Summary

This trial is testing whether a booster dose of a different COVID-19 vaccine will help people who have already received two doses of a different mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine and have an antibody concentration that is below 2500 U/mL.

Who is the study for?
Adult kidney transplant recipients who've had a full primary series and booster of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines but still have low antibody levels. They must be on stable immunosuppressants, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and agree to contraception if necessary. Excluded are those with severe illnesses, other organ transplants, certain infections like HIV, recent receipt of monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, and unstable medical conditions.
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether a Sanofi-GSK monovalent COVID-19 vaccine can boost the immune response in kidney transplant patients who didn't maintain high enough antibody levels after receiving mRNA vaccines. It's an open-label trial where all participants receive the vaccine without being compared to a control group.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for this vaccine aren't listed here, common reactions to similar vaccines include soreness at injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever and nausea. Severe allergic reactions are rare but possible.

This single-arm trial will administer a single dose of the Sanofi-GSK monovalent (B.1.351) CoV2 preS dTM-AS03 COVID-19 vaccine to kidney transplant recipients who demonstrate a persistently low (=\< 2500 u/mL) anti-spike antibody response after completion of primary series and bivalent booster of either the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine or the Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccine, as described in their respective Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs)
