About this trial

A multicentre, open label trial in healthy volunteers to assess the boostability of three different rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis regimens (2 x 1IM regimen, 2 x 2 ID regimen, 1 x 2 ID regimen) when administering a single-dose, intramuscular vaccination as simulated post-exposure prophylaxis at least five years following priming.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

≥ 18 to ≤ 60 years of age at time of inclusion

Willingness to provide written informed consent

Having received PrEP with a 21IM, 2²ID or 1²ID regimen at least 5 years before starting the study. For 21IM and 2²ID interval of 5 days to 56 days between the 2 visits is allowed.

Disqualifiers

Known allergy to one of the components of the vaccine.

Subjects, who received immunomodulating therapy within the last 3 months (12 weeks).

Planned vaccination with any inactivated vaccine within 2 weeks before or after vaccination in the study or with any live attenuated vaccine within 1 month before or after each vaccination in the study.

Ongoing pregnancy or active child wish at the time of booster vaccination (D0).

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Booster vaccination

    Biological/Vaccine

    To investigate whether the boostability of a (A) two-visit IM, (B) two-visit ID and (C) one-visit ID pre-exposure vaccination regimen is non-inferior to a theoretical 99% boostability by administering a single-dose IM booster to simulate exposure to rabies at least 5 years after the pre-exposure regimens regimen.

Treatment groups

561 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: Group 1: 2 x 1IM regimen, (N = 187):Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Group 2: 2²ID regimen (N = 187):Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group C: Group 3: 1²ID regimen (N = 187)Experimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary: boostability

To investigate whether the boostability of a (A) two-visit IM, (B) two-visit ID and (C) one-visit ID Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) regimen is non-inferior to a theoretical 99% boostability when a single-dose IM simulated Post Exposure Prophylaxis (sPEP) is administered at least 5 years after the PrEP regimen. Primary Endpoint: Proportion of participants that have an adequate immune response (Rapid Fluorescent Focus Inhibition Test (RFFIT) level, WHO standard) on Day 7 after the booster.

Time frame
13 months - from First Patient In (FPI) to Last Patient Out (LPO)

Secondary outcomes

1

RFFIT levels ≥ 0.5 IU/mL Day 14

To estimate per arm the proportion of participant with adequate immune response on Day 14 after the booster. RFFIT levels ≥ 0.5 IU/mL is the WHO standard for adequate immune response.

Time frame
14 days following booster vaccination
2

FFIT levels ≥ 0.5 IU/mL on the day of the booster (Day 0).

To estimate per arm the proportion of participant with RFFIT levels ≥ 0.5 IU/mL on the day of the booster (Day 0). RFFIT levels ≥ 0.5 IU/mL is the WHO standard for adequate immune response.

Time frame
Day 0 - on day of booster vaccination
3

RFFIT levels ≥ 3.0 IU/mL on Day 7 after the booster

To estimate per arm the proportion of participant with RFFIT levels ≥ 3.0 IU/mL on Day 7 after the booster. A titre ≥ 3.0 IU/ml is considered to be a proxy for good/robust protection.

Time frame
Day 7 - following booster vaccination
4

RFFIT levels ≥ 3.0 IU/mL on Day 14 after the booster.

To estimate per arm the proportion of participants with RFFIT levels ≥ 3.0 IU/mL on Day 14 after the booster. A titre ≥ 3.0 IU/ml is considered to be a proxy for good/robust protection.

Time frame
Day 14 after the booster vaccination
