Tixagevimab/cilgavimab (AZD7442/Evusheld) prevent from COVID19 in patients with hematologic malignancies under active chemotherapy

Despite the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, patients with hematologic malignancy may still be fatal from COVID19. Therefore, we prospectively performed the analysis of administration of tixagevimab/cilgavimab in the real-world. In August 2022, 94 patients under active chemotherapy for lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or acute leukemia received a single dose AZD7442/Evusheld (two consecutive intramuscular injections of tixagevimab and cilgavimab, 300 mg each). Quantitative measurement of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (anti-S) and viral nucleocapsid (anti-N) titers were conducted before administration of tixagevimab/cilgavimab and at 1, 3, and 6 months after administration. Twenty-five patients (26.6
