NCT05518487

Brief Summary

An open label, non-randomized pilot study in kidney transplant recipients who received a completed primary series and bivalent booster of mRNA based COVID-19 vaccine and have ≤2500 U/mL SARS-CoV-2 S antibody concentration using the Roche Elecsys(R) anti-RBD assay. Up to 80 participants will be enrolled in this study. Eligible participants will receive a dose of the Sanofi-GSK monovalent (B.1.351) CoV2 preS dTM-AS03 COVID-19 vaccine candidate.. The primary objective is to determine whether a booster dose of the Sanofi-GSK monovalent (B.1.351) CoV2 preS dTM-AS03 COVID-19 vaccine will elicit an increased SARS-CoV-2 antibody response in participants who have failed to maintain an antibody titer \>2500 U/mL (using the Roche Elecsys(R) anti-RBD assay) to 2 or more doses of mRNA based COVID-19 vaccine

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • Composite That Includes Death, Graft Loss, Need for Dialysis, and Acute Rejection

    Within 30 days following the study dose of vaccine

  • Death

    Within 30 days or within 60 days of the study dose of vaccine

  • Graft Loss

    Within 30 days or within 60 days of the study dose of vaccine

  • Need for Dialysis

    Within 30 days or within 60 days of the study dose of vaccine

  • Acute Rejection

    Within 30 days or within 60 days of the study dose of vaccine

  • +11 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Kidney transplant recipients

EXPERIMENTAL

This single-arm trial will administer a single dose of the Sanofi-GSK monovalent (B.1.351) CoV2 preS dTM-AS03 COVID-19 vaccine to kidney transplant recipients who demonstrate a persistently low (≤ 2500 u/mL) anti-spike antibody response after completion of primary series and bivalent booster of either the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine or the Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccine, as described in their respective Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs)

Biological: Sanofi-GSK monovalent (B.1.351) CoV2 preS dTM-AS03 COVID-19 vaccine

Interventions

0.5 mL per dose of the Sanofi-GSK COVID-19 Vaccine will be administered intramuscularly in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm

Kidney transplant recipients

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Able to understand and provide informed consent
  • Individual ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Recipient of kidney transplant ≥12 months prior to enrollment, without treated allograft rejection in the 6 months preceding enrollment
  • Maintenance immunosuppressive regimen consisting of CNI and mycophenolate mofetil or mycophenolate, with or without ≤ 5mg/day prednisone or equivalent
  • Received completed primary series (3 doses) of mRNA vaccine (either the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine) as specified in the respective package inserts
  • Receipt a COVID-19 bivalent mRNA booster (Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech) \>30 days prior to enrollment.
  • Serum antibody titer up to 2500 U/mL at ≥ 30 days from the last dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine and
  • days following receipt of a monoclonal antibody product or convalescent plasma for COVID-19, measured using the Roche Elecsys(R) anti-SARS-CoV-2 S assay
  • Platelet count greater than 30,000/cu mm must be confirmed in participants with a known history of bleeding disorder or thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<50,000/cu mm)
  • A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding and one of the following conditions applies:
  • Is of non-childbearing potential. To be considered of non-childbearing potential, a female must be post-menopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile
  • Is of childbearing potential and agrees to use an effective contraceptive method or abstinence for 12 weeks post vaccine and while taking mycophenolate mofetil/mycophenolic acid

You may not qualify if:

  • Recipient of any number of doses of any COVID vaccine product other than the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine or the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine
  • Recipient of any organ other than a kidney
  • Known current or prior Donor Specific Antibody (DSA)
  • Any change in transplant immunosuppression regimen (drug or dose) in response to suspected or proven rejection within the last 6 months

  • Known history of hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components, or history of a life-threatening reaction to a vaccine containing any of the same substances. (components listed in Section 6, and the CoV2 and AS03 Investigator's Brochure)
  • Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to investigator judgment) on the day of vaccination or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0°C \[≥ 100.4°F\]). A prospective participant should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided
  • Receipt of any vaccine in the 30 days preceding the study vaccine or planned vaccines in the 30 days following the study vaccine
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate \<30mL/min/1.73m\^2
