Brief Summary

Covid-19 has a very bad prognosis in solid organ transplant recipients with a 60 days-mortality exceeding 20%. For this reason, transplant patients were prioritized to receive Covid-19 vaccination since December 2020 in France. Unfortunately, the vaccine response of these patients is insufficient after a standard vaccine regimen including 2 doses of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) vaccine with a 50% seroconversion rate in many cohorts. As a result, on the advice of the "Conseil National d'Orientation Vaccinale", the French Health Authorities has authorized physicians to offer a 3rd dose of vaccine to organ transplant patients since April 11, 2021. The subsequent studies showed that half of the patients who did not seroconvert after the 2nd dose did develop a vaccine response after the third dose. For patients who do not respond after the 3rd dose, the clinicians are now allowed to offer a 4th dose of vaccine.

Unfortunately, approximately 25% of patients still remain non-responders to this 3- or 4-doses vaccine regimen. In addition, transplant recipients who do not developed a vaccine response after the 3rd dose are very unlikely to respond after the 4th dose. For patients who do not respond to the vaccination, the French Health Authorities had authorized the infusion of SARS Cov2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) monoclonal antibodies as a pre-exposition prophylaxis in immunocompromised patients.

The value of using the TIXAGEVIMAB/CILGAVIMAB monoclonal antibody cocktail as primary prophylaxis has been demonstrated in the general population but this study did not include immunocompromised patients.

Here, the investigators propose to study the pharmacokinetics of TIXAGEVIMAB/CILGAVIMAB given in a pre-exposition prophylaxis scheme in non-responder solid organ transplanted patients after an adapted vaccinal scheme (i.e. 3 doses or more of mRNA vaccines).

GroupInterventionDescription
Switched patientsBlood and saliva samplingsThis study involve non-responder solid organ transplanted patients after an adapted vaccinal scheme (i.e. 3 doses or more of mRNA vaccines). Patients included in Group 2 have previously received anti-SARS Cov2 monoclonal antibodies. They will have additional blood and saliva samplings during their study visits, which are included in their usual medical follow-up.
Naïve patientsBlood and saliva samplingsThis study involve non-responder solid organ transplanted patients after an adapted vaccinal scheme (i.e. 3 doses or more of mRNA vaccines). Patients included in Group 1 are naïve patients; there have never received anti-SARS Cov2 monoclonal antibodies. They will have additional blood and saliva samplings during their study visits, which are included in their usual medical follow-up.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of patients whose serum has viral neutralization capacity in vitro at M6 after TIXAGEVIMAB/CILGAVIMAB injection.At Month 6.

Viral neutralization capacity will be analyzed by performing in-vitro neutralization tests from blood samples of enrolled patients.

Samples will be analyzed centrally by virology Laboratory of Strasbourg Hospital throughout the study.
