Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is the antibody based immune response on day 28 after the second vaccination. We will compare SARS-CoV-2 spike (S)- protein specific serum IgG antibody levels (in IU/mL) between patients and controls. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Safety (adverse events) reported at day 7 after each vaccination - Corona-related symptoms, COVID-19 infection and -if applicable- SARS-CoV-2 test results during 12 months after vaccination (baseline, day 28, 3, 6, 12 months). - Disease activity (pSS patients only) during 12 months after vaccination (baseline, day 28, 3, 6, 12 months). - Concentrations of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgG en IgA) in saliva at day 28 after the second vaccination (subgroup analysis) - Cellular immune response 7 days after the second vaccination (subgroup analysis) | — |
