Abstrakt: Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the immune response after a third dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with undetectable antibodies titers after the primary regimen of two doses.Methods: Patients with RA with no seroconversion after two doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, who received a third dose of either mRNA or vector-based vaccines were included. Anti-SARSCoV- 2 IgG antibodies, neutralizing activity and T cell responses were assessed after the third dose.Results: A total of 21 non-responder patients were included. At vaccination time, 28.6% were receiving glucocorticoids, 85.1% b-DMARDs (including 6 abatacept (ABT) and 4 rituximab (RTX)). The majority (95.2%) received BNT162b2 vaccine and only one of them ChAdOx1 nCoV-19. After the third dose, 90.5% of the patients presented detectable anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and 76.2% neutralizing activity. Compared to other treatments, ABT and RTX was associated with the absence of neutralizing activity in 4/5 (80%) patients and lower titers of neutralizing antibodies [median 1/3 (IQR 0-1/20) vs 1/8 (IQR 1/4-1/128), p=0.197]. Specific T-cell response was detected in 41.2% of all patients after the second dose, increasing to 71.4% after the third dose. The use of ABT was associated with a lower frequency of T-cell response (33.3% vs 86.7%, p=0.031).Conclusion: In this RA cohort who failed to seroconvert after two doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, 90.5% presented detectable anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG after a third dose. The use of ABT was associated with a lower frequency of specific T-cell response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
