A Vaccine Booster (GEO-CM04S1) for the Prevention of COVID-19 in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Summary

This phase II trial compares the effect of the GEO-CM04S1 vaccine with the current standard of care vaccine in preventing COVID-19 infections in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The GEO-CM04S1 vaccine uses a modified vaccinia virus (MVA) backbone that may be more effective at boosting COVID-19 immunity in patients with poor immune responses. MVA strongly induces T cell expansion (infection fighting blood cells) even in the background of a suppressed immune system, which is the case in the targeted CLL patient population. Using the GEO-CM04S1 vaccine may be more effective at preventing COVID-19 infection in patients diagnosed with CLL.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a new COVID-19 vaccine booster called GEO-CM04S1 in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a blood cancer that often weakens the immune system's response to standard vaccines. The goal is to see whether this specially designed booster generates a stronger immune response in this vulnerable group. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with CLL confirmed by a specialist - You have already received at least 2 prior COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna), with the last dose at least 3 months ago - Your white blood cell count is adequate and your general health is good (ECOG 0–1) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have active, uncontrolled infections - You are currently receiving active CLL treatment that significantly suppresses immunity - You have had a severe allergic reaction to prior COVID-19 vaccines - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
