Overview
Brief Summary
To evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of different post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) schedules of Sinovac rabies vaccine, in comparison with a marked rabies vaccinein china, in subjects aged 10-60 years old.
Detailed Description
This clinical trial is designed as a randomized, blinded, homologous vaccine-controlled and non-inferiority trial, which consists of two parts.
Part 1 (Pilot Study):
First, 20 subjects aged 18-60 years are enrolled to receive the trial vaccine (Sinovac rabies vaccine) according to the 5-dose schedule on Days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28. A preliminary safety assessment is conducted on Day 7 after the third dose (before the fourth dose). If the incidence of Grade 3 and above AEs does not exceed 15%, and no death or life-threatening SAE related to vaccination occurs, another 20 subjects aged 10-17 years are enrolled. A safety assessment is performed again on Day 7 after full-course vaccination. If the incidence of Grade 3 and above AEs during the entire observation period does not exceed 15%, and no death or life-threatening SAE related to vaccination occurs, the trial proceeds to Part 2. All subjects are observed for safety up to 6 months after full-course vaccination.
Part 2:
A total of 2,000 subjects are enrolled, and randomized at a 1:1:1:1 ratio, 500 in the 5-dose trial group, 500 in the 5-dose control group, 500 in the 4-dose trial group 1, and 500 in the 4-dose trial group 2. The subjects in the 5-dose trial group and the 5-dose control group receive one dose of the trial vaccine or control vaccine (a marketed rabies vaccine in China) on Days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28, respectively. The subjects in the 4-dose trial group 1 receive one dose of the trial vaccine on Days 0, 3, 7 and 14; and the subjects in the 4-dose test group 2 receive one dose of the trial vaccine on Days 0, 3, 7 and 28.
Blood samples were collected on Day 0, 14, 28, 42, as well as 3 and 6 months after the full-course vaccination, which was for testing serum neutralizing antibodies are detected using the Rapid Fluorescent Focus Inhibition Test (RFFIT). Solicited AEs within 0-7 days after each dose, unsolicited AEs from the first dose to 30 days after full-course vaccination, and all SAEs from the first dose to 6 months after full-course vaccination are collected.
