Brief Summary:
The study is designed as an open, non-randomized, phase IV cohort study in which the mRNA vaccine Comirnaty will be given in two doses. Analyses will be performed on blood and saliva, investigating humoral and cellular vaccine responses. Occurence of local or systemic reactogenicity will be evaluated, as well as adverse events. The study will include persons with primary or secondary immunosuppressive disorders, as well as immunocompetent persons, with the aim of investigating if the immune responses after given Comirnaty mRNA vaccine against COVID-19.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Covid19 Biological: Comirnaty (COVID-19, mRNA vaccine) Phase 4

Detailed Description:
In this study with 450 patients with primary or secondary immunosuppressive disorders (patients with primary immunodeficiency, HIV infected patients, patients with allogenic stem cell transplantation/CAR T cell treated, solid organ transplanted, and patients with chronic lymphatic leukemia) from Karolinska University Hospital, and healthy controls of 90 individuals for comparison, we will investigate the safety and the immune responses after mRNA vaccination with Comirnaty after two doses, under 6 months of time for each participant. The study is In collaboration with research groups at Karolinska Institutet and SciLifeLab, with planned in-depth detailed analyses of antibody responses as well as cellular responses. The study has obtained permission from Swedish Medical Agency and Swedish Ethical Review Authority.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assessment of seroconversion, defined as development of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) after vaccination of 2 doses in seronegative individuals. [ Time Frame: 2 weeks after second dose of vaccine. ]
    Proportion (95% confidence interval, CI) seroconverting to positive response to SARS-CoV-2 IgG serology test after two doses of vaccine, measured 2 weeks after second dose of vaccine.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assessment of any Adverse Events (AE) of the given vaccine [Safety and tolerability]. [ Time Frame: Duration of 0-14 days after each given vaccine dose. ]
    Proportion (95% CI) of study objects experiencing AE including reactogenicity, Serious Adverse Events (SAE), and Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR).

  2. Frequency of SARS-CoV-2 infection documented by positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. [ Time Frame: Day 0 - 6 months. ]
    Proportion (95% CI) of study objects with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

  3. Assessment of humoral and cellular immune responses in blood and saliva. [ Time Frame: Day 0- 6 months. ]
    Description of humoral and cellular immune responses in blood and saliva at baseline, and at time points day 0 (first vaccine dose), day 10 after first dose, day 21 (second vaccine dose), and 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after the second vaccine dose.

  4. Assessment of escape mutations of sequencing SARS-CoV-2 at breakthrough infection. [ Time Frame: Day 0-6 months. ]
    Genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 at breakthrough infection.

  5. Assessment of graft versus host disease in allogenic stem cell transplanted persons after given vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 0-6 months. ]
    Number of occurrence or worsening of graft versus host disease in allogenic stem cell transplanted persons after given vaccine will be described.

  6. Assessment of biopsy verified rejection in solid organ transplanted persons after given vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 0-6 months. ]
    Number of occurrence of biopsy verified rejection in solid organ transplanted persons after given vaccine.

  7. Assessment of viremia, defined as HIV ribonucleic acid (RNA) > 50 copies/milliliter after vaccination in HIV infected persons. [ Time Frame: Day 0-6 months. ]
    Number of HIV infected persons with HIV ribonucleic acid (RNA) > 50 copies/milliliter after vaccination.

  8. Assessment of HIV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels after given vaccine in HIV infected persons. [ Time Frame: Day 0-6 months. ]
    HIV DNA levels at baseline, and 3 and 6 months after second dose of vaccine.

  9. Assessment of oral and gut microbiota in immunosuppressed and controls, in relation to immune response to vaccination. [ Time Frame: Day 0-6 months. ]
    Description of oral and fecal microbiota at baseline and association to immune responses.
