- Conditions
- Rabies (Healthy Volunteers)
- Interventions
- Biological: Purified vero rabies vaccine - serum free VRVg-2Biological: Purified inactivated rabies vaccineBiological: Equine rabies immunoglobulins (ERIG) (only Group 3 and Group 4)Biological: Human rabies immunoglobulins (HRIG) (only Group 5 and Group 6)
- Registration Number

- Lead Sponsor
- Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company
- Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
To describe the immune response induced by VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccine at Day 14 (to assess the immune response after 3 doses \[2-2-2\]) and Day 42 (to assess the immune response after 4 doses \[2-2-2-0-2\]) when administered as standalone in healthy pediatric population or co-administered with HRIG (Group 5 and Group 6) at Day 0 in healthy adults.
Secondary Objectives:
* To describe the immune response induced by VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccine at Day 14 (to assess the immune response after 3 doses \[2-2-2\]) when co-administered with ERIG (Group 3 and Group 4) at Day 0 in healthy adults
* To describe the immune response induced by VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccine at D90 (to assess the immune response 90 days post-rabies simulated exposure) when administered as standalone in healthy pediatric population or co-administered with HRIG (Group 5 and Group 6) at Day 0 in healthy adults
* To describe the safety profile of VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccine as standalone in pediatric population or when co-administered with ERIG (Group 3 and Group 4) or HRIG (Group 5 and Group 6) at Day 0 in adults, after each vaccination.
- Detailed Description
The duration of each participant's participation in the study is approximately 7 months (28 day-vaccination period followed by 6 month safety follow-up period).
