About this study

Official title: A Phase IV, Randomized, Open-label Study to Evaluate One Year Long-term Persistence of Immune Responses Following Two Different Rabies Vaccine Post-exposure Regimens (Zagreb 2-1-1 and Essen 1-1-1-1-1) in Chinese Children

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the 1 year immunogenicity persistence of Rabipur in children 6-17 years of age, and compare the Zagreb regimen with the Essen regimen.

Read the detailed description

The clinical basis for the last renewal of the Rabipur license in China was the results from study V49_24 (NCT01680016), an immunogenicity and safety trial conducted in Chinese children (6 to 17 years) and adults (≥51 years), which confirmed the non-inferior immunogenicity of the Zagreb versus the conventional Essen post exposure prophylaxis intramuscular (PEP IM) regimen at Day 15 for both age groups.

At the time of license renewal in 2015, the Chinese health authorities requested that GSK continue to conduct immunogenicity persistence follow-ups for at least 1 year to compare the Zagreb regimen with the Essen regimen in populations under 17 years old.

V49_24E1 is an extension study to meet this request, in which subjects aged 17 years or younger who were immunized in the parent trial V49_24 will be recalled for a blood immunogenicity analysis approximately 4-5 years after the original vaccination.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RabipurBiological

    Also called Rabies Vaccine (Chicken Embryo Cell) for Human use

    Rabies vaccine administered as an intramuscular injection according to Zagreb or Essen regimen to subjects aged ≥6 to ≤17 years.

Study groups in NCT03192371
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Zagreb 2-1-1 GroupExperimental4 doses of Rabipur vaccine, administered intramuscularly according to the Zagreb (2-1-1) regimen (i.e., 2 doses of vaccine administered on Day 1 and 1 dose of vaccine administered on Days 8 and 22).
Receives: Biological: Rabipur
Essen 1-1-1-1-1 GroupExperimental5 doses of Rabipur vaccine, administered intramuscularly according to the Essen (1-1-1-1-1) regimen (i.e., 1 dose of vaccine administered on Days 1, 4, 8, 15, and 29).
Receives: Biological: Rabipur

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of immunogenicity in terms of antibody concentrations.

    Immunogenicity is assessed in terms of Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Rabies Virus Neutralizing Antibody (RVNA) concentrations.

    Comparison between Zagreb and Essen groups will be reported in terms of difference between GMCs.

    Measured: Study days 1, 15, 43, 197 and 393.

  2. Percentage of subjects with RVNA concentrations ≥ 0.5 IU/mL

    Comparison between Zagreb and Essen groups will be reported in terms of difference between percentages of subjects with RVNA concentrations ≥ 0.5 IU/mL.

    Measured: Study days 1, 15, 43, 197 and 393.

  3. All Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Events (AEs) leading to subject withdrawal.

    Only SAEs and unsolicited AEs leading to study withdrawal will be collected. SAEs to be assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomaly/or birth defect or significant medical event that may not be immediately life threatening or resulting in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject or require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed.

    An unsolicited AE is an AE that was not solicited using a Subject Diary and that was spontaneously communicated by a subject and/or parent(s)/legal guardian(s) who has signed the informed consent. Potential unsolicited AEs may be medically attended (defined as symptoms or illnesses requiring hospitalization, or emergency room visit, or visit to/by a health care provider), or were of concern to the subject and/or parent(s)/legal guardian(s).

    Measured: From Day1/Visit 1 through Day 393/Visit 11 (study termination).

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted20 Jun 2017
  2. Study start15 Feb 2018 (estimated)
  3. Primary completion12 May 2019 (estimated)
  4. Study completion12 May 2019 (estimated)

Why it stopped: Due to supply constraints \& prioritization according to medical need (availability of alternative rabies vaccines), Rabipur will no longer be supplied to China.

Model description
Subjects will be stratified into age subsets of equal numbers within each age cohort (children: 6 to11 years of age and 12 to 17 years of age). Within each age subset, subjects will be assigned randomly in a 1:1 ratio, to one of the two regimens: Zagreb (2-1-1) Group and Essen (1-1-1-1-1) Group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rabipur in people with Virus Diseases, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

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 17 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Evaluation of immunogenicity in terms of antibody concentrations. (time frame: Study days 1, 15, 43, 197 and 393.). 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 26 Feb 2018.
