Official title
Assessment of the Immune Response to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 Vaccination in Patients With Sarcoidosis
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
People with sarcoidosis, particularly those with significant lung and/or cardiac involvement, who become infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) are likely at increased risk of complications or death from COVID-19. While SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are highly efficacious in preventing COVID-19 in the general population, whether vaccination provides similar protection in people with sarcoidosis is unknown. The investigators hypothesize that people with sarcoidosis develop less robust antibody and cell-mediated immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination than healthy individuals, both as a consequence of the disease itself and due to treatment with immunosuppressive medications. This hypothesis will be examined by determining levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody (Specific Aim 1) and measuring SARS-CoV-2-specific activation of peripheral blood T cells (Specific Aim 2) following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in individuals with sarcoidosis treated and not treated with immunosuppressive medications, in comparison to age- and sex-matched healthy controls. For Specific Aim 1, a second-generation anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG assay calibrated against an independent virus neutralization assay will be utilized. The results of this investigation will address a critical gap in the understanding of vaccine responses in people with sarcoidosis. In addition, the study will contribute knowledge needed to inform clinicians' recommendations to sarcoidosis patients regarding risk of infection after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and will help lay the basis for future trials to evaluate the possible benefit of vaccine boosters in individuals with poor immune responses to initial vaccination.
