BACKGROUND: Influenza vaccine effectiveness is not optimal in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR). We hypothesized that a booster dose might increase it.

METHODS: TRANSGRIPE 1-2 is a phase 3, randomized, controlled, multicenter, open-label clinical trial. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1 stratified by study site, type of organ, and time since transplantation) to receive 1 dose (control group) or 2 doses (booster group) of the influenza vaccine 5 weeks apart.

RESULTS: A total of 499 SOTR were enrolled. Although seroconversion at 10 weeks did not meet significance in the modified intention-to-treat population, seroconversion rates were significantly higher in the booster arm for the per-protocol population (53.8% vs 37.6% for influenza A(H1N1)pdm; 48.1% vs 32.3% for influenza A(H3N2); and 90.7% vs 75% for influenza B; P < .05). Furthermore, seroprotection at 10 weeks was higher in the booster group: 54% vs 43.2% for A(H1N1)pdm; 56.9% vs 45.5% for A(H3N2); and 83.4% vs 71.8% for influenza B (P < .05). The number needed to treat to seroprotect 1 patient was <10. The clinical efficacy (99.2% vs 98.8%) and serious adverse events (6.4% vs 7.5%) were similar for both groups.

CONCLUSIONS: In SOTR, a booster strategy 5 weeks after standard influenza vaccination is safe and effective and induces an increased antibody response compared with standard influenza vaccination consisting of a single dose.
