What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) After a Booster Dose of Purified Chick Embryo Cell Culture (PCEC) Rabies Vaccine

    A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in one or more of the following: death, is life-threatening, required/prolonged hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/or birth defect, an important and significant medical event that may not be immediately life threatening or resulting in death or hospitalization but, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may jeopardize the participants or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed.

    Safety is assessed as the number of participants reporting SAEs after a booster dose of PCEC rabies vaccine administered in this extension study, if RNVA concentrations were <0.5 IU/mL, following a primary series of accelerated or conventional rabies pre-exposure (PrEP) intramuscular (IM) regimen in the parent study.

    Measured: From booster vaccination [6 to 9 months after Year 3 (3 years after primary series of vaccination)] up until completion of the safety follow-up period (10 years after primary series of vaccination)

  2. Number of Participants Who Had Their Rabies Virus Neutralizing Antibody (RNVA) Concentrations Drop Below 0.5 International Units (IU) Per Milliliter (mL) Between Day 366 and Year 3

    Measured: Day 366 to Year 3 (after primary series of vaccination)

  3. Number of Participants Who Had Their RNVA Concentrations Drop Below 0.5 IU/mL Between Year 3 and Year 4

    Measured: Year 3 to Year 4 (after primary series of vaccination)

  4. Number of Participants Who Had Their RNVA Concentrations Drop Below 0.5 IU/mL Between Year 4 and Year 5

    Measured: Year 4 to Year 5 (after primary series of vaccination)

  5. Number of Participants Who Had Their RNVA Concentrations Drop Below 0.5 IU/mL Between Year 5 and Year 6

    Measured: Year 5 to Year 6 (after primary series of vaccination)

  6. Number of Participants Who Had Their RNVA Concentrations Drop Below 0.5 IU/mL Between Year 6 and Year 7

    Measured: Year 6 to Year 7 (after primary series of vaccination)

  7. Number of Participants Who Had Their RNVA Concentrations Drop Below 0.5 IU/mL Between Year 7 and Year 8

    Measured: Year 7 to Year 8 (after primary series of vaccination)

  8. Number of Participants Who Had Their RNVA Concentrations Drop Below 0.5 IU/mL Between Year 8 and Year 9

    Measured: Year 8 to Year 9 (after primary series of vaccination)

  9. Number of Participants Who Had Their RNVA Concentrations Drop Below 0.5 IU/mL Between Year 9 and Year 10

    Measured: Year 9 to Year 10 (after primary series of vaccination)

  10. RVNA Antibody Concentrations 7 Days After the Booster Dose

    RVNA antibody concentrations were measured in terms of Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) and expressed in IU/mL. The booster dose was administered in this Extension study (conducted from Year 3 to Year 9 after the primary schedule study) only when participants had RVNA concentrations <0.5 IU/mL at the yearly immunogenicity check (i.e., at "Scheduled Clinic Visit"). Booster dose administration occurred at an approximate timepoint between 6 and 9 months from the previous "Scheduled Clinic Visit" during the Years 3 to 9.

    Measured: At Day 7 after booster dose

  11. RVNA Geometric Mean Ratios (GMRs) 7 Days After the Booster Dose Versus Antibody Concentrations Before the Booster Dose

    GMR was calculated as ratio of post booster dose RVNA GMCs (7-day post booster dose) to the baseline RVNA GMCs (7 days before booster dose). The booster dose was administered in this Extension study (conducted from Year 3 to Year 9 after the primary schedule study) only when participants had RVNA concentrations <0.5 IU/mL at the yearly immunogenicity check (i.e., at "Scheduled Clinic Visit"). Booster dose administration occurred at an approximate timepoint between 6 and 9 months from the previous "Scheduled Clinic Visit" during the Years 3 to 9.

    Measured: Day 7 after booster dose compared to baseline (7 days before booster dose)

  12. Percentage of Participants With RVNA Concentrations Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 0.5 IU/mL, 7 Days After Booster Dose

    The booster dose was administered in this Extension study (conducted from Year 3 to Year 9 after the primary schedule study) only when participants had RVNA concentrations <0.5 IU/mL at the yearly immunogenicity check (i.e., at "Scheduled Clinic Visit"). Booster dose administration occurred at an approximate timepoint between 6 and 9 months from the previous "Scheduled Clinic Visit" during the Years 3 to 9.

    Measured: At Day 7 after booster dose

  13. Percentage of Participants With RVNA Concentrations >= 0.5 IU/mL at Year 3

    Measured: At Year 3 after primary series of vaccine administration

  14. Percentage of Participants With RVNA Concentrations >= 0.5 IU/mL at Year 4

    Measured: At Year 4 after primary series of vaccine administration

  15. Percentage of Participants With RVNA Concentrations >= 0.5 IU/mL at Year 5

    Measured: At Year 5 after primary series of vaccine administration

  16. Percentage of Participants With RVNA Concentrations >= 0.5 IU/mL at Year 6

    Measured: At Year 6 after primary series of vaccine administration

  17. Percentage of Participants With RVNA Concentrations >= 0.5 IU/mL at Year 7

    Measured: At Year 7 after primary series of vaccine administration

  18. Percentage of Participants With RVNA Concentrations >= 0.5 IU/mL at Year 8

    Measured: At Year 8 after primary series of vaccine administration

  19. Percentage of Participants With RVNA Concentrations >= 0.5 IU/mL at Year 9

    Measured: At Year 9 after primary series of vaccine administration

  20. Percentage of Participants With RVNA Concentrations >= 0.5 IU/mL at Year 10

    Measured: At Year 10 after primary series of vaccine administration

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rabies Virus Neutralizing Antibody Concentrations

    Antibody concentrations were measured in terms of GMCs and expressed in IU/mL.

    Measured: At Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and Year 10 after primary series of vaccine administration

  2. Reverse Cumulative Percentage for Participants With RVNA Concentrations >=0.5 IU/mL

    As specified in the statistical analysis plan, a graphical presentation of the Reverse Cumulative Distribution Plots for participants with RVNA concentrations >=0.5 IU/mL was analyzed for this outcome measure. Due to system constrains, only the reverse cumulative percentage values were reported, to depict the Reverse Cumulative Distribution Plots.

    Measured: At Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and Year 10 after primary series of vaccine administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rabipur, Blood sampling and Purified Chick-Embryo Cell Rabies Vaccine in people with Virus Diseases and Rabies, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 7 sites in 3 countries.

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 18 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Germany, Austria, Switzerland. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jul 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) After a Booster Dose of Purified Chick Embryo Cell Culture (PCEC) Rabies Vaccine (time frame: From booster vaccination [6 to 9 months after Year 3 (3 years after primary series of vaccination)] up until completion of the safety follow-up period (10 years after primary series of vaccination)). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Jul 2024.
