Although severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and hospitalization associated with COVID-19 are generally preventable among healthy vaccine recipients, patients with immunosuppression have poor immunogenic responses to COVID-19 vaccines and remain at high risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 and hospitalization. In addition, monoclonal antibody therapy is limited by the emergence of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants that have serially escaped neutralization. In this context, there is interest in understanding the clinical benefit associated with COVID-19 convalescent plasma collected from persons who have been both naturally infected with SARS-CoV-2 and vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 ("vax-plasma"). Thus, we report the clinical outcome of 386 immunocompromised outpatients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and who received contemporary COVID-19-specific therapeutics (standard-of-care group) and a subgroup who also received concomitant treatment with very high titer COVID-19 convalescent plasma (vax-plasma group) with a specific focus on hospitalization rates. The overall hospitalization rate was 2.2% (5 of 225 patients) in the vax-plasma group and 6.2% (10 of 161 patients) in the standard-of-care group, which corresponded to a relative risk reduction of 65% ( = 0.046). Evidence of efficacy in nonvaccinated patients cannot be inferred from these data because 94% (361 of 386 patients) of patients were vaccinated. In vaccinated patients with immunosuppression and COVID-19, the addition of vax-plasma or very high titer COVID-19 convalescent plasma to COVID-19-specific therapies reduced the risk of disease progression leading to hospitalization.IMPORTANCEAs SARS-CoV-2 evolves, new variants of concern (VOCs) have emerged that evade available anti-spike monoclonal antibodies, particularly among immunosuppressed patients. However, high-titer COVID-19 convalescent plasma continues to be effective against VOCs because of its broad-spectrum immunomodulatory properties. Thus, we report clinical outcomes of 386 immunocompromised outpatients who were treated with COVID-19-specific therapeutics and a subgroup also treated with vaccine-boosted convalescent plasma. We found that the administration of vaccine-boosted convalescent plasma was associated with a significantly decreased incidence of hospitalization among immunocompromised COVID-19 outpatients. Our data add to the contemporary data providing evidence to support the clinical utility of high-titer convalescent plasma as antibody replacement therapy in immunocompromised patients.
尽管严重的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)和与 COVID-19 相关的住院治疗在健康的疫苗接种者中通常是可以预防的,但免疫抑制患者对 COVID-19 疫苗的免疫原性反应较差,仍然面临感染 SARS-CoV-2 和住院的高风险。此外,单克隆抗体治疗受到新型 SARS-CoV-2 变体的限制,这些变体已连续逃避中和。在这种情况下,人们有兴趣了解从既感染过 SARS-CoV-2 又接种过 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗的人群中采集的 COVID-19 恢复期血浆(“vax-血浆”)与 COVID-19 相关的临床获益。因此,我们报告了 386 例免疫功能低下的门诊患者的临床结果,这些患者被诊断出患有 COVID-19,并接受了当代 COVID-19 特异性治疗(标准护理组),以及一个亚组患者还同时接受了高滴度 COVID-19 恢复期血浆(vax-血浆组)的治疗,重点关注住院率。在 vax-血浆组中,总体住院率为 2.2%(225 例患者中有 5 例),在标准护理组中为 6.2%(161 例患者中有 10 例),这对应于 65%的相对风险降低(=0.046)。由于 94%(386 例患者中的 361 例)的患者接种了疫苗,因此不能从这些数据中推断出对未接种疫苗患者的疗效证据。在免疫抑制和 COVID-19 患者中,在 COVID-19 特异性治疗中添加 vax-血浆或高滴度 COVID-19 恢复期血浆可降低导致住院的疾病进展风险。
重要性
随着 SARS-CoV-2 的演变,新的关注变种(VOCs)已经出现,这些变种逃避了现有的抗刺突单克隆抗体,尤其是在免疫抑制患者中。然而,高滴度 COVID-19 恢复期血浆由于其广谱免疫调节特性,仍然对 VOCs 有效。因此,我们报告了 386 例免疫功能低下的门诊患者的临床结果,这些患者接受了 COVID-19 特异性治疗,一个亚组患者还接受了疫苗增强型恢复期血浆治疗。我们发现,免疫功能低下的 COVID-19 门诊患者接受疫苗增强型恢复期血浆治疗后,住院发生率显著降低。我们的数据增加了当代数据,为高滴度恢复期血浆作为免疫抑制患者的抗体替代疗法的临床效用提供了证据支持。
