Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of GR1801 injection with Human Rabies Immunoglobulin(HRIG) in patients with WHO Category 3 rabies exposure.

Patients will receive GR1801 injection or HRIG. Each group will receive rabies vaccine as the WHO Essen regime after Study Drug.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, Human Rabies Immunoglobulin(HRIG) controlled Phase III clinical trial evaluating the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic and immunogenicity of GR1801 injection as a part of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in patients with WHO Category 3 rabies exposure who have met all inclusion/exclusion criteria for their treatment group.

1200 patients aged 18 and above with WHO Category III rabies exposure should be enrolled as planned and randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group based on a ratio of 3: 1. The random stratification factors include time of exposure (within or beyond 24 hours), bite location (above or below the neck), and number of bites (1 or more).

All the patients should receive wound infiltration injection of GR1801 or HRIG on Study Day 0 (wound conditions should be described and recorded both before and post injection by photos, including diameter, depth, expansion treatment, etc.), and should also receive intramuscular injection of one dose of the freeze-dried rabies vaccine for human use (Vero cells) into the deltoid muscle after the infiltration injection. Patients should also be given one dose of the freeze-dried rabies vaccine for human use (Vero cells) on Study Days 3, 7, 14, and 28 respectively according to the WHO Essen regime.

Rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (RVNA) should be collected 9 times from each subject prior to administration and on Study Day1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 42, 90, 365 post administration of Study Drug. RVNA should be assayed through rapid fluorescence focus inhibition test (RFFIT). The occurrence of rabies and survival conditions should be collected through every follow-up visit.

Adverse events should be classified in accordance with solicited adverse events and unsolicited adverse events. Solicited adverse events include local adverse events (such as injection sites pain, induration, swelling, redness, rash and pruritus) and systemic adverse events (such as fever, hypersensitivity, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, arthralgia and myalgia). Unsolicited adverse events are those except solicited adverse events or solicited adverse events beyond 7 days after the first administration.

Solicited adverse events should be collected 7 days after the first administration. Unsolicited adverse events should be collected in 3 months after the first administration and serious adverse events(SAE) should be collected throughout the trial.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Ran from Oct 2022 to primary completion in Sep 2023, 10 months.

Of 19 phase 3 interventional studies under Rabies, half reached primary completion within 15 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 21. This study's 10 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 25, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
