About this study

Vaccination against the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was extended to patients at risk of severe forms of Covid-19, including in particular patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases treated by immunosuppressants and/or biologics.

In this particular population, the effectiveness of vaccines, in particular influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations, is often reduced, especially in case of treatment with rituximab and / or methotrexate.

Regarding the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, the studies that allowed the marketing authorization of the available vaccines did not include patients treated with immunosuppressants or immunomodulators.

Thus, the impact of treatments on the production of neutralizing antibodies and specific T lymphocytes is not known.

The goal of this study is to assess the immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases treated with immunosuppressants or immunomodulators.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Autoimmune Diseases and Inflammatory Disorder, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Most of the patients were already vaccinated). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of patients with neutralizing antibody (time frame: 1 month after vaccination). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04870411, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Sep 2025.
