Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Both asthma and COPD are known to be exacerbated by viral or bacterial infections, and COPD and severe asthma are actually known risk factors for aggravation of COVID-19.Therefore, these patients would benefit greatly from COVID-19 vaccination. On the other hand, we also experience cases of developing asthma or exacerbation of asthma triggered by COVID-19 vaccination in our daily practice. This suggests that some immunological mechanism associated with COVID-19 vaccination is involved in the exacerbation of asthma and COPD.
The purpose of this research is to identify the clinical factors and phenotypes of asthma and COPD in patients who are prone to exacerbation of asthma and COPD as a result of COVID-19 vaccination.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

To elucidate the background factors and asthma/COPD phenotypes of patients who are prone to exacerbation of asthma/COPD triggered by COVID-19 vaccination.

Key secondary outcomes

1. Identify biomarkers associated with exacerbation of asthma and COPD by COVID-19 vaccination.
2. To assess whether COVID-19 vaccination is a risk factor for exacerbation of asthma/COPD.
3. To examine the feasibility of COVID-19 revaccination by examining the outcome of exacerbated cases with COVID-19 vaccination

Results

Asthma patients had significantly higher exacerbation rates after COVID-19 vaccination compared to COPD patients (14.5% vs. 0%, p < 0.001). Independent risk factors included younger age (OR = 0.972, p = 0.009), atopic predisposition (OR = 2.723, p = 0.027), and poor asthma control (ACT score < 20; OR = 5.653, p < 0.001).

Baseline Characteristics

Patients with asthma and COPD were recruited from 13 institutions participated in the REACTION study in Japan between October 2022 and October 2024. Patients were eligible for this study if they (1) were aged between 20 and 85 years old; (2) had a confirmed diagnosis of asthma or COPD; (3) had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine (either BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273); and (4) provided written informed consent to participate. Diagnoses of asthma and COPD were made based on the Japanese guidelines for adult asthma, and COPD, respectively. On the other hand, patients with other significant respiratory diseases (such as lung cancer or interstitial lung disease), those with respiratory infection within 4 weeks prior to the enrollment or those deemed ineligible by the investigators were excluded.

Participant flow

At enrollment, patient demographic and clinical data were collected from medical records, and patients underwent a workup that included blood tests, pulmonary function test (PFT), fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and answered questionnaires.
Vaccine-induced exacerbation was defined as the onset or worsening of the respiratory symptoms within one week after vaccination, as reported in a questionnaire.

Adverse events

No adverse events

Outcome measures

To identify the clinical characteristics of patients who are susceptible to COVID-19 vaccine-induced exacerbation of obstructive airway diseases.
