Effect of ERIG Injection on Day 7 After First Dose of Rabies Vaccination to Rabies Immune Response

A study testing Equine rabies immunoglobulin injection on day 7 in people with Rabies, run by Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute at 1 site in Thailand.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

No study was conducted to evaluate the rabies neutralizing antibody titers after RIG injection on day 7. The only study that has supported the delay of RIG administration was done in 1996 by our institute, of which RIG was given on day 5 with the original Thai Red Cross intradermal regimen (2-2-2-0-1-1).

About this study

Official title: Effect of Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin Injection on Day 7 After First Dose of Rabies Vaccination to Rabies Immune Response

No study was conducted to evaluate the rabies neutralizing antibody titers after RIG injection on day 7. The only study that has supported the delay of RIG administration was done in 1996 by our institute, of which RIG was given on day 5 with the original Thai Red Cross intradermal regimen (2-2-2-0-1-1).

Read the detailed description

Rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) should be administered as soon as possible after the initiation of post-exposure prophylaxis. RIG should not be given after day 7 following the first rabies vaccine dose, because circulating neutralizing antibody will have begun to appear. Nevertheless, no study was conducted to evaluate the rabies neutralizing antibody titers after RIG injection on day 7.

The only study that has supported the delay of RIG administration was done in 1996 by our institute, of which RIG was given on day 5 with the original Thai Red Cross intradermal regimen (2-2-2-0-1-1). The ongoing study would prove the validity of the recommendation and eliminate the controversies in clinical practice.

What participants receive

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

  • Equine rabies immunoglobulin injection on day 7Biological

    The patients with WHO category III rabies exposure, who have received first dose of rabies vaccination a week before and have not received rabies immunoglobulin were enrolled. Blood for Rabies neutralizing antibody titers (RNab) would be examined on day 0. On the same day, Equine rabies immunoglobulin (ERIG) at the dosage of 40 IU/kg would be injected into and around the wound as much as possible and the rest would be injected intramuscularly at the site distance from rabies vaccine. Then blood for RNab would be serially examined on day 7, 14, 90, 365.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rabies neutralizing antibody titers

    Rabies neutralizing antibody titers would be represented and compared by geometric mean titers (GMTs)

    Measured: Change from baseline of geometric mean titres of rabies neutralizing antibody titres at 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Equine rabies immunoglobulin injection on day 7 in people with Rabies, run by Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute 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 3 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Suda Sibunruang, MD (+66 2 2520161 ext. 125, sudapunrin@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rabies neutralizing antibody titers (time frame: Change from baseline of geometric mean titres of rabies neutralizing antibody titres at 2 weeks). 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 29 Apr 2022.
