Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentages of Subjects With RVNA Concentrations ≥0.5 IU/mL At 7 Days After Last Active Vaccination
Day 7 after last active vaccination (day 15 - group that received accelerated schedule, day 36 - group that received conventional schedule)

Immune response was measured as the percentage of subjects with rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) concentrations ≥0.5 IU/mL, evaluated using the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test at day 7 after last active vaccination, i.e. the third out of four vaccinations given in the accelerated Rabies vaccine schedule and the fourth out of four vaccinations given in the conventional Rabies vaccine schedule. As per study design, this primary immunogenicity outcome measure aimed to demonstrate non-inferiority of R/JE - Acc Vs R - Conv.

Percentages of Subjects With PRNT50 Titer ≥1:10 At 28 Days After Last Active Vaccination
Day 28 after last active vaccination (day 36 - group that received accelerated schedule, day 57 - group that received conventional schedule)

Immune response was measured as the percentages of subjects with a titer of ≥1:10 in a 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50) 28 days after last active vaccination, ie, the second out of three vaccinations given in the accelerated JE vaccine schedule and the third out of three vaccinations given in the conventional JE vaccine schedule. As per study design, this primary immunogenicity outcome measure aimed to demonstrate non-inferiority of R/JE - Acc Vs JE - Conv.

Secondary Endpoints

RVNA Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) At 28 Days After Last Active Vaccination
Day 57 (28 days after last active vaccination)
PRNT50 Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) At 28 Days After Last Active Vaccination
Day 57 (28 days after last active vaccination)
Percentages of Subjects With RVNA Concentrations ≥0.5 IU/mL At 28 Days After Last Active Vaccination

Frequently asked questions about Rabies

What is Rabies?

Rabies is a monoclonal antibody developed by Novartis AG for the prevention and treatment of rabies infection, including post-exposure prophylaxis. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis, rabies infection, and rabies. The drug is being studied in healthy volunteers and patients.

What is Rabies used for?

Rabies is used for post-exposure prophylaxis and treatment of rabies infection. It is being investigated in Phase 3 clinical trials for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis, rabies infection, and rabies. The drug is intended to prevent the onset of rabies after exposure and to treat active infection.

What does Rabies target?

Rabies targets the rabies virus. As a monoclonal antibody, it is designed to neutralize the rabies virus, preventing it from infecting cells and spreading. This mechanism is being evaluated in clinical trials for post-exposure prophylaxis and treatment of rabies infection.

Who makes Rabies?

Rabies is developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company. Novartis is conducting Phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Rabies in various populations, including healthy adults and children, for the prevention and treatment of rabies.

What phase is Rabies in?

Rabies is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is not yet approved by regulatory authorities and remains investigational. The drug is being studied in completed Phase 3 trials for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis and rabies infection, with a total enrollment of 885 participants across multiple studies.

What clinical trials is Rabies in?

Rabies has been studied in three Phase 3 clinical trials: NCT00345319, NCT01662440, and NCT02177032. These trials evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of rabies vaccines and regimens in healthy volunteers and patients with rabies infection, across countries including China, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Philippines, and Thailand.
