Project description:Patients undergoing kidney transplantation have a poor response to vaccination and a higher risk of disease progression of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The effectiveness of vaccine doses and antibody titer tests against the mutant variant in these patients remains unclear. We retrospectively analyzed the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a single medical center according to vaccine doses and immune responses before the outbreak. Among 622 kidney transplant patients, there were 77 patients without vaccination, 26 with one dose, 74 with two doses, 357 with three, and 88 with four doses. The vaccination status and infection rate proportion were similar to the general population. Patients undergoing more than three vaccinations had a lower risk of infection (odds ratio = 0.6527, 95% CI = 0.4324-0.9937) and hospitalization (odds ratio = 0.3161, 95% CI = 0.1311-0.7464). Antibody and cellular responses were measured in 181 patients after vaccination. Anti-spike protein antibody titer of more than 1,689.3 BAU/mL is protective against SARS-CoV-2 infection (odds ratio = 0.4136, 95% CI = 0.1800-0.9043). A cellular response by interferon-γ release assay was not correlated with the disease (odds ratio = 1.001, 95% CI = 0.9995-1.002). In conclusion, despite mutant strain, more than three doses of the first-generation vaccine and high antibody titers provided better protection against the omicron variant for a kidney transplant recipient.

Project description:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients are at high risk of severe COVID-19 despite vaccination. Little is known about cellular response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in this population, especially in recently transplanted patients (RTP). In this single-center study we examined cellular and humoral response to the mRNA-1273 (Spikevax®) vaccine in recently transplanted patients (RTP, n = 49), and compared them to long-term transplanted patients (LTTP, n = 19) and healthy controls (n = 20) at three different timepoints: one and three months after the second dose (T1 and T2, respectively, 28 days apart), and one month after the third dose (T3). Controls did not receive a third dose. RTPs showed lower IgG anti-S1 titers than healthy controls at both T1 (mean 0.50 vs 0.94 arbitrary units -AU-, p < 0.0001) and T2 (0.37 vs 0.79 AU, p < 0.0001). They also presented lower titers than LTTPs at T1 (0.50 vs 0.66, p = 0.01), but no differences at T2 (0.37 vs 0.40 AU, p = 0.55). The rate of positive T-cell responses was lower in RTPs than in controls at both T1 and T2 (61.2 % vs 95 %, p = 0.007; 59.2 % vs 100 %, p = 0.001, respectively), but without statistically significant differences between transplanted groups. At T3 no differences were seen between RTPs and LTTPs as well, neither in IgG antibodies (p = 0.82) nor in cellular responses (p = 0.15), although a third dose increased the rate of positive cellular and humoral responses in approximately 50 % of recently transplanted patients. However, active immunosuppressive treatment severely diminished their chances to produce an adequate response.

Project description:Immunocompromised individuals generally fail to mount efficacious immune humoral responses following vaccination. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern has raised the question as to whether levels of anti-spike protein antibodies achieved after two or three doses of the vaccine efficiently protect against breakthrough infection in the context of immune suppression. We used a fluorescence-based neutralization assay to test the sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 variants (ancestral variant, Beta, Delta, and Omicron BA.1) to the neutralizing response induced by vaccination in highly immunosuppressed allogeneic HSCT recipients, tested after two and three doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine. We show that neutralizing antibody responses to the Beta and Delta variants in most immunocompromised HSCT recipients increased after three vaccine doses up to values similar to those observed in twice-vaccinated healthy adults and were significantly lower against Omicron BA.1. Overall, neutralization titers correlated with the amount of anti-S-RBD antibodies measured by means of enzyme immunoassay, indicating that commercially available assays can be used to quantify the anti-S-RBD antibody response as a reliable surrogate marker of humoral immune protection in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Our findings support the recommendation of additional early vaccine doses as a booster of humoral neutralizing activity against emerging variants, in HSCT immunocompromised patients. In the context of Omicron circulation, it further emphasizes the need for reinforcement of preventive measures including the administration of monoclonal antibodies in this high-risk population.

