Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Neil O Morain"
- Neil O Morain's recent research focuses on the immune responses to COVID-19 vaccinations in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly examining how treatment with TNF inhibitors affects these responses.
- The study titled "Reduced Serological Response to COVID-19 Vaccines in Patients with IBD is Further Diminished by TNF Inhibitor Therapy" highlighted a significant reduction in antibody responses among IBD patients compared to healthy controls.
- Results from the VARIATION study indicated that the immunosuppressive effects of TNF antagonists may further compromise the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccinations in individuals with IBD, emphasizing the need for tailored vaccination strategies in these populations.
