MELODY Study

Assessing antibody responses to COVID-19 vaccines in immunocompromised people. MRC funded with KRUK, BCUK, VUK & the CF Trust.

[MELODY Study @MELODYStudyUK]

By investigating 36,000 immunosuppressed people (transplant recipients, people with blood malignancies and rare autoimmune disease on immunosuppression), we aim to assess:
1. What proportion will have detectable SARS-CoV2 Ab after 3 vaccine doses (and now 4) (1/5)

[Clinical Trials Unit @NHSBT_CTU]

Helen's poster at #ICTMC2024 is looking at antibody prevalence and clinical outcomes after 3 or more COVID-19 vaccine doses in immunosuppressed populations: @MELODYStudyUK 🌟

[STRAVINSKY @STRAVINSKYstudy]

250+ people attended our webinar last month to hear about our findings so far, and nearly 200 more watched the recording!

We're thrilled so many are eager to know what we've found so far and what happens next.

Keep an eye out for future news 👉 https://t.co/H3V8lHH0jf

It's great when a conference brings people together. Here's our executive director of research @aislingcmcmahon with @drkevinfernando talking all things kidney disease related. We're already looking forward to working together on future projects. #RCGPAC23

What if haemodialysis was portable, contained inside something no bigger than a backpack?

Researchers @EdinburghUni are making big steps towards a wearable kidney.

[Imperial Patient Experience Research Centre (PERC) @Imperial_PERC]

Great example of feeding back #researchresults to #participants and discussing their implications today. This should be standard for all #research @MELODYStudyuk @nihrinvolvement @imperial_medicine

[MELODY Study @MELODYStudyUK]

@Imperial_PERC @NIHRinvolvement Just at the beginning! Lots more to talk about, inc wider dissemination of final results and legacy work. So much valuable data which could translate to clinical impact. Thanks to all who joined today

What’s the antibody response to Covid vaccines in transplant patients? As @NHSBT #OrganDonationWeek ends, we focus on MELODY, Mass Evaluation of Lateral flow immunOassays for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodY responses in immunosuppressed people.

Transplants save lives. There are around 5,500 people waiting for a kidney transplant. Confirm your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register today - it only takes 2 minutes but could save up to 9 lives.

[Lupus UK @LUPUSUK]

The @MELODYStudyUK found that about 4 in 5 people with a weakened immune system (including those with #lupus) had antibodies after having 3 or more vaccines. People who had more doses of vaccine were more likely to have antibodies. Read more here: https://t.co/4KPNJIw0h4
