Key inclusion criteria

[Dialysis Group]
Outpatients undergoing dialysis at facilities that responded to the open call for participation posted on the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT) website and who provided informed consent to participate in this study (on a first-come, first-served basis).

[Control Group]
Non-dialysis individuals who provided informed consent to participate (on a first-come, first-served basis), including patients attending hospitals or clinics affiliated with the JSDT, their family members, staff of these facilities, and staff or residents of affiliated nursing homes (with consent obtained from both the individual and their family, as applicable).

Additionally, participants in both groups must be individuals who plan to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2), have not yet received any doses at the time of consent, and are willing to complete all seven study visits over the course of one year.

Key exclusion criteria

[Control Group]
Individuals will be excluded if they have an eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2, have been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, have a history of cancer treatment within the past year, or are receiving steroids or immunosuppressive therapy.

[Dialysis Group]
Individuals will be excluded if they have a history of cancer treatment within the past year or are receiving steroids or immunosuppressive therapy.

Results

HD patients had significantly lower antibody titers than age- and sex-matched non-dialysis individuals over 3 months after primary vaccination. Dialysis time was identified as a factor affecting SARS-CoV-2 IgG titers in HD group, with longer dialysis time resulting in higher maximum SARS-CoV-2 IgG titers.
