We performed a prospective observational cohort study in JIA and IBD patients (14-18 years old), who received a MenACWY vaccination during a nationwide catch-up campaign (2018-2019) in the Netherlands. Primary aim was to compare MenACWY polysaccharide-specific serum IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) in patients with HCs and secondary between patients with or without anti-TNF therapy. GMCs were determined before and 3-6, 12, and 24 months postvaccination and compared with data from HCs at baseline and 12 months postvaccination. Serum bactericidal antibody (SBA) titers were determined in a subset of patients at 12 months postvaccination.
We included 226 JIA and IBD patients (66 % and 34 % respectively). GMCs were lower for MenA and MenW (GMC ratio 0·24 [0·17-0·34] and 0·16 [0·10-0·26] respectively, p < 0·01) in patients compared to HCs at 12 months postvaccination. Anti-TNF users had lower MenACWY GMCs postvaccination compared with those without anti-TNF (p < 0·01). The proportion protected (SBA ≥ 8) for MenW was reduced in anti-TNF users (76 % versus 92 % in non-anti-TNF and 100 % in HCs, p < 0.01).
The MenACWY conjugate vaccine was immunogenic in the vast majority of JIA and IBD patients at adolescent age, but seroprotection was lower in patients using anti-TNF agents. Therefore, an extra booster MenACWY vaccination should be considered.
方法:我们在JIA和IBD患者(14-18岁)中进行了一项前瞻性观察性队列研究,在荷兰的全国追赶运动(2018-2019)期间接受了MenACWY疫苗接种。主要目的是比较HC患者和有或没有抗TNF治疗的患者之间的MenACWY多糖特异性血清IgG几何平均浓度(GMC)。在接种前和接种后3-6、12和24个月测定GMC,并与基线和接种后12个月的HC数据进行比较。在接种疫苗后12个月时,在一部分患者中确定了血清杀菌抗体(SBA)滴度。
结果:我们纳入了226名JIA和IBD患者(分别为66%和34%)。MenA和MenW的GMC较低(GMC比分别为0·24[0·17-0·34]和0·16[0·10-0·26],p<0·01)与接种疫苗后12个月的患者相比。与没有使用抗TNF的人相比,抗TNF使用者在接种后的MenACWYGMC较低(p<0.01)。抗TNF使用者中MenW受保护的比例(SBA≥8)降低(76%,非抗TNF为92%,HCs为100%,p<0.01)。
结论:MenACWY结合疫苗对绝大多数青少年JIA和IBD患者具有免疫原性,但使用抗TNF药物的患者血清保护作用较低。因此,应考虑额外加强MenACWY疫苗接种。
