Filter by:A rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) concentration ≥ 0.5 IU/ml at 14 days after immunization is considered a proxy for protection in vaccine efficacy studies. Abridged and dose-sparing vaccination regimens increase accessibility and reduce both direct and indirect costs, especially in resource-constrained countries where RABV prevalence is highest. Several efficacy studies evaluated safety and immunogenicity of abridged regimens in healthy adult volunteers using either four-site intradermal (ID) or intramuscular (IM) regimens, showing them to be safe and immunogenic. Researchers at the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) have previously conducted a retrospective study on clinical outcome at ≥6 months in 3318 Cambodians who received intradermal Vero cell vaccine post-exposure prophylaxis after a bite by a rabid or sick-looking but untested dog in 2003-2014. Here, the investigators could show that there was no significant difference in survival among patients who received 3 versus 4 sessions of the Thai Red Cross (TRC) ID regimen. In a separate study, investigators measured antibody responses in order to evaluate the immunogenicity of the TRC regiment after 3 sessions versus 4 sessions. The investigators did not observe an increase in rabies virus seroneutralization titers 14 days after the fourth immunization compared to 14 days after the third immunization. These results contributed to changes endorsed by the WHO in its April 2018 guidelines. The "Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) regimen" of three PEP sessions of two-site ID 0.1 mL vaccine doses each at days 0, 3 and 7 is the first one-week PEP regimen to be recommended. In the current research project, the aim is to compare further different PEP vaccination strategies in a real life setting of individuals attending the rabies vaccination center at Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) in Phom Penh, Cambodia. The antibody kinetics and cellular immune responses in patients following either the one-week, 2-site ID regimen (IPC regimen) or the two-week IM regimen (4-dose regimen) as well as the participants' survival for both protocols after 6 months are evaluated.
This is a phase III, randomized, comparator-controlled, double-blind, multicenter study to evaluate lot-to-lot consistency of three lots of a PIKA Rabies Vaccine, immunogenicity and safety in healthy adults using a post-exposure prophylaxis schedule. It is also the aim of this study to evaluate non-inferiority and superiority of the PIKA Rabies Vaccine compared to the rabies vaccine comparator ChiroRab.
A phase III clinical trial to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of freeze-dried human rabies vaccine (Vero cell) developed by Changchun Zhuoyi Biological Co., Ltd. inoculated in a 4-dose procedure (2-1-1)
Evaluation of immune persistence after rabies vaccination in 150 people.
To evaluate the non inferiority of the immunogenicity of the test vaccine inoculated according to the four dose immunization program over the five dose immunization program and the batches consistency of immunogenicity according to five dose immunization procedures.
Evaluation of immunogenicity and safety of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine (BBIBP-Cov) coadministered with rabies vaccine.
This observational study will be conducted across the Houston Methodist system, including all hospital-based and freestanding emergency departments (ED), and up to 4 additional sites in the United States. The safety of human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) 300 IU/mL product (HyperRAB®) in pediatric patients has not been fully established. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of HRIG 300 IU/mL when given to pediatric patients per standard of care for rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) in the ED.
Every year, rabies, a disease transmitted to humans by rabid dogs, is estimated to kill 59,000 people globally, mostly children 15 years and below in Africa and Asia. This is despite the availability of effective vaccines against rabies in humans, and in dogs. Following a dog bite, there are two critical steps required to prevent clinical disease and death: thorough wound washing with clean running water for at least 15 minutes; and immediate injection with anti-rabies vaccine on the day of being bitten followed by other four injections over the course of one month. Delay in seeking first dose of anti-rabies or failure to complete the recommended dosage may result in clinical rabies and death. The investigators proposed to assess the effect of short message system (SMS) phone text reminders sent to bite patients ahead of their scheduled visits on the adherence to scheduled anti-rabies doses among bite patients in rural eastern Kenya. The investigators enrolled bite patients presenting at Makueni County Referral Hospital between October 2018 and March 2019. Bite patients presenting to the facility between January and March 2019 received SMS reminder written in both English and local dialect a day before each dose of anti-rabies vaccine. These data were compared to those presenting to the health facility in the period prior (October to December 2018) before the introduction of the SMS reminder. This group received routine hospital cards as reminder of their next dose of anti-rabies vaccine injection. Each study participant was contacted after one month from the time of the bite and a phone interview completed to assess compliance and factors associated with completion of the five doses of anti-rabies vaccine.
This clinical trial is carried out in two phases. The first phase adopts an open design, and the second phase adopts a randomized, blinded, and similar vaccine-controlled non-inferiority trial design. The first stage: According to the order of two age groups of 18-60 years old and 10-17 years old, 40 cases were enrolled in each age group (20 persons for the 5-dose program and 20 for the 4-dose program). Subjects in the 5-dose group received 1 dose of test vaccine on 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days each. Subjects in the 4-dose group received 1 dose each on both arms on day 0, and 1 dose on day 7 and day 21 each. All subjects in the first stage were only observed for safety and were followed up to 6 months after the entire course of vaccination. The second stage: the total number of enrolled 2400 cases, 10-60 years old, the 4-dose program group and the 5-dose program group of the test vaccine, the 4-dose program group and the 5-dose program group of the control vaccine according to the random ratio 1:1:1:1. Among the total number of participants, 1680 cases (420 cases per group) were simultaneously observed for immunogenicity and safety, and the remaining 720 subjects (180 cases per group) only underwent safety observation. 800 subjects (200 cases in each group) received 6-month immune persistence observation after full vaccination, and 400 subjects in the test vaccine group received 12 months immune persistence observation after full vaccination. In the second stage, 1680 subjects were collected before the immunization, 7 days after the first dose, 14 days after the first dose, and 14 days after the full vaccination to test rabies virus antibodies to evaluate the immunogenicity of the test vaccine. 800 subjects were in the whole process Immune persistent blood sampling was performed 6 months after vaccination, and subjects in the test vaccine group were further subjected to immune persistent blood sampling 12 months after the full course of vaccination to evaluate immune durability. Collect all AEs within 30 minutes after each dose, AEs from 0-7 days, all non-collective AEs from the first dose to 30 days after the full course of vaccination, and all serious AEs from the first dose to 6 months after the full course of vaccination Adverse events.
After exposure, rabies can be prevented in almost 100% of cases by the administration of sufficient and timely post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). PEP is based on wound cleansing, antisepsis, administration of rabies vaccine as well as rabies immunoglobulin, if reviewed. However, anti-rabies PEP remains too often out of financial and / or geographic access, especially for poor and / or rural populations in endemic countries who remain the most exposed to the risk of contracting rabies. Two major studies planned in Cambodia between 2014 and 2018 - the RESIST 0/1 clinical - epidemiological study and the RESIST-2 study on the antibody response to the vaccine - provided the basis that allowed a change in international recommendations on PPE. Since April 2018, the new "IPC protocol" of three sessions of reduced double doses (0.1 mL x 2) administered intradermally (ID) over one week has replaced the already very effective "TRC protocol" of four sessions over one month which was the reference dose-sparing protocol for endemic countries until 2018. It remains to be determined whether the IPC protocol (3 sessions / 1 week) confers long-term immunity equivalent to that obtained after a TRC ID protocol (4 sessions / 1 month). This question is of importance to public health decision-makers and clinical teams in endemic countries who would hesitate to switch to the abbreviated IPC protocol.
