Study summary

This 5-year study was designed to investigate how antibody and T cell responses following influenza vaccine compare among lung transplant patients, patients waiting for lung transplantation, and healthy individuals.

Read the detailed description

[Note: there are 6 ClinicalTrials.gov records associated with this study, each representing a different sub-study of the population over the 5-year period, please see NCT04533061, NCT04533139, NCT04531787, NCT04530786, and NCT04531657 for related data]

Although pre-transplant immunization is routinely recommended, this recommendation is based on little data. The primary objective of this study is to compare antibody responses in lung transplant patients who receive influenza vaccine before transplant, within the first six months of transplant, between 13 and 60 months post-transplant, and 110 months or beyond transplant.

This prospective cohort study is to include immunization events performed over five years to measure H1N1, H3N2, and B antibody responses to the influenza vaccine in pre- and post-lung transplant patients. The pre-transplant patients will move to the post-transplant group as the study progressed. Similarly, participants are allowed to move to the next time-since-transplant group as time elapsed.

Serum was collected from participants prior to and two-four weeks following trivalent inactivated influenza immunization for each season.

Geometric mean titers, seroprotection (antibody titer at least 1:40), seroconversion (fourfold increase between pre and post), and mean fold increases will be compared.
