Vaccine Response to COVID-19 Vaccines in Patients Using Immunosuppressive

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the strength and duration of the immunological response to COVID-19 vaccines in patients treated with immunosuppressive and/or immunomodulating medication for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases in rheumatology and gastroenterology and after a liver transplantation.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients on long-term immunosuppressive and/or immunomodulating medication may be susceptible to serious COVID-19. Hence, it is important they get sufficient protection by a COVID-19 vaccine. However, these patients may also be at risk for a less robust vaccine response. There is an urgent need to assess the humoral and cellular immune response to COVID-19 vaccines in these patient groups. The clinical consequences could be to administer several re-vaccinations or to adjust medication. This prospective, observational study aims to assess the immune response after COVID vaccination in patients suffering from inflammatory diseases and using immunosuppressive medication. Also, liver transplanted patients on immunosuppressive medication will be included. Serum and whole blood samples will be obtained from all participants before and 1-4 weeks after the vaccination. Additionally, serum samples will be collected every 3-6 months for 5 years. If patients are allotted further vaccine doses , the patient response will be assessed by blood tests 2-4 weeks after any additional vaccine doses. In a subset of patients, samples will be drawn to study cellular immune responses. Demographic data and data regarding immunosuppressive medication will be recorded. Disease activity (clinical activity indices and biomarkers of inflammation) will be assessed. Blood samples will be obtained for biobank. Information regarding vaccination status and potential COVID-19 testing will be obtained from relevant registers. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
