ABSTRACT Influenza and pneumococcal infections occurring in individuals with glomerular disease are preventable contributors to excess healthcare utilization, morbidity, and mortality, and occur at a rate approximately 30 times higher among individuals with glomerular diseases compared to the general US population. Vaccination is a powerful and cost-effective method to reduce infectious burden, however, vaccine immunogenicity and effectiveness have not been adequately studied in this high-risk patient population. Vaccination may not yield protective or sustained immune responses in individuals with glomerular disease as a result of exposure to immunosuppressive medications, altered immune cell function, and urinary loss of immunoglobulin and complement factors. As a result, there remain pressing questions regarding whether these antibodies confer in- vivo protection from influenza and pneumococcal infection. Evidence gaps that need to be addressed in preparation for pragmatic trials focused on infection-prevention measures in this population include frequency of administration of recommended vaccines, pervasiveness of infectious complications, and rates of influenza and pneumococcal vaccine seroconversion and seroprotection. Prior studies have been limited by small sample size, insufficiently characterized cohorts, and the use of assays that measure non-opsonic, and thus potentially non- functional, antibodies. The objective of this proposal is to describe the association of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination with influenza and pneumococcal infections and describe functional vaccine immunogenicity in patients with glomerular disease. Three projects have been proposed to achieve this objective: an analysis of influenza and pneumococcal vaccine use and effectiveness in a nationwide healthcare claims database (MarketScan®), a study examining vaccine immunogenicity in the multicenter NIDDK-sponsored Cure Glomerulonephropathy (CureGN) study, and creation of a multicenter cohort to examine 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine immunogenicity in children with nephrotic syndrome. The primary hypothesis is that, independent of kidney function, rates of influenza and pneumococcal infection and suboptimal vaccine response will be higher in individuals with active glomerular disease, greater immunosuppression exposure, greater proteinuria, and younger age. Dr. Glenn’s career development goals include gaining advanced training in statistical methods and epidemiologic study design, with a focus on the analysis of longitudinal datasets, healthcare claims data, and multicenter vaccine immunogenicity studies. Dr. Glenn will receive mentorship from Dr. Amy Mottl and Dr. Ronald Falk, both experts in the field of glomerular kidney disease. Additionally, Dr. Glenn will have a scientific advisory committee comprised of experts in vaccine immunogenicity, infectious disease, healthcare claims data analysis, and epidemiology. This work will inform the development of an R01 application in which Dr. Glenn leads a pragmatic trial investigating pneumococcal vaccination strategies among children with nephrotic syndrome.
