Trial summary

Dosage of rabies immune globulin was calculated from the victim's body weight, then the amount of rabies immune globulin would be injected as much as possible to all of the wounds. Read more about this study

About this study

Dosage of rabies immune globulin was calculated from the victim's body weight, then the amount of rabies immune globulin would be injected as much as possible to all of the wounds. Increase dosage of rabies immune globulin was needed in situation of multiple severe bite-wounds especially among children whose had lower body weight than adults. Our study would be conducted in order to determine whether the increase dosage of rabies immune globulin would interfere with the protective antibody levels against rabies.

Read the detailed description
  • Controlled trial study.
  • All 50 volunteers who had never had rabies immunization would be enrolled and designated into 2 groups. group 1 : 15 Healthy volunteers age 18 - 60 yr who were attacked by mammals, possible exposed to rabies and had WHO category III exposure, all receive standard post - exposure rabies treatment with 5-dose intramuscular rabies vaccine on day 0,3,7,14,28 and 20 IU/kg of human rabies immune globulin (HRIG). group 2 : 35 Healthy volunteers age 18 - 60 yr receive 5-dose intramuscular rabies vaccine on day 0,3,7,14,28 and 40 IU/kg of human rabies immune globulin (HRIG).

5 cc - Blood would be drawn from all volunteers before vaccination and on day 14, 28 and 90 for rabies neutralizing antibody titers (RNab).

The GMTs of RNab among both groups would be analyzed and compared.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    HRIG 20 IU/kg and 40 IU/kg would be given once to the volunteers on day 0

What is being measured

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

  1. Rabies Neutralizing antibody titers in volunteers who receive HRIG 40 IU/kg

    Rabies Neutralizing antibody titers in volunteers who receive HRIG 40 IU/kg would be determined on day 0,14, 28 and 90. Rnab titers above 0.5 IU/ml would be considered as protective levels as WHO recommendation.

    Measured: Change from baseline of Rabies Neutralizing Antibody Titers at 3 - month period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants who have Rabies Neutralizing antibody titers above protective levels.

    Number of participants who have Rabies Neutralizing antibody titers above protective levels (> 0.5 IU/mL as recommended by WHO)at 3-month period.

    Measured: Number of participants who have Rabies Neutralizing antibody titers above protective levels at 3-month period..

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Human Rabies Immune Globulin in people with Rabies, run by Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 9 Apr 2018. 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.

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 Neutralizing antibody titers in volunteers who receive HRIG 40 IU/kg (time frame: Change from baseline of Rabies Neutralizing Antibody Titers at 3 - month period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Apr 2018.
