Abstract This study demonstrated good short-term safety profile after a third dose of BNT162b2 vaccine among HCWs. There were more frequent local reactions and less systemic reactions compared to the second dose. HCW's who reported reactions had higher pre-booster titer of anti-S1 antibodies compared to those reported no reactions.

Aim. We perform an exploratory study of how Social Media Listening using simple keywords can be useful in pharmacosurveillance of Adverse Events (AE) of COVID-19 vaccines.Concept. 43375 Tweets about vaccines during the fi rst weeks of Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine roll-outs in Poland were collected. We analyse the frequency of occurrence of selected common symptoms by infodemiological (related to self-reporting posts) and compare them with the epidemiological (product summary and post-registration) surveillance in Poland.Results. The AE keywords posting in Social Media is mainly driven by media interest rather than real burden of AE. The best accordance between infodemiological and epidemiological surveillance was found for systemic reactions, however local and gastric reactions seems to be underrepresented in social media. Conclusion. Infodemiology can be useful in early warning pharmacosurveillance of some AE during massive drug delivery as immunisation. Some keywords of symptoms such as fever or pain seem to be the most promising and due to low cost of monitoring should be incorporated in real-time dashboards for decision makers.

Abstract Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccination is recommended for all individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including those on immunosuppressive therapies; however, little is known about vaccine safety and efficacy in these patients or the impact of vaccination on IBD disease course. Methods We evaluated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine–related adverse events (AEs) and the effect of vaccination on IBD disease course among participants in the PREVENT-COVID (Partnership to Report Effectiveness of Vaccination in populations Excluded from iNitial Trials of COVID) study, a prospective, observational cohort study. Localized and systemic reactions were assessed via questionnaire. Disease flare was defined by worsening IBD symptoms and change in IBD medications. Outcomes were stratified by vaccine type and IBD medication classes. Results A total of 3316 individuals with IBD received at least 1 COVID-19 vaccine. Injection site tenderness (68%) and fatigue (46% dose 1, 68% dose 2) were the most commonly reported localized and systemic AEs after vaccination. Severe localized and systemic vaccine-related AEs were rare. The mRNA-1273 vaccine was associated with significantly greater severe AEs at dose 2 (localized 4% vs 2%, systemic 15% vs 10%; P < .001 for both). Prior COVID-19 infection, female sex, and vaccine type were associated with severe systemic reactions to dose 1, while age <50 years, female sex, vaccine type, and antitumor necrosis factor and vedolizumab use were associated with severe systemic reactions to dose 2. Overall rates (2%) of IBD flare were low following vaccination. Conclusions Our findings provide reassurance that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccine is safe and well tolerated among individuals with IBD, which may help to combat vaccine hesitancy and increase vaccine confidence.

To protect against COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been widely used. Besides anaphylaxis, some less severe adverse effects may occur at higher frequencies. It remains unclear whether present or past histories of allergic diseases exert effects on local and systemic reactions. We conducted a questionnaire survey among workers in our hospital. We analyzed the adverse effects occurring after the first and second doses of the Pfizer–BioNTech vaccine in 955 subjects. The presence or absence of local injection reactions and systemic reactions (headache, fatigability, fever, muscle pain, and joint pain) was questioned. The intensities of these reactions were graded on a scale of 0–4 (except fever) or 0–2 (fever). The allergic diseases that we focused on were bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, food allergy, pollinosis, and hand eczema. For the systemic reactions, fatigability after the first dose tended to be more severe in the bronchial asthma than in the non-allergic group. Headache, joint pain, and fever tended to be more severe in the food allergy than in the non-allergic group after the second dose. For the local skin reactions, atopic dermatitis subjects tended to show rather less severe local skin reactions after the second dose. The results contribute to the guidelines for the care of individuals with different allergy histories, so that they may safely receive their vaccine.

Abstract Background: Subcutaneous daratumumab (dara-SC) has several advantages over intravenous daratumumab (dara-IV). It has significantly shorter administration time, lower rates of systemic reactions, and smaller administration volume, while maintaining comparable efficacy and safety. Its fixed dosing allows for easier preparation. At our institution, standard approach is to monitor for 4h following the initial dara-SC dose for those at high risk for systemic reactions, defined as no prior dara use, treatment break ≥90d, or any prior history of reactions. We also administer montelukast and fexofenadine for the first 2 doses of dara-SC in addition to the usual standard pre-medications. Herein, we share our experience with dara-SC use in both dara-naïve and dara-exposed patients in order to gain practical insight, such as optimal monitoring duration, considerations for transitioning between dara-IV and dara-SC, and the place of therapy for dara-IV based on adverse events (AEs). Methods: Between June 2020 and June 2021, patients who received at least one dose of dara-SC were identified and their record was reviewed for any systemic reactions, hypersensitivity medication use, and patient reported AEs. Results: Since June 2020, our dara-SC drug use increased from 38% to 91% of all doses. There were 208 patients who received at least 1 dose of dara-SC. Of 208 patients, 99 (47.6%) were dara-naïve and 109 (52.4%) had prior dara exposure - either transitioning from dara-IV on schedule or had dara-IV as a past line of therapy. We identified 124 patients who met the criteria for 4h post dara-SC injection monitoring: dara-naïve (79.8%), treatment break ≥90d (18.5%), or prior history of reactions (1.6%). Only 5 experienced systemic reactions, representing 4% among those at high risk. All reactions were mild requiring minimal intervention and occurred following the first dara-SC dose. Onset of reactions and type of intervention during the 4h monitoring window were: hypotension (2h; fluid), nausea/vomiting (2.5h; hypersensitivity medications), and sinus tachycardia (4h), while 2 patients had transient chest pressure/tightness at home (1 within 24h, 1 between 1-6d following the dose). Eleven patients (5%) receiving dara-SC converted back to dara-IV, with AEs being the most common reason. Diarrhea, fatigue, and injection site reactions were among the most frequent patient-reported AEs. When transitioning back to dara-IV, a 90min rapid infusion rate was used if >4 prior dara doses were given. No infusion-related reactions were observed. Conclusion: The introduction of dara-SC has significantly improved patient experience. We observed a lower rate of systemic reactions compared to previous reports of 10% with first dose of dara-SC. This may be partly due to our strengthened pre-medication strategy. Opportunities exist to further improve and apply practical considerations when administering dara-SC. Based on our results, shortening on-site monitoring time may be feasible.

