Predictive factors of a viral neutralizing humoral response after a third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine.

ABSTRACT: Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have reduced ability to mount adequate antibody response after two doses of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. French health authorities have allowed a third booster dose (D3) for KTRs, but their response is heterogeneous and tools able to discriminate the responders are lacking. Anti-RBD IgG titers (chemiluminescence immunoassay), spike-specific cellular responses (IFN-γ-releasing assay, IGRA), and in vitro serum neutralization of the virus (the best available correlate of protection), were evaluated 7-14 days after the second dose (D2) of BNT162b2 vaccine in 93 KTRs. Among the 73 KTRs, whose serum did not neutralize SARS-CoV-2 in vitro after D2, 14 (19%) acquired this capacity after D3, and were considered as "responders." Exploratory univariate analysis identified short time from transplantation and high maintenance immunosuppression as detrimental factors for the response to D3. In addition, any of the presence of anti-RBD IgGs and/or positive IGRA after D2 was predictive of response to D3. By contrast, none of the KTRs with both a negative serology and IGRA responded to D3. In summary, routinely available bioassays performed after D2 allow identifying KTRs that will respond to a booster D3. These results pave the way for the personalization of vaccination strategy in KTRs.

Project description:Background and objectivesLong lasting immune response to anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) is still largely unexplored. Our study aimed at evaluating the persistence of the elicited amount of neutralizing antibodies (Ab), their activity and T cell response after three doses of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in pwMS.MethodsWe performed a prospective observational study in pwMS undergoing SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccinations. Anti-Region Binding Domain (anti-RBD) of the spike (S) protein immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers were measured by ELISA. The neutralization efficacy of collected sera was measured by SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirion-based neutralization assay. The frequency of Spike-specific IFNγ-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was measured by stimulating Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) with a pool of peptides covering the complete protein coding sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 S.ResultsBlood samples from 70 pwMS (11 untreated pwMS, 11 under dimethyl fumarate, 9 under interferon-γ, 6 under alemtuzumab, 8 under cladribine, 12 under fingolimod and 13 under ocrelizumab) and 24 healthy donors were collected before and up to six months after three vaccine doses. Overall, anti-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine elicited comparable levels of anti-RBD IgGs, neutralizing activity and anti-S T cell response both in untreated, treated pwMS and HD that last six months after vaccination. An exception was represented by ocrelizumab-treated pwMS that showed reduced levels of IgGs (p<0.0001) and a neutralizing activity under the limit of detection (p<0.001) compared to untreated pwMS. Considering the occurrence of a SARS-CoV-2 infection after vaccination, the Ab neutralizing efficacy (p=0.04), as well as CD4+ (p=0.016) and CD8+ (p=0.04) S-specific T cells, increased in treated COVID+ pwMS compared to uninfected treated pwMS at 6 months after vaccination.DiscussionOur follow-up provides a detailed evaluation of Ab, especially in terms of neutralizing activity, and T cell responses after anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in MS context, over time, considering a wide number of therapies, and eventually breakthrough infection. Altogether, our observations highlight the vaccine response data to current protocols in pwMS and underline the necessity to carefully follow-up anti-CD20- treated patients for higher risk of breakthrough infections. Our study may provide useful information to refine future vaccination strategies in pwMS.

Project description:BackgroundHigh rates of nonresponse to 2 doses of mRNA severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine have been reported in transplant recipients. Several studies have investigated the efficacy of a third dose in this population. However, efficacy remains unclear, as response rates vary across studies. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the efficacy of a third dose of any mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in transplant recipients.MethodsPreferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis reporting guidelines (PROSPERO:CRD42021281498) were followed. Medline, Embase, and CENTRAL were searched from inception to December 2, 2021, without restrictions. All full-text studies reporting on the efficacy of a third dose of any mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in pediatric and adult transplant recipients were included. The National Institutes of Health quality assessment tool for case series and the Cochrane risk of bias tool determined study quality. Meta-analysis was performed via the DerSimonian-Laird random-effect model.ResultsOf 84 records, 12 studies totaling 1257 patients met inclusion criteria. One study was a randomized controlled trial, whereas all other studies were observational. Across 7 studies (801 patients), humoral response after 3 doses was observed in 66.1% (95% confidence interval, 62.8%-69.4%; I2 = 0%) of transplant recipients. Triple immunosuppression, mycophenolate, antiproliferatives, and belatacept use were associated with reduced odds of humoral response in studies reporting multivariate analyses. Transplant recipients receiving a third dose displayed higher levels of neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 variants (Alpha, Beta, and Delta) compared with placebo.ConclusionsA third dose SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine should be strongly considered in transplant recipients. Limitations included lack of controlled studies and clinically relevant thresholds to determine response to vaccination.
