About this study

Official title: Comparison of Humoral Response to Conjugate Pneumococcal Vaccine and Polysaccharide Pneumococcal Vaccine in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Patients Treated With Abatacept

Is pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (which induces a T-dependent humoral response) more efficient than pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (which induces a T-independent humoral response) in RA patients treated with abatacept, biotherapy targeting T-cells? The investigator propose to conduct a prospective, multicenter (11 centers), randomized, open-label study.

The patients are going to be randomized in 2 groups: patients of the first group will be vaccinated with the polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (Pneumo23®/Pneumovax®) whereas patients of the second group will be vaccinated with conjugate pneumococcal vaccine (Prevenar13®).

Read the detailed description

The study population will be all the RA patients between 18 and 85 years with instauration of a treatment by sub-cutaneous abatacept in association with methotrexate who agreed to participate to the study.

At the time of their inclusion, patients will be randomized for receiving either pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV) or pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV).

The primary endpoint will be evaluated at one month after vaccination. The total of follow-up will be of 12 months.

For the patients of the group PCV, the prime-boost strategy will be applied in order to be in accordance with the current French recommendation and a revaccination at 2 months after the initial vaccine will be realized with PPSV.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccineBiological

    Also called Pneumo23/Pneumovax

    Vaccination with PPSV on first day. NB : PPSV vaccine Pneumo23 has been replaced in September 2017 by the equivalent vaccine Pneumovax because of the stop of commercialization of Pneumo23 in France by the pharmaceutical company.

  • pneumococcal conjugate vaccineBiological

    Also called Prevenar13

    Patients are vaccinated with Prevenar13 on the first day, and with Pneumo23/Pneumovax two months later.

  • AbataceptDrug

    Also called Orencia

    Abatacept started on frst day

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Humoral response comparison after vaccination (number of patient with at least a two-fold increase of the antibody titer for at least 3 of the 5 serotypes of interest : 1,3 14, 7F, 19A)

    To compare the rate of responders, at one month after vaccination, between patients vaccinated with PCV and patient vaccinated with PPSV.

    Measured: 1 month after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Side Effect frequency (number of side effect at each patient's visit for both groups)

    Comparison of the frequency of side effects between the 2 groups at 1, 2, 6 and 12 months

    Measured: 1, 2,6 ans 12 months after inclusion

  2. Prime boost strategy efficacity evaluation (number of responder in the PCV group)

    Calculation of the rate of responders, in the PCV group, at 4 month after re-vaccination by a dose of PPSV

    Measured: 6 months after inclusion

  3. Long term immune response after vaccination

    Comparison between the 2 groups of the rate of responders at 6 and 12 months after vaccination

    Measured: 6 and 12 months after vaccination

  4. Comparison between the 2 groups of the opsonophagocytosis activity of the antibodies produced

    Comparison between the 2 groups of the opsonophagocytic titers (OPA) at 1, 2, 6 and 12 months after vaccination

    Measured: 1, 2, 6 and 12 months after vaccination

  5. Pneumococcal vaccination predictive factor identification

    Analysis of the collected date to search for predictive factors of immune response after pneumococcal vaccination by comparison of the rates of responders within each group, according to age, gender, RA activity, MTX dosage, corticosteroid, dosage, therapeutical history

    Measured: 12 month after last patient inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and Abatacept in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 11 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 22 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in France, Monaco. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Humoral response comparison after vaccination (number of patient with at least a two-fold increase of the antibody titer for at least 3 of the 5 serotypes of interest : 1,3 14, 7F, 19A) (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?
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 3 Jan 2022.
