This study will enroll individuals who have:
- Completed primary series of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and
- An antibody response ≤ 2500 U/mL measured at least 30 days after the last dose of vaccine.
This group of patients is at high risk for severe COVID-19 disease due to pharmacologic immunosuppression and a high prevalence of non-transplant risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.

Kidney Transplant Recipients Liver Transplant Recipients | Biological: Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine 2023-2024 Biological: Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine 2023-2024 Drug: SOC IS Regimen Drug: SOC IS Reduction | Phase 2 |
This study is a randomized, open-label multi-site trial designed to induce an enhanced antibody response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in kidney and liver transplant recipients who have ≤ 2500 U/mL anti-spike antibody (as measured by the Roche Elecsys® anti-SARS-CoV-2 S assay) after a completed primary series (3 doses) of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
Participants will be randomized to either:
- Receive a study dose of mRNA based COVID-19 vaccine (booster) with no change in their immunosuppressive regimen, or
- Undergo a temporary, prescribed reduction in their maintenance immunosuppression (IS) regimen and receive a study dose (booster) of mRNA based COVID-19 vaccine.
Protocol Version 8.0 will include a booster dose of either Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine 2023-2024 or Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine 2023-2024, with or without IS reduction.
Duration of study participation for interested and eligible individuals: 13 months.
