About this study

Official title: Compare Immunogenicity, Safety and Long-term Booster Response After Primary Vaccination With 2 Intradermal Doses Versus 3 Intradermal Doses of PCEC Rabies Vaccine (Rabipur) in Healthy School Children in Thailand (5-8 Years of Age)

700 male and female healthy school-children (age 5 to 8) in Thailand were randomized to receive 2 or 3 primary rabies vaccine doses (PCECV, Rabipur) given intradermally in a dose of 0.1mL into the skin in the deltoid region. In a subset of 100 children blood was taken for rabies virus neutralizing antibody determination on day 49. All subjects were randomized to receive 2 booster doses (the recommended vaccination schedule for pre-immunized individuals in case of an exposure) on days 0 and 3, one, three or five years later. Blood was taken before and after booster for up to one year.Safety and tolerability of the vaccine was assessed and persistence of immune response up to 1 year after the booster doses.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. rabies virus neuralizing antibody, assessed by RFFIT

    rabies virus neuralizing antibody concentrations were measured in serum samples using the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT)

    Measured: seven days after the first booster dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. rabies virus neuralizing antibody, assessed by RFFIT

    rabies virus neuralizing antibody concentrations were measured in serum samples using the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT)

    Measured: one year after the first booster dose

  2. rabies virus neuralizing antibody, assessed by RFFIT

    rabies virus neuralizing antibody concentrations were measured in serum samples using the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT)

    Measured: immediately before administration of the first booster dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing rabies vaccine in people with Rabies Prevention, run by Provincial Public Health Office, Phetchabun at 1 site in Thailand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

rabies virus neuralizing antibody, assessed by RFFIT (time frame: seven days after the first booster dose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01107275, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Apr 2010.
