Here we report SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced immune responses and breakthrough infections in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, who are treated either with the anti-TNF antibody, infliximab, or with vedolizumab targeting a gut-specific anti-integrin that does not impair systemic immunity. Geometric mean [SD] anti-S RBD antibody concentrations are lower and half-lives shorter in patients treated with infliximab than vedolizumab, following two doses of BNT162b2 (566.7 U\/mL [6.2] vs 4555.3 U\/mL [5.4], p &lt;0.0001; 26.8 days [95% CI 26.2 \u2013 27.5] vs 47.6 days [45.5 \u2013 49.8], p &lt;0.0001); similar results are also observed with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination (184.7 U\/mL [5.0] vs 784.0 U\/mL [3.5], p &lt;0.0001; 35.9 days [34.9 \u2013 36.8] vs 58.0 days [55.0 \u2013 61.3], p value &lt; 0.0001). One fifth of patients fail to mount a T cell response in both treatment groups. Breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections are more frequent (5.8% (201\/3441) vs 3.9% (66\/1682), p = 0.0039) in patients treated with infliximab than vedolizumab, and the risk of breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection is predicted by peak anti-S RBD antibody concentration after two vaccine doses. Irrespective of the treatments, higher, more sustained antibody levels are observed in patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection prior to vaccination. Our results thus suggest that adapted vaccination schedules may be required to induce immunity in at-risk, anti-TNF-treated patients.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-022-28517-z.pdf\">Link to full-text<\/a> [open access, no password required]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Altmetrics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"altmetric-embed\" data-badge-details=\"right\" data-badge-type=\"medium-donut\" data-pmid=\"35296643\" data-hide-no-mentions=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/d1bxh8uas1mnw7.cloudfront.net\/assets\/embed.js'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type of publication:Journal article Author(s):Lin S.; Kennedy N.A.; Saifuddin A.; Sandoval D.M.; Reynolds C.J.; Seoane R.C.; Kottoor S.H.; Pieper F.P.; Lin K.-M.; Butler D.K.; Chanchlani N.; Nice R.; Chee D.; Bewshea C.; Janjua M.; McDonald T.J.; Sebastian S.; Alexander J.L.;<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/2022\/10\/27\/antibody-decay-t-cell-immunity-and-breakthrough-infections-following-two-sars-cov-2-vaccine-doses-in-inflammatory-bowel-disease-patients-treated-with-infliximab-and-vedolizumab-2022\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Antibody decay, T cell immunity and breakthrough infections following two SARS-CoV-2 vaccine doses in inflammatory bowel disease patients treated with infliximab and vedolizumab (2022)<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\"> &#8250;<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1001,200],"tags":[1017,946,221,1002,981],"class_list":["post-7100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-open-access","category-staff-publication","tag-1017","tag-covid-19","tag-gastroenterology","tag-gold-open-access","tag-inflammatory-bowel-disease"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7100"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7100\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9445,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7100\/revisions\/9445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
