Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentages of Subjects With RVNA Titer >= 0.5 and Vaccine Group Differences ("4-sites, 1-week" to That of "2-sites, TRC" ID PEP Regimen of the PCEC Rabies Vaccine With or Without HRIG Administration)
Study day 50 (D50)

Vaccine group differences are calculated assuming a binomial distribution and the associated confidence interval for the differences in percentage was based on M-N method. Non-inferiority of the immune response of the new "4-sites, 1-week" ID PEP regimen of the PCEC vaccine, with or without HRIG administration, to that of the currently recommended "2-sites, TRC" ID PEP regimen of the PCEC rabies vaccine with or without HRIG administration, as measured by the percentage of subjects with RVNA titer ≥ 0.5 IU/ml at day 50 in the whole study population.

Frequently asked questions about Rabies vaccine

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.
