About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind Parallel-group, Non-inferiority Phase II/III Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of BPL HRIG With Co Administration of Active Rabies Vaccine in Healthy Subjects

A prospective, randomized, blinded, parallel-group, non-inferiority, phase II/III study of the safety and effectiveness of simulated post-exposure prophylaxis with BPL HRIG with co-administration of active rabies vaccine in healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

Each subject will undergo a total of 9 visits. Subjects' eligibility will be assessed at Screening, which can occur up to 28 days prior to dosing. Following a repeat eligibility check at Day 0, eligible subjects will be randomized and dosed with the randomized treatment (BPL HRIG + vaccine or Comparator HRIG + vaccine) on Day 0. Further assessments will be conducted on Days 3, 5, 7, 14, 28, 49 and the end of study assessment on Day 140. Vaccine will be administered on Day 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28.

What participants receive

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

  • HRIGDrug

    A 20 IU/kg dose of BPL HRIG will be given on Day 0 via IM injection.

  • HyperRABDrug

    Also called HRIG

    A 20 IU/kg dose of Comparator HRIG will be given on Day 0 via IM injection.

  • RabAvertBiological

    Also called active rabies vaccine

    A 1.0 ml dose of active vaccine (2.5 IU/ml) will be given IM on 5 occasions: on Days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Subjects With Anti-rabies Antibody Titer of ≥0.5 IU/mL

    Non-inferiority in terms of the proportion of subjects with anti-rabies antibody titer of ≥0.5 IU/mL after study drug administration using a non-inferiority margin of 10%.

    Measured: Day 14

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Analysis of AUC0-7d

    The AUC0-7d for BPL HRIG and vaccine versus comparator HRIG and vaccine using a non inferiority margin of 20%.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 7

  2. RVNA Geometric Mean Titers at Days 3, 5, 7 and 14

    Comparison of the geometric mean titers (GMTs) for antirabies antibody titer after administration of BPL HRIG and vaccine versus comparator HRIG and vaccine. The median peak RVNA titer occurred at Day 14, which is reflected in the analysis. The RVNA titer to peak geometric mean is analyzed using a repeated measures analysis. The inferential test compares RVNA values between BPL HRIG and HyperRab in a single analysis across all visits at or below the visit at which peak titer is observed. The geometric mean values presented represent a mean across all visits from baseline through and including Day 14.

    Measured: Days 3, 5, 7 and 14

  3. Proportion of Subjects Reaching Antirabies Antibody Titer of ≥ 0.5 IU/mL by Visit

    The proportion of subjects reaching antirabies antibody titer of ≥ 0.5 IU/mL after administration of BPL HRIG and vaccine versus comparator HRIG and vaccine.

    Measured: Days 3, 5, 7, 14, 28, 49, and 140

  4. Proportion of Subjects Reaching Antirabies Antibody Titer of ≥ LLOQ of the Assay by Visit

    The proportion of subjects reaching antirabies antibody titer of ≥ LLOQ of the assay at each visit after administration of BPL HRIG and vaccine versus comparator HRIG and vaccine.

    Measured: Days 3, 5, 7, 14, 28, 49, and 140

  5. RVNA Geometric Mean Titers at Days 14, 28, 49 and 140

    Comparison of the GMTs for antirabies antibody titer after administration of BPL HRIG and vaccine versus comparator HRIG and vaccine to assess the inhibitory effects of BPL HRIG on active immunization relative to that of the comparator HRIG.

    Measured: Days 14, 28, 49 and 140

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing HRIG, HyperRAB and RabAvert in people with Healthy, run by Bio Products Laboratory at 2 sites in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 28 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 25 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 11 Feb 2020). 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?

Proportion of Subjects With Anti-rabies Antibody Titer of ≥0.5 IU/mL (time frame: Day 14). 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 25 Feb 2020.
