Plain-language summary

Covid-19 has a very bad prognosis in solid organ transplant recipients with a 60 days-mortality exceeding 20%. For this reason, transplant patients were prioritized to receive Covid-19 vaccination since December 2020 in France. Unfortunately, the vaccine response of these patients is insufficient after a standard vaccine regimen including 2 doses of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) vaccine with a 50% seroconversion rate in many cohorts. As a result, on the advice of the "Conseil National d'Orientation Vaccinale", the French Health Authorities has authorized physicians to offer a 3rd dose of vaccine to organ transplant patients since April 11, 2021. The subsequent studies showed that half of the patients who did not seroconvert after the 2nd dose did develop a vaccine response after the third dose. For patients who do not respond after the 3rd dose, the clinicians are now allowed to offer a 4th dose of vaccine. Unfortunately, approximately 25% of patients still remain non-responders to this 3- or 4-doses vaccine regimen. In addition, transplant recipients who do not developed a vaccine response after the 3rd dose are very unlikely to respond after the 4th dose. For patients who do not respond to the vaccination, the French Health Authorities had authorized the infusion of SARS Cov2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) monoclonal antibodies as a pre-exposition prophylaxis in immunocompromised patients. The value of using the TIXAGEVIMAB/CILGAVIMAB monoclonal antibody cocktail as primary prophylaxis has been demonstrated in the general population but this study did not include immunocompromised patients. Here, the investigators propose to study the pharmacokinetics of TIXAGEVIMAB/CILGAVIMAB given in a pre-exposition prophylaxis scheme in non-responder solid organ transplanted patients after an adapted vaccinal scheme (i.e. 3 doses or more of mRNA vaccines).

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
