To evaluate immunogenicity consistency between three consecutive batches of commercial-scale productions for Sinovac Rabies vaccine
This clinical trial employed a randomized, double-blind design, enrolling a total of 912 participants aged 18 to 45 years. The investigational vaccine was the serum-free rabies vaccine produced by Sinovac. Eligible participants were enrolled and randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into Trial group 1, Trial group 2, and Trial group 3, with 304 participants in each group. They received vaccination according to the Essen regimen (1-1-1-1-1) on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28, for a total of 5 doses of tjhree commercially scaled batches of the rabies vaccine.
Blood samples will be collection at baseline before the first dose of immunization (D0), 14 days after the first dose (D14, before the third vaccination), and 14 days after the full course of immunization (D42), as well as 3, 6, and 12 months after the full course of immunization. All participants were required to complete immediate reaction observation within 30 minutes after each vaccine dose, and adverse events and serious adverse events were collected from the first dose of baseline immunization vaccination until 30 days after the last dose.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
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.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
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.
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.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
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.
