Immunological Follow-up After SARS CoV2 Vaccination in Kidney Transplant Recipients (COVATRHUS)

August 18, 2025 updated by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Immunological Follow-up After COVID 19 Vaccination in Kidney Transplant Recipients

The investigators goal is to assess the vaccine response of kidney transplant patients following vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.

The study population will be derived from cohorts of kidney transplant patients who have been transplanted for more than 3 months and have no contraindications to vaccination. These patients will be vaccinated as part of routine care with a CoV-2 SARS vaccine licensed in France.

In this cohort, the investigators wish to study the post-vaccination humoral response by assaying neutralizing antibodies against SARS CoV-2 and the specific cellular response of SARS Cov-2 by quantiferon and in vitro lymphocyte stimulation assays.
