Study summary

The Phase 3 clinical trial of freeze-dried human rabies vaccine (human diploid cells) adopted a randomized, blinded, parallel control,non-inferiority design,and administered vaccines to participants aged 10 to 60 years with different immunization schedules (5-dose schedule group, two simple 4-dose schedule groups, and 2-1-1 schedule group) to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the vaccine.

Read the detailed description

The trial will use a randomized, blinded, parallel-group, non-inferiority design. A total of 3000 participants will be planned to be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio to the 5-dose control vaccine schedule, the 5-dose experimental vaccine schedule, the simple 4-dose experimental vaccine schedule 1, the simple 4-dose experimental vaccine schedule 2, and the 2-1-1 trial vaccine schedule, with 600 participants in each group, including 100 participants aged 10 to 17 years and 500 participants who will be 18-60 years old. Immunogenicity visits will be scheduled for all participants: (1) 5-dose schedule group: before dose 1, day 7 (before dose 3), day 14 (7 after dose 3, before dose 4), day 28 (14 after dose 4, before dose 5), day 42 (14 days after the full schedule); (2) Simple four-dose schedule group 1: before dose 1, day 14 (7 days after dose 3 and before dose 4), day 28 (14 days after the full dose), and day 42 (28 days after the full schedule); (3) Simple four-dose schedule group 2: before dose 1, day 14 (7 days after the third dose), day 28 (before the fourth dose), and day 42 (14 days after the full schedule); (4) 2-1-1 schedule group: before dose 1, day 7 (before the third dose), day 14 (7 days after the third dose) and day 35 (14 days after the full schedule). If the vaccination is delayed, the blood collection time will be postponed according to the vaccination time of the corresponding dose.

A total of 1200 participants in the immune persistence subgroup (including 200 participants aged 10-17 years and 1000 participants aged 18-60 years) will be selected. Blood samples will be collected at 3 months and 6 months after the full schedule of vaccination to evaluate the immune persistence. The first 40% of participants in the 10 to 17 years of age group and the 18 to 60 years of age group enrolled at each site will be selected as participants in the immune persistence subgroup.

All participants will be observed for safety events that will occur from the first dose through 30 days after the full schedule and for SAEs and pregnancy events that will be reported from the first dose through 6 months after the full schedule.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

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 Jun 19, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
