Covid-19 Vaccine Responsiveness in MM and Waldenstrom
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This research is being done to see if the immune (defense) system of people with Multiple Myeloma and Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia reacts to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Detailed Description
COVID-19 vaccines are designed to help prevent infections, hospitalizations, and death from the COVID-19 virus. Normally, when the vaccine is administered, the immune system reacts by creating antibodies (proteins made by the body's immune system to fight infections such as COVID-19) and helping the immune system's blood cells to fight it. In people with Multiple Myeloma and Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, their immune system does not function normally, and an effective immune response may not occur. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and the collection of data and biospecimens. It is expected that about 160 people will take part in this research study.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Multiple Myeloma-MM patients People with Multiple Myeloma-MM receiving covid 19 vaccine |
|
Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia-WM patients People with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia-WM receiving covid 19 vaccine categorized by treatment naïve, actively receiving BTK inhibitor,currently or previously treated. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Effective immune response (EIR) rate at 28 days [28 days]
The primary endpoint is the effective immune response (EIR) rate at 28 days following the second or final vaccine dose. EIR will be defined by a positive SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody index (S/C). The EIR rate will be reported along with the exact 95% confidence interval.
