Study summary

Descriptive study of the residual anti-pneumococcal immunity in patients with Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) who have previously gone through pneumococcal immunization.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine, through serotype-specific enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and opsonophagocytosis (OPA) titres whether AAV patients who have gone through pneumococcal vaccination are protected against invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Residual anti-pneumococcal immunity after pneumococcal immunization.

    Proportion of patients at baseline (V0) with ≥1 µg/mL ELISA immunoglobulins G (IgG) antibody titers to at least 6 of the 10 shared serotypes (i.e. 3, 4, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F) included both in the 13-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) and in the 23-valent non-conjugate pneumococcal vaccine (PPV23)

    Time frame: visit V0 (day 0)

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess serotype 3, 4, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19 A, 19F, 23F, 10A and 12F-specific residual immunity after vaccination

    ELISA specific antibody titres to serotype 3, 4, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19 A, 19F, 23F (included both in PCV13 and PPV23), 10A and 12F (specific to PPV23)

    Time frame: visit V0 (day 0), visit V-1 (pre immunization)

  2. For each of the following serotypes (3, 4, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F), to assess among ELISA-protected patients (i.e. with a ≥1 µg/mL ELISA IgG antibody titer) the proportion who also show in vitro opsonophagocytic antibody activity

    Descriptive analysis: a/ For each of the following serotypes (3, 4, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F), opsonophagocytosis (OPA) titers will be measured in ELISA-protected patients at V0. Opsonophagocytic antibody activity is considered positive if the antibody titer is above a serotype-specific predefined threshold. B/ The proportion of overall OPA-protected patients (meaning ≥ 50% of OPA positive serotypes )

    Time frame: visit V0 (day 0)

  3. For patients for whom pre-vaccinal serum is available (via the PHENOVASC bank), to assess the impact of immunization on serotype-specific ELISA antibody titer and OPA activity.

    For patients already included in the PHENOVASC study (V-1) ≤6 months before receiving pneumococcal immunization, anti-pneumococcal immunity will be assessed for serotype 3 , 4 , 6B, 7F, 9V, 14 , 18C, 19A , 19F , 23F, 10A and 12F (with ELISA only for the two latter). For each serotype: In ELISA, we will describe the proportion of responding patients (i.e. with a two-fold increase from V-1 to VO and a ≥1 μg/ml titre at V0. In VO ELISA-responding patients, OPA titers will be measured. An opsonophagocytic antibody activity is considered positive if the antibody titer shows a four-fold increase from V-1 to V0 and is above a serotype-specific predefined threshold.

    Time frame: visit V-1 (pre immunization) ; visit V0 (day 0)

  4. Composite Outcome Measures - To identify epidemiologic, clinic and biologic predictive factors that may influence vaccine-induced immune response.

    Analysis of epidemiological, clinical and biological data collected during follow-up: age, sex, history of immunosuppressive therapy, time since previous PPV23 injection, number of previous PPV23 immunizations, AAV activity and severity according to Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score and Vasculitis Damage Index, results of biological analyses

    Time frame: visit V-1 (pre immunization) ; visit V0 (day 0)
