Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of Vaccine Reimmunization With a Third Homologous Versus Heterologous Dose Against COVID-19 in Patients Undergoing Solid Organ Transplantation.

Phase 3

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Covid19
• Interventions: Biological: Spikevax (Moderna) vaccine; Biological: Janssen vaccine

• Registration Number: NCT05048940
• Lead Sponsor: Instituto de Investigación Marqués de Valdecilla

Brief Summary

Patients undergoing solid organ transplantation randomly selected from those who have received two doses of Spikevax (Moderna) vaccine, provided that a minimum of 8 weeks have elapsed from the second dose to the time of the start of the trial. It is planned to include 386 patients.

Detailed Description

The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the immunogenicity of reimmunization against SARS-CoV-2 in patients undergoing solid organ transplantation with heterologous revaccination, testing whether in patients who received two doses of Spikevax Moderna vaccine there is a significant increase at 28 days in their antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 after receiving a dose of Janssen.

The secondary objectives of this trial are:

1. To evaluate the efficacy of reimmunization against SARS-CoV-2 in subjects undergoing solid organ transplantation, in terms of incidence of infection and severity of COVID-19 after revaccination in the transplanted patient.

2. To gain insight into the humoral and cellular immune response conferred by the sequential combination of both homologous and heterologous vaccination over one year, as well as its duration in subjects undergoing solid organ transplantation.

3. To evaluate the safety of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in subjects undergoing solid organ transplantation.

4. To determine the potential existence of differences in humoral (Anti S Ac) and cellular immune response depending on the immunosuppression regimen.

5. To evaluate the occurrence of side effects, including rejection and anti-HLA and DSA antibodies after revaccination.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
HOMOLOGOUS VACCINE	Spikevax (Moderna) vaccine	Spikevax (Moderna), injectable dispersion
HETEROLOGOUS VACCINE	Janssen vaccine	COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen, injectable suspension

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in the production of anti-S1-RBD IgG antibodies.	28 days	Positivity for comparison before and after revaccination and according to homologous or heterologous vaccination will be quantified in the laboratory method units.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of patients with hospital admissions and/or visits to the emergency department for severe symptoms related to COVID-19 infection.	1 year	Confirmed COVID-19 is defined as the presence of at least one of the following symptoms: fever, new onset or increased cough, new onset or increased shortness of breath, chills, new onset or increased muscle pain, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, diarrhea or vomiting, combined with a respiratory specimen, obtained during the symptomatic period, positive for SARS-CoV-2 by nucleic acid amplification (PCR)-based testing or antigen testing.
Changes in the phenotype of effector/memory/virgin B and T cell populations and subtypes of Th and NK cell populations.	1 year	T-cell response to SARS-CoV-2 will be analyzed by flow cytometry.
Incidence of symptomatic/asymptomatic COVID infection after revaccination.	1 year	Confirmed COVID-19 is defined as the presence of at least one of the following symptoms: fever, new onset or increased cough, new onset or increased shortness of breath, chills, new onset or increased muscle pain, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, diarrhea or vomiting, combined with a respiratory specimen, obtained during the symptomatic period, positive for SARS-CoV-2 by nucleic acid amplification (PCR)-based testing or antigen testing.
Change in the presence of activated T cells specific for SARS-CoV-2 (Sprotein).	1 year	T-cell response to SARS-CoV-2 will be analyzed by flow cytometry.
