About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity Study of a Reduced (4-dose) Vaccine Schedule and Rabies Immunoglobulins for Post-exposure Rabies Treatment

Reduced 4-dose intramuscular rabies vaccination schedule was announced by US-ACIP and WHO to be one of the post-exposure prophylaxis regimens. However, concurrent usage of this regimen with rabies immunoglobulin have never been studied in the aspect that the immunity level would above the protective level required by WHO (0.5 IU/ml) for at least a year period. This study would access this subject.

Read the detailed description
  • Controlled trial study
  • All 75 volunteers who had never had rabies immunization would be enrolled and designated into 3 groups. group 1 : 25 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 40 IU/kg of equine rabies immune globulin (ERIG). group 2 : 25 Healthy volunteers age 18 - 60 yr receive 4-dose intramuscular rabies vaccine on day 0,3,7,14 and 40 IU/kg of equine rabies immune globulin (ERIG). group 3 : 25 Healthy volunteers age 18 - 60 yr receive 4-dose intramuscular rabies vaccine on day 0,3,7,28 and 40 IU/kg of equine rabies immune globulin (ERIG).

5 cc - Blood would be drawn from all volunteers before vaccination and on day 14, 28, 90 and 360 for rabies neutralizing antibody titers (RNab).

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

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 rabies vaccination on day 0,3,7,14

    Rabies Neutralizing antibody titers in volunteers who receive rabies vaccination on day 0,3,7,14 would be determined on day 0,14, 28, 90 and 360. 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 1 year period

  1. Rabies Neutralizing antibody titers in volunteers who receive rabies vaccination on day 0,3,7,28

    Rabies Neutralizing antibody titers in volunteers who receive rabies vaccination on day 0,3,7 and 28 would be determined on day 0,14, 28, 90 and 360. 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 1 year period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing rabies vaccine 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 6 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 rabies vaccination on day 0,3,7,14 (time frame: Change from baseline of Rabies Neutralizing Antibody Titers at 1 year 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 6 Apr 2018.
