Study of Purified Vero Rabies Vaccine Compared With Two Reference Rabies Vaccines in a Simulated Post-Exposure Regimen in Adults

France640 participantsStarted 2019-07-01

Plain-language summary

Primary Objective: To demonstrate that Purified Vero Rabies Vaccine - Serum Free Vaccine generation 2 (VRVg-2) was non-inferior to Verorab and Imovax Rabies vaccines when co-administered with human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG), in terms of proportion of participants achieving a rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titer greater than or equal to (\>=) 0.5 international units per milliliter (IU/mL) at Day 28, i.e., 14 days after the fourth vaccine injection. Secondary Objective: * To describe the safety profile of VRVg-2 versus Verorab and Imovax Rabies vaccines when co-administered with HRIG, as well as that of VRVg-2, after each vaccine injection. * To demonstrate that the proportion of participants in the VRVg-2 + HRIG group achieving an RVNA titer \>= 0.5 IU/mL at Day 28 was at least 95 percent (%). * To describe the immune response induced by VRVg-2 versus Verorab and Imovax Rabies vaccines when co-administered with HRIG, as well as that induced by VRVg-2, at Day 14 (7 days after the third injection), at Day 28 (14 days after the fourth injection) and at Day 42 (14 days after the last injection).

Inclusion criteria : * Men or women aged \>=18 years on the day of inclusion (\>= 18 years means from the day of the 18th birthday onwards, with no upper age limit). * Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures. * Body Mass Index (BMI): 18.5 kilograms per square meter (kg/m\^2) less than or equal to (\<=) BMI \<=30 kg/m\^2. Exclusion criteria: * Pregnant, or lactating, or of childbearing potential and not using an effective method of contraception or abstinence from at least 4 weeks prior to the first vaccination until at least 4 weeks after the last vaccination. To be considered of non-childbearing potential, a female must be post-menopausal for at least 1 year, or surgically sterile. * Participation at the time of study enrollment or, planned participation during the present trial period in another clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure. * Receipt of any vaccine in the 4 weeks (28 days) preceding the first trial vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine prior to Visit 7. * Previous vaccination against rabies (in pre- or post-exposure regimen) with either the trial vaccines or another vaccine. * Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months. * Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticos…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
