Anti-Covid-19 Vaccine in Children With Acute Leukemia and Their Siblings

Anti-Covid-19 Vaccine Protection in Immunocompromised Children (1 to 15 Years Old) With Acute Leukemia and Their Siblings (≥12 Years Old). Phase I-II Trial Evaluating Post-vaccine Safety and Humoral and Cellular Immunogenicity.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Jun 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Mortality in case of SARS-CoV-2 infection (Covid-19) during acute leukemia (AL) treatment is around 30%, i.e. more than 10 times the one of general population. Severe forms are reported in children receiving chemotherapy for AL. However, the main risk, largely underestimated, is related to delay in chemotherapy administration in case of infection, leading to an increased risk of relapse. Therefore, it is justified to propose an anti-Covid-19 vaccination to these patients. Vaccination of siblings also seems necessary given the uncertainty regarding vaccine response in children with AL and given that household is the main source of contamination. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine COMIRNATY® (BNT162b2) is already approved by health authorities for individuals older than 12. In immunocompromised children with AL, safety and efficacy data are unknown. The benefit/risk balance encourages to use the vaccine without health authority approval in children aged 1 to 15 with AL. Regarding household, parents are vaccinated for several months as standard of care, but vaccination will be proposed to siblings aged 5 to 15 years old in this protocol. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of COMIRNATY® (BNT162b2) vaccine (two injections 21-28 days apart) in children with acute leukemia (1 to 15 years old) and their siblings (5 to 15 years old). A secondary objective of the study is to compare the quality of humoral and cellular vaccine responses in children with AL and healthy children.

  • Vaccination against influenza virus within 14 days before first injection
  • Participant ill or febrile (body temperature ≥38°C) in the previous 72 hours with symptoms suggesting the presence of COVID-19.
  • Treatment received for Covid-19 infection (60 days prior to 1st injection).
  • Participation in other research without investigator's consent research within 4 weeks prior to the inclusion visit and for the duration of the trial
    • Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Other illness

  • Documented SARS-CoV-2 infection ongoing or that occurred less than 2 months ago
  • Known clinical allergy to polyethylene glycol (PEG)
  • History of severe adverse event after a vaccine administration including anaphylaxis and associated symptoms such as rash, respiratory issues, angioedema and abdominal pain, or history of allergic reaction that could be exacerbated by a vaccine component
  • Participant vaccinated against tuberculosis within the past year
  • Allergy to any component of the vaccine or history of severe allergy (anaphylactic type)

  • Participation in a vaccination trial

Who the study is looking for

    • With acute lymphoblastic leukemia undergoing chemotherapy (at least 2 weeks from the last injection of PEG-asparaginase) or for whom the last chemotherapy is less than or equal to 12 months
    • OR With acute myeloid leukemia within 12 months from the end of treatment
  • Healthy siblings aged 5 to 15 years old living in the same household than the child with AL more than 50% of the time
  • Informed consent from parents
  • Patient affiliated to health insurance
  • For women of childbearing age :
    • A negative blood test at the inclusion visit
    • AND use of an effective contraceptive method at least at least 4 weeks prior to vaccination and until at least 12 weeks after the last vaccination