Project description:ObjectivesWe aimed to evaluate the rates of antibody response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA vaccine among kidney transplant recipients, and to identify factors associated with reduced immunogenicity.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study including consecutive kidney transplant recipients in a single referral transplant centre. Participants were tested for anti-spike (anti-S) antibodies 2-4 weeks after a second vaccine dose. Primary outcome was rate of seropositivity. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with seropositivity.ResultsOf 308 kidney transplant recipients included, only 112 (36.4%) tested positive for anti-S antibodies 2-4 weeks after receiving the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine. Median antibody titre was 15.5 AU/mL (interquartile range (IQR) 3.5-163.6). Factors associated with antibody response were higher estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (odds ratio (OR) 1.025 per mL/min/1.73 m2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.014-1.037, p < 0.001), lower mycophenolic acid dose (OR 2.347 per 360 mg decrease, 95%CI 1.782-3.089, p < 0.001), younger age (OR 1.032 per year decrease, 95%CI 1.015-1.05, p < 0.001) and lower calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) blood level (OR 1.987, 95%CI 1.146-3.443, p 0.014). No serious adverse events resulting from the vaccine were reported.ConclusionsKidney transplant recipients demonstrated an inadequate antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination. Immunosuppression level was a significant factor in this response. Strategies to improve immunogenicity should be examined in future studies.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients are at high-risk for severe COVID-19 and have altered immune responses to vaccination. We sought to evaluate the dynamics of immune response to BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in HSCT recipients. We systematically proposed vaccination with BNT162b2 to HSCT recipients and gave a third vaccine dose to those showing titers of IgG(S-RBD) below 4160 AU/mL 1 month following the second dose. We then quantified anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies dynamics in 133 of these HSCT recipients (88 after two and 45 after three vaccine doses) 6 months after the first vaccine dose. Mean IgG(S-RBD) titer at 6 months was significantly lower than the peak value measured 1 month after a second (p < 0.001) or third (p < 0.01) vaccine dose. IgG(S-RBD) titers at 6 months were strongly correlated to peak values (p < 0.001) and a peak titer above 10,370 AU/mL predicted persistent protection at 6 months. Seventy-two percent (96/133) of patients retained protective antibody levels at 6 months. Immunosuppressive drugs and low lymphocyte counts in peripheral blood correlated with lower IgG(S-RBD) titers at 6 months. Four patients (3%) developed PCR-documented SARS-CoV-2 infection and one died.

Project description:Immune-responsiveness to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination is reduced in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Previous reports point to a role of mycophenolic acid (MPA). Our observational cohort study included all KTRs at University Hospital Zurich receiving two SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine doses more than 6 months post-transplantation, who were assessed by measuring anti-spike immunoglobulin G (IgG). We applied principles of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to correlate MPA exposure and lymphocyte counts with SARS-CoV-2 IgG. MPA trough levels differ largely among KTRs with a median of 3.1 mg/L (range 0.7-9.5 mg/L). 34 of 84 KTRs (40%) developed positive SARS-CoV-2 IgG after two vaccine doses. KTRs who developed positive SARS-CoV-2 IgG showed significantly higher eGFR (p < 0.001), lower MPA trough levels (p < 0.001) and higher CD19+ lymphocytes (p < 0.001). MPA trough levels <2.5 mg/l and CD19+ lymphocytes >40/μl identify KTRs with seroconversion. Upon logistic regression, MPA trough levels <2.5 mg/L were associated with a 7-fold (CI 95%: 1.589-29.934) and ciclosporin use with a 6-fold (CI 95%: 1.148-30.853) increase in the odds of seroconversion. Our study indicates that immune-responsiveness to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines correlates with MPA exposure measured by MPA trough level but argues against a class effect of MPA. TDM-guided MPA dosing may be a strategy to increase seroconversion rate.

