Covid-19 Vaccine Response in Elderly Subjects

Conditions
Covid19 Vaccine
Interventions
Biological: Specific antibody and cellular immune response after anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine administration
Registration Number
NCT04760704
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Lille
Brief Summary

The objective of this research is to assess the amplitude and quality of the vaccine response against SARS-CoV-2, defined here by its characteristics established at 3 months, and its persistence over time, defined here at 9 months, in subjects residing in medical establishment for dependent elderly persons, compared to immunocompetent subjects aged 40 to 65 years (control subjects for vaccination over the same period).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison of specific cellular response after anti-SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 mRNA vaccineAt 3 months after the first vaccine administration

Number of gamma interferon-producing anti-S specific T cells detected 3 months after the first vaccine administration between elderly and control subjects

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Specific immune response according to presence/absence of pre-vaccine antibodiesAt 3 months and at 9 months after vaccine administration

Comparison of anti-S specific T cells, anti-S total antibody and neutralising antibody levels at 3 and 9 months depending on the presence or absence of pre-vaccine antibodies compatible with previous infection in elderly subjects

Specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responseAt 3 months and at 9 months after vaccine administration

Comparison of number of anti-S specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells detected at 3 and 9 months, between elderly and control subjects

Correlation between number of T cell , total anti-S and neutralizing antibody levels at 3 and 6 months after diagnosis (neutralization tests will be performed on the variant of interest at the time of analysis)at 3 and 6 months after diagnosis (neutralization tests will be performed on the variant of interest at the time of analysis)

The neutralizing antibody level at 3 and 6 months will be compared to the levels observed during the infection (serologies done systematically, serum available for retro analysis)

Saliva samplesat the time of a COVID-19 diagnosis and 3 months after diagnosis, before vaccination or 3, 6 and 12 months after booster.
Total anti-S and neutralizing antibody levelsAt 3 months and at 9 months after vaccine administration

Comparison of total anti-S and neutralizing antibody levels (to pseudo-viral particles and to live virus) at 3 and 9 months after vaccine administration between elderly and control subjects.

Correlation between number of T-cell , total anti-S and neutralizing antibody levels before the booster and 3, 6 and 12 months after the booster (neutralization tests will be done on BA.1 and any variant of interest at the time of testing).Before the booster and 3, 6 and 12 months after the booster
Correlation between number of T-cell counts, total anti-S and neutralizing antibody levels within 24-48 hours of a positive PCR (neutralization tests will be done on the variant of interest at the time of testing).within 24-48 hours of a positive PCR
Specific immune response after COVID-19 vs after BNT162b2 mRNA vaccineAt 3 months after vaccine administration

Comparison of anti-S-specific total T-cell count, anti-S total antibody levels and neutralising antibody levels 3 months after COVID-19 infection (before any vaccination) and 3 months after vaccination (in subjects who had no COVID-19 before) in elderly subjects

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells and serum collectionbefore the first vaccine injection, 21 days after the first vaccine administration (recall), 28 days after recall, at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months.

Sampling and conservation of mononuclear cells and serum before injection, at D21 (recall), 28 days after recall, at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months, in elderly and control subjects.

Specific immune response according to nutritional statusAt 3 months and at 9 months after vaccine administration

Correlation between number of anti-S specific T cells, total anti-S antibody and neutralising antibody levels at 3 and 9 months and nutritional status of elderly subjects evaluated according to the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in elderly subjects.

Correlation between number of T cells, total anti-S antibody and neutralising antibody at 3 and 9 months, and basal levels of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6, TNF-alpha) in elderly subjectsAt 3 months and at 9 months after vaccine administration