Abstract Background: In January 2021, the Dutch vaccination programme against SARS-CoV-2 was started. Clinical studies have shown that systemic reactions occur in up to 50% of vaccine recipients. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccination could affect anticoagulation control, potentially leading to an increased risk of thrombotic events and bleeding complications. Aims: To investigate whether the BNT162b2 vaccine affects anticoagulation control in outpatients using Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). Methods: A case-crossover study was performed in a cohort of outpatient VKA users from four Dutch anticoagulation clinics who received a BNT162b2 vaccine. INR results and VKA dosages before the first vaccination, the reference period, were compared with those after the first and second vaccination. Results: A total of 3148 outpatient VKA users were included, with a mean age (standard deviation (SD)) of 86.7 (8.7) years, of whom 43.8% were male, 67.0% used acenocoumarol and 33.0% phenprocoumon. We observed a decrease of 8.9% of INRs within range in the standard intensity group (target INR 2.0-3.0). There was both an increased risk of supratherapeutic [OR=1.34 (95% CI 1.08-1.67)] and subtherapeutic levels [OR=1.40 (95% CI 1.08-1.83)] after first vaccination. In the high-intensity group (target INR 2.5-3.5), the risk of a supratherapeutic INR was 2.3 times higher after first vaccination [OR=2.29 (95% CI 1.22-4.28)] and 3.3 times higher after second vaccination [OR 3.25 (95% CI 1.06-9.97). Conclusion: BNT162b2 was associated with an immediate negative effect on anticoagulation control in patients treated with vitamin K antagonists, so it is advisable to monitor the INR short after vaccination, even in stable patients.

Abstract ELANE-related severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a disorder wherein numerous heterozygous mutations in the ELANE gene lead to misfolding and mislocalization of mutant neutrophil elastase, resulting in the death of myeloid cells and block in neutrophil differentiation. Currently, SCN is treated with daily injections of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), but patients on this therapy are at risk of developing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The only other effective therapy is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that may involve graft versus host disease and risk of serious infections. Thus, there is great interest in safe and efficient therapeutic alternatives. Emendo Biotherapeutics has developed a novel CRISPR-based (OMNI A1) ex-vivo gene editing strategy that involves specific excision of disease-causing ELANE mutant allele. This treatment was tested on CD34 + HSCs from SCN patients and resulted in a significant improvement in the maturation of myeloid cells and their differentiation to normal functional neutrophils. To assess the feasibility and safety of this editing strategy, we conducted an in vivo study using human HSCs derived from two healthy donors that were engrafted into a NOD scid gamma (NSG) immunocompromised mice model. The study involved a single iv injection of HSCs that were either not-treated (NT), electroporated without delivery of CRISPR nuclease (mock) or edited with Emendo's novel nuclease, OMNI A1,(excision). Each group consisted of 6 NSG female mice and an additional group of 4 mice served as vehicle control (no HSCs). All animals were subjected to total body irradiation, 1 day prior to the treatment, at a dose of 250 cGy. Animals were subjected to retro-orbital blood collection, at 4 designated time points during the study (Figure A), for CD45 + cell counts using FACS. All animals were evaluated for systemic reactions, clinical signs and body weight changes during the study period. At the end of the study period, animals were subjected to peripheral blood (PB), bone marrow (BM) and spleen sampling. FACS analysis of CD45 + cells was performed on those samples to determine the engraftment efficiency. Furthermore, excision levels for ELANE were measured in the engrafted cells by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). Finally, multilineage differentiation capacity of the engrafted cells was evaluated by FACS. Analysis of human CD45 + cells, at 20 weeks, showed comparable levels of engraftment of the not-treated, mock treated and excised HSCs in the mouse PB, BM and spleen (No statistically significant difference, Kruskal Wallis test) (Figure B). Excised cells were detected in the mouse BM and excision levels in some of the mice were comparable to those measured in the HSCs prior to engraftment (about 30-36%). Human-derived cells from the BM and spleen of mice engrafted with excised HSCs showed similar multilineage differentiation capacity as obtained in mice engrafted with either NT or mock-treated HSCs. Engrafted human CD45 + cells differentiated into neutrophils (CD66b +), myeloid cells (CD33 +), Lymphocytes: B-cells (CD19 +) and T-cells (CD3 +). In addition, a population of engrafted hematopoietic CD34 + cells was detected in the BM. Excised HSCs of both donors gave rise to all lineages tested, as efficient as the NT and the mock groups. Finally, engrafted mice showed no systemic reactions, abnormal clinical signs or loss of body weight. These data show that edited cells can be engrafted successfully, maintain their excision profile and populate the bone marrow. This study also supports the safety of the OMNI A1 therapeutic composition. Figure 1 Figure 1. Disclosures Povodovski: Emendo Biotherapeutic: Current Employment.
