About this study

A single center, prospective cohort, open-label study of rabies post exposure program with equine rabies immunoglobulin (ERIG) and purified chick-embryo cell (PCEC) rabies vaccine in WHO category III exposed patients at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand aims to compare serum RVNA responses between obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2) and normal weight/underweight (BMI < 25 kg/m2) and to evaluate adverse events occurring after immunization on days 7, 14 and 28.

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference of rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) levels between obese and normal/underweight patients.

    To compare RVNA levels between obese and normal/underweight patients.

    Measured: At day 7 prior to vaccination.

  2. The difference of rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) levels between obese and normal/underweight patients.

    To compare RVNA levels between obese and normal/underweight patients.

    Measured: At day 14 prior to vaccination.

  3. The difference of rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) levels between obese and normal/underweight patients.

    To compare RVNA levels between obese and normal/underweight patients.

    Measured: At day 28 prior to vaccination.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of adverse event

    Number of participants with ERIG or PCEC-related adverse events as assessed by investigator as per CTCAE v4.03.

    Measured: From day 0 to day 60

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin and Purified chick-embryo cell rabies vaccine in people with Rabies, run by Mahidol University 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 4 Apr 2017. 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?

The difference of rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) levels between obese and normal/underweight patients. (time frame: At day 7 prior to vaccination.). The study lists 3 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 4 Apr 2017.
