Characterizing SARS-CoV-2-specific Immunity in Individuals Who Have Recovered From COVID-19

The purpose of this study is to learn more about infection with and recovery from the virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Some people know this virus by the name "coronavirus." It can cause the disease called COVID-19.

The information gained from the study will be used to help develop better tests for SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease and may help in developing future vaccines and treatments by allowing researchers to determine the difference between the body's immune response to natural SARS-CoV-2 infection and immunization with a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

About this study

This study aims to characterize the SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity in convalescent individuals.

The observational cohort study will include 3 groups, as described in the table below.

Participants will complete a minimum of one visit (1-8 weeks post resolution of COVID-19 OR 2-10 weeks post most recent positive SARS-CoV-2 test, if asymptomatic) and optional visits approximately 2 months, 4 months, and 1 year later. Participants diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection at an optional follow-up visit may be contacted more frequently. Additional follow up visit(s) may be added over time in response to evolving information regarding SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19.

Study visits may include physical examinations, medical history, questionnaires, pregnancy tests (for participants assigned female at birth), blood draws, optional nasal samples, and optional HIV testing.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 or older.
  • Reports having had a positive test for SARS-CoV-2.
  • Reports resolution of COVID-19 within 1-8 weeks of enrollment OR, if asymptomatic infection, reports positive SARS-CoV-2 test within 2-10 weeks of enrollment. Not excluded: individuals with symptoms consistent with residual sequelae of resolved COVID-19, in the clinical judgement of the investigator.
  • Access to a participating HVTN or HPTN CRS and willingness to be followed for the planned duration of the study.
  • Ability and willingness to provide informed consent.
  • Assessment of understanding: volunteer demonstrates understanding of this study.
  • Volunteers who were assigned female sex at birth: negative urine or serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test within 4 days of enrollment visit (ie, prior to enrollment blood draw or nasal collections). Persons who are NOT of reproductive potential due to having undergone hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy (verified by medical records) or having reached menopause (no menses for ≥ 1 year ), are not required to undergo pregnancy testing.

Exclusion criteria

  • Reports current COVID-19.
  • Pregnant.

  • SARS-CoV-2 vaccine(s) received in a prior vaccine trial.
  • Any medical, psychiatric, occupational, or other condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, would interfere with, or serve as a contraindication to, protocol adherence or a volunteer's ability to give informed consent.

Primary outcomes

  1. SARS-CoV-2-specific Antibody Binding Response Rate (BAMA IgG1) by Region and Enrollment Group Among America Cohort

    Time frame: Measured at Months 0, 2, 4

    BAMA assays was performed for samples from participants at Visit 1 (Month 0, baseline) and available samples at follow-up visits (Month 2, 4). Serum SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA, IgG1, IgG3 responses (dilution 1:50) to SARS-CoV-2 antigens were measured on a Bio-Plex instrument (Bio-Rad). The Bioplex software provides 2 readouts: a background-subtracted mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), where background refers to a plate level control (i.e., a blank well run on each plate), and a concentration based on a standard curve. Positive responses at each visit will be called if the MFI minus blank values are ≥ isotype, antigen, and dilution-specific cutoff (will be provided by the lab). MFIs minus blank (or net MFI) are used to summarize the magnitude at a given time-point.

  56. SARS-CoV-2-specific Antibody Binding Response Rate (ADCC) by Region and Comorbidity Group Among America Cohort

    Time frame: Measured at Months 0

    Antibody-dependent NK cell degranulation will be measured using ADCC assay at a dilution 1:500. Two readouts will be the background-subtracted % CD107A+ NK cells for the infected cells and the background-subtracted % CD107A+ NK cells for the transfected cells. The positive responses will be called if the values of background-subtracted % CD107A+ ≥ 4.07 and ≥5.27 for the infected and transfected cells, respectively. The cutoffs are determined by mean+2SD, respectively, from the SARS-CoV-2 negative controls. Percent CD107a+ NK Cells was the response magnitudes.

  58. SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T Cell Response Rate (ICS) by Region and Comorbidity Group Among America Cohort

    Time frame: Measured at Months 0

    Flow cytometry was used to examine SARS-CoV-2 specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses using an intracellular cytokine staining (ICS). Positive calls will be made using Fisher's exact positivity test for all the markers. The magnitudes are % T cells expressing IFN-g/IL-2.

    Time frame: Measured at Months 0

    SARS-CoV-2-specific B cell responses and B cell phenotypic data was identified and characterized using fluorescently-labelled recombinant Env proteins (S6P and RBD) in combination with a flow cytometry antibody panel on all available samples from the enrollment visit (V1). The sample will be included in the analysis only if the number of IgD- B cells is equal or greater than 1000 for that sample.

Secondary outcomes

  1. SARS-CoV-2-specific Antibody Binding Response Magnitude (IgA Nasal Sample) by Region and Enrollment Group Among America Cohort

    Time frame: Measured at Months 0, 2, 5

    BAMA assays was performed for samples from participants at Visit 1 (Month 0, baseline) and available samples at follow-up visits (Month 2, 4). Serum SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA, IgG1, IgG3 responses (dilution 1:50) to SARS-CoV-2 antigens were measured on a Bio-Plex instrument (Bio-Rad). The Bioplex software provides 2 readouts: a background-subtracted mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), where background refers to a plate level control (i.e., a blank well run on each plate), and a concentration based on a standard curve. Positive responses at each visit will be called if the MFI minus blank values are ≥ isotype, antigen, and dilution-specific cutoff (will be provided by the lab). MFIs minus blank (or net MFI) are used to summarize the magnitude at a given time-point.

  2. Detection of Viral RNA in Nasopharyngeal or Nasal Swab Samples Via RT-PCR

    Time frame: Measured at Months 0, Month 2, Month 4, Month 12

    This outcome measures the detection rate of viral RNA in nasopharyngeal or nasal swab samples collected at Visits 1, 2, 3, 4 using RT-PCR. Participation was optional, and not all participants provided samples. Results presented in this table include only participants from the Africa cohort (South Africa and other African countries), whose samples were tested using the RT-RNA Fisher TaqPath assay and Americas cohort (Peru and the United States), samples were tested using the RT-RNA Panther assay.
