Longitudinal Study of Humoral and Cellular Responses to COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines With and Without 3rd (‘Booster’) Dose in MS Patients on Ocrelizumab▼: 24-week Results From VIOLA (NCT04843774)

Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) receiving ocrelizumab▼ (OCR) have attenuated antibody but largely intact T-cell responses to the COVID-19 vaccination; however, little is known about the durability of post-vaccine responses in this population. The objective of this study was to examine longitudinal antibody and cellular responses to two-dose mRNA-platform COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) in OCR▼-treated patients with MS over a 24-week period and to assess the effect of a ‘booster’ (third dose) on antibody and T-cell responses.
