that the response rate in hematological oncology patients will be lower, ranging from 60-70%, reflecting the degree of immune suppression associated with their disease and the treatment they received.

The study will include patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, leukemia, and myeloma. We expect that approximately 60 patients will belong to each of these subgroups, so the sample size will allow an assessment of the immune response within these subpopulations.