Project description:COVID-19-related mortality among hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients in the pre-vaccine era ranged between 22 and 33%. The Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine demonstrated significant immunogenicity and efficacy in the healthy population; however, its long-term effects on allogeneic HSCT recipients remained unclear. Our study longitudinally evaluated humoral and cellular responses to the BNT162b2 vaccine in adult allogeneic HSCT patients. A positive response was defined as antibody titers ≥ 150 AU/mL post-second vaccination. Among 77 included patients, 51 (66.2%) responded to vaccination. Response-associated factors were female gender, recent anti-CD20 therapy, and a longer interval between transplant and vaccination. Response rates reached 83.7% in patients vaccinated >12 months post-transplant. At 6 months post-second vaccination, antibody titers dropped, but were significantly increased with the booster dose. Moreover, 43% (6/14) of non-responders to the second vaccination acquired sufficient antibody titers after booster administration, resulting in an overall response rate of 79.5% for the entire cohort. The BNT162b2 vaccine was effective in allogeneic transplant recipients. Although antibody titers decreased with time, the third vaccination led to their significant elevation, with 93% of third-dose responders maintaining titers above 150 AU/mL at 3 months post-administration.

Project description:ObjectivesWe evaluated whether the treatment history of low-dose rituximab affected safety profiles, and humoral and cellular responses induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine in healthy controls and kidney transplant recipients.MethodsWe enrolled 10 healthcare workers as controls, 22 kidney transplant recipients with rituximab, and 36 kidney transplant recipients without rituximab without history of coronavirus disease 2019 who received two doses of vaccine. We assessed anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike antibody and the antigen-specific T cells using enzyme-linked immunospot against spike protein at baseline and after two doses of vaccine.ResultsAll controls showed anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 antibody seroconversion and enzyme-linked immunospot positivity. Only 19/58 (33%) kidney transplant recipients experienced anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 antibody seroconversion and 31/58 (53%) kidney transplant recipients developed enzyme-linked immunospot assay positivity after vaccination. The anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 antibody seroconversion rate and enzyme-linked immunospot assay positivity rate after vaccination were not significantly different between kidney transplant recipients with or without rituximab. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated rituximab was not associated with a lack of humoral and cellular responses to the vaccine.ConclusionsLow-dose rituximab in kidney transplant recipients did not affect humoral or cellular responses to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine without severe systemic adverse events including the deterioration of kidney function.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination reduces the risk and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), several variables may impact the humoral response among patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).MethodsA retrospective chart review was conducted among SARS-CoV-2-vaccinated HSCT recipients between 2020 and 2022 at a single center in Boston, Massachusetts. Patients age ≥18 years who received doses of Pfizer, Moderna, or J&J vaccines were included. Anti-spike (S) immunoglobulin G (IgG) titer levels were measured using the Roche assay. Responders (≥0.8 U/mL) and nonresponders (<0.8 U/mL) were categorized and analyzed. Multivariable linear and logistic regression were used to estimate the correlation coefficient and odds ratio of response magnitude and status.ResultsOf 152 HSCT recipients, 141 (92.8%) were responders, with a median (interquartile range [IQR]) anti-S IgG titer of 2500 (107.9-2500) U/mL at a median (IQR) of 80.5 (36-153.5) days from last dose, regardless of the number of doses received. Higher quantitative titers were associated with receipt of more vaccine doses (coeff, 205.79; 95% CI, 30.10 to 381.47; P = .022), being female (coeff, 343.5; 95% CI, -682.6 to -4.4; P = .047), being younger (<65 years; coeff, 365.2; 95% CI, -711.3 to 19.1; P = .039), and not being on anti-CD20 therapy (coeff, -1163.7; 95% CI, -1717.7 to -609.7; P = .001). Being male (odds ratio [OR], 0.11; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.93; P = .04) and being on anti-CD20 therapy (OR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.70; P = .016) were associated with nonresponse.ConclusionsOverall, most HSCT recipients had high SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses. More vaccine doses improved the magnitude of immune responses. Anti-S IgG monitoring may be useful for identifying attenuated vaccine-induced responses.
