Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of participants achieving rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titer greater than or equal to (≥) 0.5 IU/mL
Day 14 (post-vaccination)

RVNA titers will be measured by rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT)

Percentage of participants achieving RVNA titer greater than or equal to (≥) 0.5 IU/mL
Day 35 (post-vaccination)

RVNA titers will be measured by RFFIT

Number of Participants achieving RVNA titer greater than or equal to (≥) lower limit of quantification
Day 14 (post-vaccination)

RVNA titers will be measured by RFFIT - Lower limit of quantification for RFFIT assay is 0.2 IU/mL

Geometric Mean Titer Ratio (GMTR) of individual RVNA titer: (post-/pre-vaccination)
Day 14 (post-vaccination

RVNA titers against rabies virus will be measured by RFFIT at Day 0 and Day 14 - RVNA ratios Day14/Day0 will be calculated

Number Subjects with rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titer ≥ 0.5 IU/mL as measured by rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT)
Day 42

Rabies virus neutralizing antibody will be measured by rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT)

Number of participants with rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titer ≥ 0.5 IU/mL at Day 42 (14 days after the last vaccination of primary vaccination series).
Day 42 post-vaccination

Rabies virus neutralizing antibody titer will be determined by the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT)

Antibody Persistence in terms of rabies virus neutralizing antibody titers at 6 months and 12 months after the first vaccination
6 and 12 months post-vaccination

Rabies virus neutralizing antibody titer will be determined by the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT)
